Microsoft will get owned using creds stolen from Recall on one of their staff's systems
(this one is less of a prediction and more of a "please I need this to happen because it would be a gem of pure amusement in an otherwise cold and indifferent world")

Two smartly-dressed people with clipboards at the gate: “We're here to spread some positivity in the New Year”
Me yelling out the window: “No thanks!”

I get why people keep saying going viral is awful, you shouldn't want that, etc etc; must be a nightmare if it's for something personal/political/'controversial'
But a creative/daft thing that's slightly distanced from you? You still get annoying replies, but overall it's pretty fucking great

I think this is really neat: a map of where you can get to by train within 8 hours from any European train station. Hooray for trains. https://www.chronotrains.com/en

I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it
The "Weird Old Book Finder"
Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://weird-old-book-finder.glitch.me
Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*
Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
A longer essay on how/why I developed it: https://debugger.medium.com/a-search-engine-that-finds-you-weird-old-books-3a74fbb5f3d4
This was a search for "mastodon"

With my usual impeccable timing, I’ve chosen the day after the Christmas rush to set up a blog collating nice stuff that I find in museum and gallery shops.

Okay as this post is getting a lot of traction, new rule. Trans women, plug your fundraisers or PayPal links in the answers. Allies, go give them your money instead of mansplaining.
