One is often a fun day.
The other...I'd rather not say.

The Loops beta is launching this weekend!
Reblogged by jsonstein@masto.deoan.org ("Jeff Sonstein"):
Due to recent developments, we have made the tough decision to postpone the public beta launch for 11 days.
It turns out that Meta's Threads.net platform is building a groups feature that they curiously named Loops, and we feel the need to polish the app and Loops platform further so we can maintain the communities expectations.
We hope you understand, and those of you who registered via our CryptPad form can expect an email with additional details in the next few days!
Some of you may receive early access, and we look forward to onboarding more beta testers.

Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb.
So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.
