If you don't pay your time bill, you will be stuck in 2025.

@raccoon With all due respect... it could be ANYTHING.

I found that about 70 people blocked me on BlueSky because I was on a list of having interacted with a right-wing asshole. (I yelled at him.)

shrug People block me for good reasons. People block me for bad reasons. They're allowed.

The longer I live, the more weird I'm convinced that I am.

I finally met up with an old friend who lives in Los Angeles, but we haven't had a chance to meet.

I discovered that he works about four blocks from where I live.

Now, I live in a wildly diverse neighborhood with restaurants, taco trucks, and sidewalk tacos. (Sidewalk tacos are for when taco trucks are too fancy.)

His favorite place to eat in the area?

Taco Bell.

Next time we meet, I am thinking about walking him from where he works to the perpetually-parked taco truck area, asking him how much he usually spends at Taco Bell, and showing him that he can eat well for about the same price.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggghhh!

@tango Taco trucks are a little more expensive than Taco Bell.

But street tacos are about the same price as Taco Bell. And better tasting.

I make popcorn as a snack in the afternoon. I tend to mix spices to make it more interesting.

I added onion, paprika, a little salt, and butter today. Only when I made that mix did I realize...

I had created popcorn paprikash.

Yes, it's my #birthday!

I am lonely in #LosAngeles. I meet with the Learn, Teach, Code group every week, but I would like to expand my physical social circles.

Do you know good groups in Los Angeles where a nerd can hang out with other good nerds? I would strongly rather not drive; I would prefer if I could use public transit to get there.

Thanks!

@vtbee80 Seattle folk LOVE eating whole bags of dicks.

I'm in West Adams in Los Ángeles. It's an area where no one will speak English with you. Spanish or nothing.

It would terrify Trump.

I'm here to get an omelete con mariscos (seafood omelet) from Mariscos Maria's, a place I've seen a few times but I never ate at.

There is not much that I can do about ICE, but I can and do support Mexican-owned businesses.

The breakfast plate is huge, and it's half-covered by an omelet.

I don't think I will be hungry for a long time.

I had my COVID and flu shots yesterday.

Today, as often happens when I get my COVID shots, I'm dizzy and mildly nauseous.

Not fun. I have chicken soup, and I've been keeping quiet today.

I'm sorry that I'm not getting out at all this weekend.

A Brit was trying to explain the concept of "freedom of speech" to an American.

"You see, even in London, I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' and no one can arrest me.

"Oh," said the American. "Then we must already have that here. I can shout 'Keir Starmer sucks!' in the United States, too!"

I am on a very crowded bus.

I was pressed against a very white, older man.

I'm wearing a shirt with characters from Helluva Boss.(I'm off to see Hazbin Hotel.)

He stared. Hard. In a Southern accent, he said, "Is that some kind of OCCULT symbol?"

I just grinned at him.

He got off at the next stop.

I can't believe that I'm still freaking the mundanes.

@dlakelan The ORIGINAL series of "Don't Create The torment Nexus".

Try this out on the next grapefruit you see:

Draw a circle around the equator of your grapefruit.

Draw a line from the equator to the north pole of your grapefruit.

Make a right angle at the north pole, then draw that line down to the equator. You will have a triangle covering 1/8 of the grapefruit.

Every angle of the filled-in triangle is a right angle.

Every right angle has 90 degrees, so that triangle has 270 degrees inside of it.

(This works because it's on a sphere, not on a plane.)

If you're a fan of Hazbin Hotel...

There will be a sing-along of the first four episodes on October First!

I will be at the screening at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles at 7;30pm.

See you there!

I will follow the idea of @alina --

Give me any California stereotype and I'll tell you whether it's NorCal, SoCal, both, or neither.

This is the completely unofficial Mastodon Cat Verification Service.

If you have or are a cat, please verify by posting photos.

Failure to do so will have no effect on your Mastodon service. I just want to see photos of cats.

@Amyuhn
Pretty!

@hellomiakoda
Those were the mini-blåhaj. The full sized ones were $20.

The most important part of any Ikea!

For the furries out there: What genders do we associate with animals?

Bears will be boys
