Congratulations to @bsky.app, which just passed the six million users mark. That's roughly the size of the population of the great state of Maryland. Please have some cake (crab OR Smith Island, or both!) to celebrate!

Bluesky is kind of like Brother laser printers. It wins not because it does anything especially well, but because all of its obvious competitors have trodden on their collective cranks in spectacularly avoidable ways right out of the gate.

My family is all from Maryland and I can scold you for suggesting that anyone eat any crab from anywhere other than Maryland, but I have never heard of Smith Island Cake until now!

that flag looks like the entire state got together and collectively said "our nephews can do graphic design, why would we hire a flag designer" and then had like 5000 nephews collaborate on the design

Ah! My home state has been mentioned! Tradition demands that I now post my favorite animated MD flag gif, but I am afraid I can't do that yet. I'll have to settle for one from the archive.

You can order Smith Island cakes, if anyone is curious. And now you know they name for a cake with too many layers to count.

I do have a stout in the fridge that pays homage to the smith island cake. Figure that'll do in a pinch?
