@MastodonEngineering Oh no.

@lxo @pluralistic You'll know the word has really taken hold when translation software turns the Portuguese back into "enshittification."

@Gargron How much harassment from Threads users will be tolerated before the instance is blocked? Do you have a cutoff?

It never took off like "enshittify," but I'm fond of another coinage by @pluralistic, "Zuckervegan."

@nancycomics see above, @pluralistic

@nocontexttrek The sci-fi version of Billy Bass.

@pluralistic I want to see this as your author photo on your next book.

New-to-me #ThemePark #streaming #radio station: Europa-Park Radio.

Broadcasts from Studio78 in the area of the park themed to 1920s France. (The park itself is in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.)

So far, it's pretty bland pop, mostly in English.

@luckytran I agree with AOC. Stein has done nothing to help downticket Greens in either midterms or presidential election years. She hasn't helped one Green candidate become so much as dog-catcher. She just runs for president every four years, and does fuck all else.

Sure looks like grift to me!

@glynmoody He also plans to appoint his horse Incitatus as a consul.

I guess I'm a one-issue voter now, since I'm only voting for #Harris so you can continue to protest about #Palestine without going to prison.

Shit.

It's Spring, which is a terrible time for me due to my gamboling addiction.

Watched "Gojira" last night, which I had never seen, and it was great horror melodrama. Watched the Americanized version "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" with the commentary track today, and it was simultaneously great AND terrible because Raymond Burr only gives a shit in about 40% of his scenes.
