Hey how’s the weather? I have a bottle of maple syrup on my dining table for unimportant reasons and every time I glance over at it I think about Cheryl Blossom and it’s super distracting.

I’m not a fan of the Outline as they’ve had some articles about trans issues(like one about de-transitioning without including people who use to id as trans woman, but leaned a bit on the terf-ish side too); however, I have been a fan of Joshua Toplosky since his days at Engadget and The Verge. He’s pretty good when it comes to net neutrality and interesting stories in tech.
