I don't know anything about wrestling anymore so I'd get it and walk around talking about how excited I am for the Henry Cavil reboot.

Not that I'm planning on leaving Bsky. But it's nice to have options. And I'm thinking about building a site in Ghost CMS which there's some cool fediverse integrations there it looks like.

I will say if you want an easy way to get your feet wet on Mastodon. The Vivaldi Browser has its own Vivaldi Social instance that's easy to sign up for and doesn't seem like it's something that will puff up in smoke one day.

I'm still just lurking on there for now.

I know what the headline says, but you aren't unconvincing me this isn't "The Asshole of Boe" from an unaired Doctor Who episode.

How to grow a giant pumpkin, with help from science - The Associated Press

The picture is a guy standing next to a giant pale pumpkin laying on it's side. There's support framing around it. Stuff taped to it.

It looks like a gigantic disembodied asshole that would be the subject of a bad sci Fi movie.

A third thing about Tom's Diner.

The lyrics to the Meow Mix jingle fit perfectly, and you'll never unhear it.

I want chicken
I want liver
Meow Mix Meow Mix
Please deliver

Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow
Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow

Ryan North? But - he died... 30 years ago this very night!! @ryannorth.ca · 2d

two things about Tom's Diner:

1) the original (with just Susanne Vega) is CRYING OUT for the beat DNA added - it just stops in silence for a few seconds without it and you feel its absence deeply.

2) you can use the lyrics and a newspaper deep dive to determine the exact day it was written :0

"Tom's Diner Day": The date of the composition
An article on Suzanne Vega's official website[7][8] uses clues in the song to determine the exact date that Vega wrote it.

Vega said that she wrote the song in 1982; Brian Rose has said that it was written sometime between mid-1981 and mid-1982. The lyrics refer to a rainy morning, when she was at the diner on the corner, reading in her newspaper of "a story of an actor / who had died while he was drinking", and afterwards "turning to the horoscope / and looking for the funnies". Only two newspapers in New York City carried comic strips, or "funnies", in 1981 and 1982, and only one, the New York Post, featured a front-page story of the death of Oscar-winning actor William Holden, whose body was discovered on Monday, November 16, 1981. In a 2008 essay for The New York Times, Vega confirmed that Holden was the actor whose death she had read about and inspired the line in the song.[5]

War ravaged. Burning to the ground.

But also, every frozen yogurt shop, toy store, and breakfast nook open for business.

The speed at which these tech oligarchs and wannabes go full fascist. They aren't used to this kind of attention and are so Anti-Human any sort of introspection on the how and why they are experiencing this kind of hostility. They just expect everyone to be in awe of them and their "genius."

Ah, yes, the pseudo intellectual facade of having a deep understanding of humanity despite the fact that they can't empathize in nor navigate a world of humans, and in fact, have clear disdain for them.

There should be more to it though, I think. Like
IF before Nov 23 AND IF follower count > {whatever number} OR IF followed Doug Chu before he was a piece of shit, or something.

It's before November of 2023 I think is the qualifier.

Not only that, but if I remember correctly, the word was originally on the banned list and a later git commit showed that it was removed.

This whole "we have Twitter at home" thing you are doing here isn't going to work. People who like Twitter are already staying on Twitter.

Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner:

“No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports.”

If Rocko's Modern Life made you transgender, let's be friends. I'm not trans, just to disclose that up front, but I'd love to be besties with someone who became trans because of Rocko's Modern Life.

6. Musk himself boosted posts targeting shows well beyond children’s fare, singling out adult programming with transgender characters or themes, including Sense8, Tales of the City, The Umbrella Academy, Disclosure, and Will & Harper

Transgender propaganda isn’t just quietly lurking in the background on Netflix.

They are actively pushing it on users.

Here’s a Netflix article listing shows that “honour transgender and non-binary people” for ‘Trans Day of Visibility’.
