people are dismissively joking that Mastodon is some ultra-complex shit, as if dot-replies or a lot of other old twitter UX were in any way obvious.

extremely tired of folks on bird site who don't use mastodon opining about presumed failures of federation.

Shout-out to that girl at a club a year ago or whatever that was just carrying a pineapple like it was a totally normal thing to have in a club.

Oh, according to their documentation, "recently" is up to three days ago.

...I wouldn't call that recent, in terms of whether someone is accessible or not.

I really have no idea how to interpret the "last seen recently" Telegram status notification. Does that mean five minutes ago? Within 12 hours ago? I haven't a clue.

... I have no idea why that link isn't linking. Sorry :(

You can also just do a search for "burrito tunnel".

Charming documents from an alternate reality:

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel

idlewords.com/2007/04/the_alameda_weehawken_burrito_tunnel.htm

ever since i learned that radio producers forced evanescence to include male vocals in Bring Me To Life to make it more heterosexually appealing i'm suspicious of anything that includes mixed gender vocals for no clear reason (excluding bands with more than one gender in its regular members obvs)

that Palo Santo song is about two gay men and the band is all male, but there are female background vocals scattered in the bg and hmmmMMMM

Mastodon: It’s basically twitter but you have to pick a server when you sign up

Twitter: lol ok Alan Turing I’ll keep to my cruise missile brands saying ‘bae’ thank you very much

In 1950, Simon & Schuster published a new children’s book, "Dr. Dan the Bandage Man". Publisher Richard Simon decided to include a few bandages with each copy as a publicity gimmick. He wired a friend at Johnson & Johnson:

PLEASE SHIP TWO MILLION BAND-AIDS IMMEDIATELY.

The friend wired back:

BAND-AIDS ON THE WAY. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?

I am SO PROUD of their generation. they've *finally* developed music that is completely incomprehensible to me! <333 kids these days and their darned weird music!!

I went to a different pet store than my usual place this afternoon for cat treats. the person behind the counter looked to me like they were barely out of high school, and were playing what I can only assume is "music" consisting of what sounded to me like a series of nonsequential electronic test beeps. at first I thought something was malfunctioning, until it briefly played a melody--then went back to random beeping.

HOW TO USE MASTODON, AN EASY GUIDE:
1. see something nice when going about your day
2. write about it
3. revel in the fact that we are all just people
4. give emotional support and validation to others who write about that nice thing they saw today

"but how do I build my brand?"
friend
you do not have to build your brand
you are free

I'm a crafty fox in two different senses of the word, and that makes me happy :)
