Can't believe I have been hanging out with you bozos for two years

this is a modification of a Quiznos add from the 90s, with the orca whales being the weird crazy guys with the funny voices. "We love the subs!" "They got a people bar!" It's in reference to OceanGate

I usually am Team Cephalopod, but you have to give props to this sea otter that took on a very large Giant Pacific Octopus for its lunch (Kachemak Bay, AK). Note the octopus eye in bottom right of second photo. 🦑 🧪

Finally some good news!

Oh gotcha, I just applied for a Pixelfed account myself, you've made me curious! And I love it: shitposting on Linkedin in my mind is like the digital equivalent of showing up at the office, not clocking in, and belching the ABCs before gracefully ballerina-dancing out.

I'm not familiar with the term fediverse... just looked it up. Interesting. I have heard good things about Mastodon.

And yeah, this site feels a little surface-ey, not sure how else to describe it. I think it'd be funny if people started using Linkedin & all its fun features for memes and junk.
