Apparently a potential school shooting averted here in the SF Bay Area:

PSA - The bug with our implementation of 'bionic reading mode' ignoring the first word and not rendering certain emojis has been resolved.
YIPEE!
Further, we have renamed the feature to 'PreCog Reading Mode' because there's a dude in Switzerland who thinks he can patent/copyright 'software that alters the way text is displayed'.
And he's making wild-ass threats. Lol.
His patent definition literally covers any word processor application and standard CSS in its entirety.
Yes. He's a clown.
The world is pretty sad today...my coping strategy for the moment will be to enjoy an #NBA playoff game this evening, but I doubt that I'll really be able to stop thinking about awful news
Looks like a beautiful day out there. Gonna emerge into the sunshine and see what Saturday brings
Phoenix Mercury without Brittney Griner not looking good tonight...oof! Nice coaching debut for Becky Hammon with the Aces though. And a fun OT game between Chicago and LA! I'm enjoying #wnba opening night with League Pass so far

Based on the reasoning given in the snippet of the draft decision that I saw, Griswold is absolutely next on the chopping block

Metal barricades have gone up in front of the Supreme Court building. Coincidence?
Woooo boy. Saw some upset posts on my friends feed and figured I should check the news to confirm that sinking feeling. Not liking what I see. That's an understatement, but I'm not finding the right words at the moment

That lack of algorithms cuts both ways.
If you aren't keen on standing in a deluge of outrage, maybe opt out of the Community Firehose for a spell.
We'll leave the lights on for you. ✌️

Sitting here watching the hospitalizations rise in SF exactly 30 days after the mask mandate was ended wonder why we're choosing to kill people?
I've been following some new folks - finding interesting people on the firehose is a little random but fun! I feel like I ought to be more systematic in looking through hashtags, but serendipity is nice too. Hopefully no one minds the follows

"How do I get followers here?"
Post about the stuff that interests you, and you'll quickly get a bunch of followers who are interested too. For better results, use hashtags! #CoSoTips
OK, so it's Tuesday for the first game of #warriors versus #grizzlies for the #NBA playoffs - I'm a little worried because the Warriors have struggled against Memphis, but it will still be fun!
It amazes me how impatient some people were about expecting an instantaneous response to an unprecedented challenge. I remember the many days of the Failwhale over on the birdsite, and they had more people to work on outages!
