I followed a bot account and then put it in a list so it doesn't take over my main feed. Problem is it posts so much and often that it just ends up being spam. It did have a few interesting links which is why I was trying it. I'll probably nuke it.

I did just see that they sent an email. I wasn't looking for that since they said "we'll text you"
| Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:03:39 +0000Looks like things came back around 9:20am. Never did get the text from Spectrum giving the "all clear" so who knows if it will go down any minute.
| Mon, 27 Jul 2026 16:57:42 +0000Spectrum still working on stuff since midnight. Hope they get done before my workday starts. 😬 At least I have OTA so I can catch up on the morning news.

Rating Scale
I quite like Steph Ango's system of rating 1 to 7 so I'm adopting it. It is more granular than 1 to 5 and 1 to 10 is too many.
- 7 — Perfect, must try, life-changing, go out of your way to seek this out
- 6 — Excellent, worth repeating
- 5 — Good, don’t go out of your way, but enjoyable
- 4 — Passable, works in a pinch
- 3 — Bad, don’t do this if you can
- 2 — Atrocious, actively avoid, repulsive
- 1 — Evil, life-changing in a bad way
