Last Boost: I feel bad that I've had two good years on Mastodon, and have been trying to get people to move to it, only to have one of the servers I was on implode, ruining the experience for the newbies.

If people can hate for no reason, you can love for no reason.

:anarchy:

You can skip the Wordle or the Xword for one day to push back against the NYT's attempts to devalue the very workforce that brings them profit, surely 😊

Ryan North is correct.

"who cares" with an exclamation mark has very different semantics from "who cares" with a question mark, and while i don't want to die on this hill, i do gotta die SOMEWHERE

Today is Pearl Harbor Day in the U.S., a “day that will live in infamy” for the unprovoked attack by the Empire of Japan upon U.S. forces stationed in Hawaii. But it also marked a dark turning point for Japanese Americans, who overnight became the “enemy.” (1/4)

NASA: How's it looking up there guys?

ASTRONAUT: I've never seen anything so beautiful

Talking about *feelings* and estrogen then feeling *feelings* because of estrogen.

In the background, Java compiles. Just tech.lgbt things.

American dudes are banned for the next 3.5 years. It's the law.

Don't forget to love one another :blobheart:

When you can, do so openly. Showing your love for the important people in your life in public brings a bright light to dark places and holds back the monsters lingering in the shadows.

Y'know, hero shit. :blobhero: :blob_smile_hearts:

Reminder to anyone who supports the NYT staff's labor action: unless a miracle happens and we get a contract deal by midnight, we will be walking out for one day tomorrow, Dec. 8.

We'll be asking supportive readers to abstain from visiting/using NYT offerings for the day, midnight to midnight. That means articles. That means multimedia. That means... Wordle.

I know. That one pains me too. But maybe the word will be like LYMPH and we'll all be lucky to miss it.

Boss: if you fall asleep again today, I'll fire you

Me: ok

Boss: now go and do the sheep inventory

Me: oh no

Recall a time when someone came to your aid, stood up for you, showed you an unexpected kindness. Hold on to those memories, for they are dear. Strive every day to make someone else feel the way you did in that moment.

Writing is weird.

'Hey, you wanna hear about this thing that didn't happen?'
'To you, or-'
'To these people who don't exist. The whole thing's fake. Absolute bullshit, top to bottom. Are you in or not?'

I've known people who work on TV shows and movies for a while now, but more so in the last couple of years. Actors, writers, producers, artists.

It feels wierd, cause (1) I LOVE MOVIES and often talk about them, both in what I like, and what I don't like and (2) I often share screenshots of the movies, which means I have them on my hard drive and implies I got them nefariously.

It's led me to kinda curb some of the talk I do about them, mainly because, maybe one of the folks who worked on it is reading it and I've just hurt their feelings, or given how "legal" the business is, could be on the hook for a story premise I just legally made difficult.

The second one is at least easier to explain - I pull all my VHSes, DVDs and Blu-Ray to files to reduce wear on the hardware and the media. In fact, I'm in the process of re-encoding a ton of my movies as some of these old encodes are 20 year old 320x240 Mpeg files that don't play well with today's HD TVs (Such as "Doctor Who: The Smeary Macroblocking of the Daleks").

But it doesn't mean that the first knee-jerk reaction MIGHT be "Did you pirate my movie?" I remember discussing a "blip" in a movie with one of its producers almost a year ago and they asked for a screenshot, and I literally for seveal seconds thought "Oh, crap, are they gonna think I pirated/am pirating the movie if I send them a screenshot from AVIDemux?"
