Take two!
Mastonauts, it's an overcast day. Winter tends to be a sad time for lots of folks. It's okay to be sad, or even depressed. It's important, though, that you have support to help you through hard times. If you feel like you've got no one to talk to, no one who understands what you're going through, just remember that there's always someone out there. If you want to talk, I'm happy to be your support. I know what it's like to feel like there's no one in your corner.
I got you. 💖
Hej mastodon
I'm writing an article about social media in 2017. I guess some of you have left birbsite for good. If some of you would care to give me short (and quoteable) statement "why" and "why mastodon is better", you'd make a journalist very happy.
Of course anon/pseudoymity is no problem. German prefered, but english is fine, re-toots are appriecated.

"OK, that's a cat. Now, how do we get it out of the box?"

Amtrak commuter train derailment, WA, near Olympia/Tacoma
Spouse told me about this when he got home, was surprised I hadn't heard. surprisingly few fatalities, though a lot of injuries. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amtrak-derailment-train-crashes-near-tacoma-washington-n830751
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Mastodon discussions. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the discussions will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Gargron’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths

There was an otter in the river at the doggy park today! :O It was disturbed by a labrador that was playing in the water so it was swimming around hissing at the lab XD

Anyone want to watch a neural network fall flat on its face trying to make knitting patterns?
I just started a new project crowdsourcing knitting patterns. Once I have enough, I'll train a neural net and post the results to a Ravelry thread, asking for opinions on the neural net's progress.
