We love garbage day! My partner spotted a box of tapes on the curb in our neighborhood and my goodness it's loaded with goodies. The biggest treasure is this screener copy of Ghostbusters 2! That might be our curbside luck for the year spent haha

Exciting day on the street today.

Garbage day, but the routine is all changed, so everybody is getting chastising stickers for putting their blue box out when it's a shocking switch to black box. Boom - breaking everyone's rhythm. (Not us, we checked ahead). 😁 #keeners

As well, garbage pickup is bumped by a week, so it next will be three weeks since the last one.

Biggest excitement since the ditches were cleared back in '24.

#garbageDay

Wasn't expecting snow this morning, but it's thankfully light. It's also 'garbage' day – but not actual garbage, just green bin (organics) and paper.

We don't really have much of either accumulated so I just cleared the path a bit and skipped putting out the bins until next week so the truck/workers need not stop here for tiny amounts.

Ryan Broderick's podcast, Panic World, did an episode a while back on internet panic as it relates to porn criminalisation - so of course I had to listen to it. #garbageday #panicworld

Today's #GarbageDay #Newsletter, "Democracy Dies in Billionaire Group Chats", is worth the read if you have the time: https://www.garbageday.email/p/democracy-dies-in-billionaire-group-chats

None of my garbage bins are staying upright today. The winds are still whipping around. I ran out twice already to prop them back up.

When I took a short drive for lunch, I had to dodge and weave around an entire street full of toppled trash bins.

We can make self-driving cars but you can't make a bin that won't topple? City must be run by raccoons.

edit: reported wind gusts of 50-75km/h ... our poor bins don't stand a chance.

#GarbageDay

The clouds have been threatening rain all day today. But the showers only started after I piled up all my cardboard recycling to the curb.

Lovely wet, heavy, cardboard recyclables for pick up. Great.

Friday is #GarbageDay. Friday starts in a few minutes, and I just heard my neighbor roll out his #trash bins. Everyone else puts out their #garbage between late afternoon and sunset, but this one neighbor always waits until almost midnight. Why do I have two separate neighbors who do #TrashDay weirdly? I don't know.

I’ve entered the stage of adulting where missing garbage day one week, ruins my life thanks to garbage limits.

#RyanBroderick just kicked an aha moment out of my head in the last #GarbageDay.

I've been thinking lately about why I'm suscribed to #Dropout and not #Netflix or whatever else, and it's not just because Dropout is significantly cheaper (it also has significantly less and less varied content).

It's because I watched Game Changer on YouTube, and really loved it, so I signed up.

But why am I still signed up? Game Changer doesn't really release all that often.

Looks like #GarbageDay moved from Substack to Beehiiv, kudos.

#garbageday whew Broderick killed it today, greatstuff

In the last #GarbageDay, Ryan wrote:

"Crypto may have fizzled, but it did make some real money for certain people and, more importantly, connected and philosophically galvanized a group of tech workers that now just so happen to be sitting on a whole bunch of GPUs that are perfect for running AI models."

This is something I never would have thought of, but it speaks to the material conditions that enable this sort of thing. Money and hardware.

These days, I lean heavily on Ryan Broderick’s Garbage Day newsletter to know what’s going on in the areas of social media I don’t pay much attention to. In other words, TikTok, Instagram, and… well, most of it.
However, as Broderick himself points out, nobody really knows what’s going on, and there is no centre, due to […]

Sag mir, dass Du das Fediverse nicht kennst, ohne zu sagen, dass du das Fediverse nicht kennst:

»And, finally, I’m running a little distributed content experiment for the next few weeks. I’m camped out on all the major platforms […] So far, Tumblr is where I’m getting the most on-platform engagement, but Instagram is beginning to drive some actually noticeable traffic.« 🤡

(ich glaube, das trifft es besser als "monopol", wie von #garbageday verwendet. natürlich hat taylor swift ein monopol auf sich selbst. aber dass sie die strahlkraft besitz, um die studios zu bypassen, ist ausdruck von schierer netzwerkmacht.)

Thread Bare?

“I decided not to follow anyone. And so, for the last couple days, I have only been seeing the raw machinery of #Threads. Its #algorithm is just blasting me with random posts...

My verdict: Threads sucks shit. It has no purpose. It is for no one. It launched as a content graveyard and will assuredly only become more of one over time.”

I don't think things are going to plan for them today.

„after a few minutes using Bluesky, I was able to finally figure out why I dislike Mastodon so much: I don’t care about federating, I don’t want to pick a server, I just want to jump on an app and look at posts, and Mastodon’s posts are too long and wide and don’t look good and Bluesky’s posts — which users are now calling “skeets” — are narrow and compact and easy to read.“ /via @ryanbroderick #bluesky #garbageday #substack 🤷‍♂️

IMO the Fediverse is a kind of community with strong beliefs about what it brings us.

So when I read the #GarbageDay newsletter that compares BlueSky (a copy/paste of Twitter) and Mastodon, and they claim that multiple servers is crap, I hit the "trash bin" button on that newsletter.
Bye bye Ryan :trashfire:

Guess who moved a water heater out by the curb all by herself?

#Recycle #Appliance #GarbageDay

Ben doesn't like the day before #GarbageDay. His long stroller ride/walk is delayed until optimal foraging time.

Late enough that people have put things out, early enough that the pros in the pickup trucks haven't stripped all the good stuff! 😄
