I think I might give Mastodon another go and try to stay off twitter for a while. I know I’m going to miss a lot of people on there who aren’t on here, so I may try to figure out some way to keep up to date with just those people instead of seeing my full feed.
So is there a good native macOS app for Mastodon yet, ~~or am I going to have to write my own?~~

when I first ran D&D, my grandmother, who had bought fully into the IT'S SATANISM hype, insisted on sitting and watching the first session
about an hour in, she threw her hands up and yelled 'THIS IS JUST MATH' and stormed off

Here’s a helpful flow chart for deciding whether to notify your entire company

"He took a potion, though."
"Oh, so he's a Pokémon trainer!" #GrantPlaysDnD
Bard/Blood Hunter: "I need you to use protection, the battlefield is no place for a pregnant woman."
Paladin: "Did someone say protection?"

"Fun is my middle name, baby." #GrantPlaysDnD
"Mmmm, I like a girl who's nimble." #GrantPlaysDnD #DnD

📝 A few years ago we wrote down our company’s values. Today, we explain why you should too. Read the new blog post here:

I’ve rolled three natural 1s in this encounter. After the most recent one, I jokingly rage quit from the Discord call. Apparently, I rolled another natural 1 for that. #GrantPlaysDnD #DnD

I keep going back to bird site every once in a while to check up on people that are only on there and aren't on Mastodon, and, boy, it really doesn't take long to remember why I try to use it less and less.
“And now it’s Uller’s turn.”

“Oh, right I’m playing Uller!”

For example, if I have an app that shows blog posts, and I want to look at a list of all blog posts, I should only fetch the things I need (title, date posted, number of comments, for example) as a dictionary result type, and never as an array of Post managed objects.
The more I work with Core Data, the more I think I should never be just fetching objects directly; that, instead, I want to be fetching only the data I need and only in the structure I need.

I've seen the UPS truck on my street so many times on the "Follow My Delivery" page, and yet I don't have a new Apple Watch on my wrist yet.
