the funniest explanation I've seen, and therefore the one I'm choosing to believe is true (credit to this Bluesky post from *checks notes* Sen. Lemon Gogurt)

the reporter is from a local NYC outlet called "The City"

this advisor was probably told she'd be meeting up with someone from "the city" and she was supposed to give them cash for something

Brill denied that his client’s payment to THE CITY reporter was nefarious in any way.

“I can see how this looks strange,” Brill said. “But I assure you that Winnie’s intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any negative impression or confusion this may have caused.”


incredible. absolutely incredible. Saul Goodman would be proud. claiming it's "Chinese culture" to hand people money concealed in potato chip bags.

Everything in this story is gold!

Which, in Chinese culture is often seen as good fortune.



How much can I extend an OrderedCollection?


Just an idle thought... A common UX is users copying the URL in the address bar and pasting it into their fediverse app to load it in their app. Right now if you copy a NodeBB topic ([code]/topic/12345[/code]) and paste it into something like Mastodon, y

Right now if you copy a NodeBB topic (/topic/12345) and paste it into something like Mastodon, you'll get nothing because it is an ordered collection and it doesn't know how to handle it.

But... what if I passed in a preview property a la evan@cosocial.ca's b2b8 and it contained a Note? Maybe a note with a different id? Maybe with a name?

Waiting for trwnh@mastodon.social to tell me this is a terrible idea.

ideally, Mastodon should use `name` and `summary` for any unrecognized type

even more ideal would be if Mastodon could recognize that the collection was a Thread specifically, but one step at a time 😀
