I kind of want .social to close for new accounts at 100,000. I'm more & more concerned that the task of moderating & nurturing a meaningful community within the instance will become far too large for the resources of our tiny, basically volunteer team. :S

Researchers found a frilled shark - normally found 100-1500m deep - swimming in shallow water of the coast of Portugal. Frilled sharks are cool because they've remained essentially identical for about 80 million years. They're so perfectly adapted to their environment that they haven't needed to change. :weirdfish:

It just occurred to me that we have the technical infrastructure for none pizza with left beef but yet somehow people are still going yeah no we can't add "other" to the gender dropdown.

Conjecture: Mario is the Nintendo character least capable of being used to make interesting narrative or artistic statements.

Has anyone actually written about the semiotic significance of Glow in postfurry?

Monsterhearts: violence, sex 

Setup: me and two freinds feign emotional distress to get into the guidance counselor's office with the intent of stealing something.

End result: the vampire physically attacks then feeds on the counselor, I run out screaming, and then the vampire and the witch bang each other on his desk.

...well, that certainly escalated in an unexpected way.

I love this game.
