An excellent quote from a source I've long forgotten that I somehow just dug out of my archives:

Good yuri turns girls into lesbians. Great yuri turns boys into lesbians. 

in one of my circles of friends they do a thing where they add more than one member to pluralkit for people in their system and just make all but one of them private

and each one has a different expression in the profile picture

so while they talk they proxy their messages slightly differently as their tone changes, like an rpg talksprite. it owns

Just for giggles, I made my own live shader editor using #godotengine. It works great, however, I have no idea how to access the errors the shader compiler generates. So if something fails, I just show a horse. LOL. If anyone knows if accessing that info is possible, please let me kno. #shaders #screenshotsaturday

- If you care about the facts of the case, let's consider that **the robot was not actually stolen** and yet they were seemingly charged with "grand larceny," a felony. The robot drove away, of its own volition

Now that we've seen seen the legal mechanism used by police to compel a food delivery robot company to give them footage, we can now have a conversation about whether we as a society want ubiquitous, subpoenable cameras on wheels driving around our sidewalks at all times.

If any spreadsheet software already does this, please do let me know. I've many times wanted to plot events from for example a csv file on a calendar/schedule view.

Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to implement as a new kind of chart, that takes columns for start + end time, or start + duration, and a column for labels and renders that as a schedule or calendar.

I can't understand why no spreadsheet software out there have a way of displaying a table of events as a schedule/calendar.
