@donohoe @jeffehobbs @internetarchive Top levels are definitely chaotic but once you get into specific collections metadata quality is really high. Historical audio, 78 RPMs, concert recordings, etc. What are you looking for? Think of it as many nice libraries oriented around a huge open flea market.

@eroston BTW if there's been a parasocial media pal for my recent transition from uninformed climate depressive to uninformed climate obsessive, it is 100% you + BBG Green. Thanks for ruining my life, I guess!

@heybonanos We once made Rice Krispie/Fruit Loops treats for ~70 kids (twin birthdays). It's Brooklyn public school so they had to be halal and vegan. Vegan marshmallows are dense. So I stirred HARD with a silicon spatula. A tiny bit cracked off. It was 10pm. Found it after three hours.

@webology @sophaskins The problem with doing it and being a legend is that you are doing it and being a legend inside a procurement system or via email to the person who just wants to get it into QuickBooks or to your accountant. (ZFG LLC is a good name tho.)
