@autolycos I think I saw the Space Dingoes play Lollapalooza in 97.

@autolycos Sadly, I lost it at a rest stop outside of Cincinnati. It's still something of a sore spot with me, if I'm honest.

As of today, I've been on #Mastodon for a year and my skin is clearer, my IQ is 10 points higher, and my coat has a lustrous sheen.

I think I figured out where we should build the wall, y'all.

The takeaway isn't "haha, the richboys died."

The takeaway is that #OceanGate was operating with the same absence of regulation and oversight larger corporations are currently advocating for themselves worldwide.
