Sam the Octopus @troubleMoney@computerfairi.es

I've been on masto just long enough that someone can mention "spyro" and I have no idea if they're talking about the dragon or just misspelling the stuff that makes you crave salt

huh, sarah jeong's back on masto

under-over on there being a new york times article about the fediverse in the near future?

first customer showed up at 8:45 sharp for the new opening hours

When I was a much younger octopus, there was a show on TV that I remember as being called "Roobarb and Custard"

Now, any time I see or hear the words "Rhubarb and Custard" the theme tune plays in my head

as a "batman" is a personal servant Alfred Pennyworth could be considered Batman's batman

Seriously, in one battle we lost 14 tanks, nine half-tracks, four gun carriers and two anti-tank guns because the crews were all outside having cups of tea

This was actually a real problem

Our tank crews kept getting shot because they got out of the tank to use a little stove to make tea any time they had a spare 5 minutes

Eventually the top brass just said "Fuck it, put a kettle inside the tank"

Reminder that British tanks are far better than other countries tanks because all of ours have kettles fitted so you can have a cup of tea in battle

this isn't even our cat

Slightly regretting deleting my twitter account a while ago

Because now I can't post "TREBUCHET TERFS 2018" and get banned from there

I could make a new account to do that but it's just not the same, y'know?

always have a blanket handy in case you or your frens need warms

I usually put the wet food out for the hedgies at about quarter to nine

Tonight, there was one already there waiting for me

May have to bring the opening hours forward a bit

Speaking of stuff what is good, here's some really good music:

https://computerfairi.es is the best instance in the 'verse

thus spake the octopus

LB: can confirm that https://forums.transbian.love is a nice comfy web 1.0 forum

We even do 56k warnings just like the old days!

Trebucheting TERFs is a good start, but there are other cool siege engines we could use

Onager TERFs!
Ballista TERFs!

There are so many possibilities!

also, bonus laser cat in the background

Hedgehog restaurant and ballroom has its first guest since the remodel

would a terf trebuchet be a standard trebuchet specially set aside for flinging terfs, or a trebuchet made of terfs for the same purpose?

It's quite hoppy
