Don't do colonialism, kids. Just say no. You might think it's all cool and under liberal democratic control but you're fostering the men of violence and they will come for you and your institutions.
Today I learned the story of the passively boiled frogs is totally untrue.
"The 'critical thermal maxima' of many species of frogs have been determined by several investigators. In this procedure, the water in which a frog is submerged is heated gradually at about 2 degrees Fahrenheit per minute. As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water."

So the plethora of communists on TikTok could be seen as a relationship to the lack of actual communist parties in the places where the TikTokers live.

In general I don't like this profile picture. It feels too cisgender-by-default. I keep my hair short and my beard trimmed for autistic sensory needs, and I like second-hand hard-wearing clothes like tweed. It all adds up to an accidentally avuncular image. I need to think about this. Maybe I'll get a blåhaj face tattoo.

I'd go further and say that Mastodon being bigger and having its own community and culture is actually a downside as regards attracting public figures from twitter. They don't want to have to engage with an existing culture but would rather settle on empty land.
Today I made Swedish applesauce (äppelmos) from a lot of local fallen apples and feel like a farmer 🍎🍏
nostr:npub1y98u6vcmvnxz0vt0z6d37827zxwzt7zy3dxzxr60x9sd9awh62mqddfhhs My preliminary and provisional conclusion is that, technically, AT has a lot going for it and could be much better than Mastodon - but that I would never choose to put my eggs in that basket based on this technical data, because it will be other things that determine whether AT is good, even if it is technically better.

Oh. My. God.

Why aren't soy sauce crisps (potato chips) a thing? Are they a thing in southeast Asia?

"Did you see any invisible people come past here just now?” is a classic Dungeons and Dragons joke. Now we can update it with "has anyone seen where our stealth plane is?"

nostr:npub1ccruyu99k72wrf3turtp6hqzmtqygevlc9vhmylwp3q7h9efv4ys0ystyy maybe cast fozzie as both Boromir and Faramir so he gets maximum screen time? The 'why not use the ring' delivered as a stand up routine that gets booed off.
