Spread the word and seed till you bleed – for the betterment of humanity!

@lorxus @deejvalen I loooove the salmon farming software story :D

@deejvalen It's a song off an album by the Seattle Garages: thegarages.bandcamp.com/album/

I'm pretty sure if "crispwave" isn't really a thing yet, it will be soon. But I just love the absurdity of the song name. XD

@hystericempress It's cool, it's cool, we have cookies.

Today at the dog park: a bald eagle! Circling around in the distance. Wasn't sure what bird I was seeing at first, then a flash of white tail feathers made me quite sure...

...and then the crows showing up to mob it away confirmed it for us. 😄

socrates: why?
plato: ok hold on let me get out a scroll so i can list them
aristotle: how can i name them unless i know their genders
heraclitus: they're all named dave, done
diogenes: [disqualified for eating the beans]

re: pop quiz, media, silly 

@zebratron2084 Well, to be fair, my knowledge of BBC shows pre-2000 is more or less limited to Red Dwarf, Doctor Who, and Monty Python. Everything isn't grungy enough for RD, and that's definitely not a Python costume, so that leaves the third thing. XD

re: pop quiz, media, silly 

@zebratron2084 The First Doctor in their single colorized appearance.

re: pfizer vaccine 

Today I am Achey but otherwise okay. No more fever. My left arm does feel like it got kicked by the ungulate of your choice, though.
