Tom Ford is also trying to flog watches with what looks like an undecorated ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 for over two thousand US dollars so screw that noise

7. Complicated watches are fun, Tom, fuck off
8. If it's leather then yeah, try to match colours
9. Wear whatever strap you like
10. Wear a NATO strap whenever you like, if it's a dress watch maybe go for a seatbelt weave one
11. I refer you to my answer to 2.
12. Don't be such a snob, quartz watches are still good
13. yeah, fine
14. what the fuck Tom?

Tom Ford did a thing with GQ on "the rules to wearing watches" so of course I have to respond to it

https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/tom-ford-rules-for-watches-2019

1. I've never owned a full-length mirror in my life, don't worry about it
2. Pictured below is Buzz Aldrin wearing 3 watches at the same time, Tom I fucking dare you to tell me Buzz Aldrin doesn't look baller as fuck
3. Okay, yeah, good rule
4. Go for it
5. yeah, match your metals in jewellery
6. I'm not going to argue with James Fucking Bond

UK telephone numbers are a mess

The area code is 4 digits, except when it's 2, 3, or 5

The customer number is 6 digits long, except when they're anything from 4 to 8

And the total length of a phone number is 10 digits, except when it's 9

how on earth did churches win out in popularity over henges?

you're always hearing about churches fundraising for repairs for the roof or whatever, don't get that problem with henges, henges don't need any maintenance at all when you've built 'em

can't beat a good henge

a small @maple shaped board game piece is called a beeple

hedgehogs seemed to enjoy the new addition!

also got the blackbird seal of approval!

because the hedgehogs were piling up at the cafe and it was stressing them out a bit I built them an addition

birb.

three hedgie queue to get in to the cafe

I'd make the doors bigger but then the cats/foxes/birds would keep raiding it and leave no food for the hedgehogs so they're going to have to learn to queue up nicely

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M FREE TO GO NOW!? I SPENT YEARS IN THAT EMBASSY TO HIDE FROM THE AMERICANS! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TELLING ME I SPENT YEARS IN THERE FOR NO REASON AT ALL?"
"yup, bugger off"

The UK government should decline Julian Assange's extradition to the USA

Not because he shouldn't be extradited or anything, but because him spending years hiding in an embassy to only get 50 weeks in prison for jumping bail would be hilarious

Lance Ulanoff posted his "6 reasons Mastodon won't survive" article over two years ago

https://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/

Ooh, someone jumped the gun making a page live, a not yet announced new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M variant, black bezel, white dial, black rubber strap

I'm also assuming this'll be available on the bracelet

Looks pretty neat

Only on mastodon are you truly safe from bad actors

Really, we managed to get rid of Wil Wheaton AND William Shatner! No bad actors here

@maple or playing actual music from its speakers I suppose

but all beep covers of music are awesome

@maple cosplaying as DJ Roomba by riding a roomba around and making beepy music noises

So how much is Verizon wanting to sell Tumblr for?

Thought we might be able to pass the hat around and buy it as a communal thing
