#freeidea Left Behind meets Urbanist fantasy: one morning a city wakes up to find 1/3 of all private cars have vanished. Is there a pattern to those taken? How do the people and the practices of the city adjust to the change?...

A novelty account I'd definitely follow: alt text hall of fame.

I saw an old email subject line saying that I still hadn't planted my #Hacktoberfest tree and had an idea for (an) alternative(s):

- receive #OpenBadges instead of tshirt or tree and weird badges
- join any time, no deadline
- run by people not wanting to lure you to their platform
- get badges for useful 'quests', not just x pull requests
- opt-in, works with any code forge
- repo maintainers need not know about each quest's specifics

I reckon the ICC should adopt Tour de France style leader jerseys for the test rankings. Top batsman has to wear a yellow shirt. Top bowler a green shirt. Pink polka dot shirt for the all rounders. Would really sell the ICC points competition.

#FreeIdea: Animated Riker could look into the camera and present Clips From The Titan to viewers, and then also some of the stories are false.

(A "Beyond Belief" framing to play with the concept of whether animated shenanigans are canon. 😆 )

I see my earlier #FreeIdea has not yet been wished into existence.

[Here's another old #FreeIdea: make it easy to insert gifs into toots, with #AltText that sticks for the next user rather than users having to type it out anew each time.]

Here is tonight's new #FreeIdea: the pop-up menu you get when you click on an image on a website, which includes options such as "save image" and "share," should also include the option "read #AltText."

Come on, computer nerds. Make it easy for people. 💜

@danlyke 🤣 ah, kids these days with their Waylands and Yutanis...

(hm. /has/ anyone forked Wayland and named it Yutani? #FreeIdea)

(edited to add: I am not saying /you/ are a kid, to be clear. 😅)

Anyway, I think I ended up editing my post before I sent, enough that I have more room…might expand the X 🙃

Idea for name of protagonist that works in a coffee shop: Barry Starr

still not a peep from the de young museum in #GGP about how they plan to showcase art on #JFKPromenade.

here's a start: highlight and promote bay area bipoc artists and musicians. any acknowledgement by the DY would be a step forward.

It'd be nice if it were as easy to filter a hashtag as it is to follow one.

Maybe a little "person minus" icon (filter) to match the little "person plus" icon (follow). Seems intuitive and cute, alliterative little salt and pepper shakers.

hey, schumer could choose to attach a one-time rule change motion to this, just like he did for Freedom To Vote Act, bypassing the filibuster.

(the senate can literally just do that and not have a supermajority threshold but rather simple majority)

btw simple maj is explicitly stated in the constitution and the senate "fili" supermaj threshold is literally a grandfathered system bug from around 1800.
