Today's pet peeve: if you are going to use an invective, use the damn, fucking invective. Replacing characters with punctuation marks to soften it is stupid. There are plenty of actual softer words that can be used instead if needs require.

I'm not terribly musical but I think it might be possible to sing 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' using the Hawaii Five-O theme music. I call on the fediverse to prove or disprove this and to provide the appropriate supporting evidence.

A fine #Caturday indeed.

I was about eight years old. A friend of my father's showed me his work. I don't remember the name of the company. At his desk were dozens of reels of paper tape wound on spools. Some contained only a few inches of tape, others contained more. He ran a short reel through a reader. The reader […]

@Htbaa I was just looking at that yesterday. I agree that it will take a bit but it does seem compelling.

Hey everyone, just thought you should know that Saskatchewan is beautiful.
A bright yellow tree next to a bright blue lake under the blue sky.  There's a beaver lodge behind the yellow tree at the mouth of a river into the lake.  There is a hill in the background that has mostly green trees, but a few yellow ones.A view down into a beautiful valley with a big fenced-off grassy pasture surrounded by woods with a few yellow trees but mostly green.

I needed a goat-apple-opera break from grant-writing and I bet you do too.
A white goat wish her head thrown back, chewing an apple, but sort of looks like she's singing.  There are several other goats in the background, one other one obviously eating an apple.  Four goats, two white and two black, all eating apples with their heads back and their mouths open like they are singing opera.  Two goats, one white and one black, look like they are singing with their heads back as they eat red apples.  There's a tall wooden fence in the background and green grass under their feet, as well as several other goats in the background.

It appears that I'm a passport stamp and a plane ticket away from a move to Galicia. The wait for the stamp is tough: could be tomorrow, could be November or anywhere in between.

Just upped my monthly contribution to my local Mastodon instance. Please support your local instance if you have the means. Decentralization is what keeps the fediverse free and weird.

I still lurk on the r/London subreddit and came across this hilarious piece of activist art which turns a bin into a "smart glasses amnesty bin" that apparently is just across the Ray Ban store. 💅 www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/1w… #pervertglasses
A bin with some ad busting layover stuck to it. Under the ray ban and Meta logo it reads "smart glasses amnesty bin" next to a pictogram of a person throwing the glasses into a bin. 

Further text reads: Wearing hidden camera glasses massively increases the likelihood of people thinking you're a nonce

DROP THEM IN AND WALK AWAY WITH WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR DIGNITY

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Catnip Madness Shirt. I tried to wean my cats off of catnip once. They immediately switched over to crystal meth. Moral of the story: Never tell a cat what to do. collabs.shop/hvmytv
