I’m sure I’ve said it before but this is such an incredible joke

If you want to tell someone that they're mistaken... Just say that! Don't start brandishing classical logic at them.

New rule for us: If someone starts talking about "engaging in sophistry" and detailing every way our statement is "logically invalid", we will ignore that person from then on.

No one who talks like that acts in good faith. At least none we've seen.

Waiting to hear back from someone is agonizing, sometimes. There's the painful stress of "will they even answer at all", too.

Thanks to @nightpool for this #mastoadmin tip:

When witches.town goes down in the next few days, you may notice Mastodon running more slowly, as Sidekiq workers try to contact it and have to wait for the request to time out before they can move on to the next job.

To handle this, AFTER w.t goes down, log into your server on the back end, run `redis-cli`, and enter:

sadd unavailable_inboxes witches.town/inbox

This tells Mastodon not to bother trying to talk to witches.town.

I've been fronting for over a full day now. This is interesting!

Good not-quite-afternoon, to everyone who shares our timezone. And good afternoon to everyone later, and good morning to everyone earlier.

We just saw player pianos referred to as "steampunk midi sequencers", and I love that.

If you aren't arachnophobic, and you haven't before, you owe it to yourself to look up pictures of jumping spiders (also called salticids). They're downright adorable!
