The Bluesky hate I see on here amuses me.

Like it or not, it's easier for the users to find people than this place, and you don't have to find a decent instance to make it better. They've established a culture that blocks assholes before they can even get started.

Yes, the crypto money behind it will probably destroy it in the long run. Maybe by then the Fediverse will face up to the reasons it's not a solution for everyone, and either address them or accept that it's always going to be a niche product. (Nothing wrong with that, but I sure see a lot of people who claim to want it to get bigger.)

Rocktober tonight is one of those ridiculously amazing great songs from my youth. Yazoo/Yaz (for us Americans), "Nobody's Diary"

(Seriously. We didn't realize that we were literally drowning in fucking amazing music in the early 80s.)

Doing that picture-on-picture thing again.

FWIW, Chiefs fans don't like Collinsworth. I'm not sure anyone likes him.

Winning by half a toe is still winning.

My wife just agreed with my Copa-long "whoever is dressing Carli Lloyd isn't doing her any favors" take.

So I feel a little less like a caveman now.

Didn't have any weed on 4/20, but I did have a pizza, so I'm with you in spirit.

Someday, the 4:59 Friday info dump will be "Yeah, Aliens are real, and they'll be here Tuesday."

That will be one hell of a weekend.

The fork we swiped from Rainforest Cafe, then put in my MIL's silverware drawer because a single mismatched fork would drive her up the wall.

And it did.

I'm so old and out of touch that I have no idea why Stanley insulated mugs are suddenly such a big damn deal.

Seriously, WTF??

My 2024 Mastodon Resolution: If all you're bringing to the table is gloom and doom, you're getting muted.

I didn't buy a single cyber today.

My screen names could be a lot funnier if I had more characters to work with.

I found a couple of these in the drawer of an old table that was passed down by the in-laws. My family wasn't rich enough for those, so I was the remote control in the 70s.
