A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings, and made it to the van.
However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:
"Monsieur, this is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."

Some folks on birdsite are tagging our project account in tweets like "hey jack twitter should copy this thing mastodon does". The idea that this is merely about features is short-sighted. Twitter will never, ever, ever be your friend. They are the shareholders' friend, not yours. No feature will let you see what their engineers are working on, what's under the hood. No feature will fix their headquarters in the US following and enforcing US laws and customs worldwide.
@electricplatypus aww, cute fluffy goatdragon? :D
