You: *changes profile picture*

Me: And we were once more strangers, unknown to each other across a chasmic void where names mean nothing and images, images sink into your soul but when changed are gone forever

There's a weird old guy sitting across from me at the restaurant just munching on a sandwich and staring at me while I eat. It's unsettling and... Wait... That's a mirror.

Me: Okay, it’s like Mastodon but it’s for porn. I call it The Spreadiverse.
Internet Venture Capital Person:
Me: Get it? Like the Fediverse, but you know, spread because . . .
IVCP:
Me: See, Spreadiverse refers to . . . you’re busy, I get that.
IVCP:
Me: I’ll just show myself out then. You have my info, Right? Good.
IVCP:
ME: Do you validate?
IVCP: (speaking into an intercom on the desk) Release . . . the . . . hounds.

The trick to living in LA is to not live in the areas where your weather forecast is "Possible Avalanche".

Hey people of Mastodon! I need your help in getting this to more people's awareness. I released a track about narcissistic and sexual abuse that I went through for 3.5 years and released it a week ago but almost no one heard it. This is so important for me, I just want it to be heard. Would you listen? Would you repost or send to a friend? Thank you. ❤️

This thing literally only makes sense with Oscar the Grouch driving it

Big Journalism is covering the Fox-Dominion case with some belated urgency -- but still pretending the Murdoch family's Fox "News" is a real journalism organization that went bad this one time.

I don't have the slightest doubt that the Dominion case is just one example of the core evil at the heart of this rogue operation.

At a restaurant and I was just given a paper straw in a plastic wrapper.

Our Flying Spaghetti Monster in Heaven,

Help us resist the urge to engage with online trolls,

Who seek to stir up anger and division among us.

May we remember that our words have power,

And that responding to hate with hate only adds to the darkness.

Instead, may we be a beacon of light,

Shining love, kindness, and understanding in all our online interactions.

Give us the strength to turn away from negativity,

And to choose compassion and empathy instead.

Lead us not into temptation to argue and fight,

But deliver us from the trolls who seek to bring us down.

For thine is the power to heal and unite,

Now and forevermore.

Bless us and protect us with thy noodly appendage,

R'amen.

one of my many power moves is saying "thanks everyone" at the first pause in any meeting as a strong suggestion that we can all hang up now.

Poll: I travelled the world for work (decades ago): been there, did that, got the (actual) t-shirts.

I think that's why, nowadays, my perfect holiday is at home, reading a book. I don't like "going away" on holiday.

You? "For holidays I like..."
