@mattjhodgkinson @catsalad dang it, I wanted to make that joke first! 🤣

@ramsey @futurebird thanks! I wrote an email. In the hands of fate now...

Is anyone on Fedi connected with Leah Stokes on BlueSky? I was hoping that she would use Bridgy Fed...

I Tried messaging Leah Stokes on Instagram and I hit "enter" too soon. You can only send one message to non-peers on IG.

@h You should be getting a bug bonus! 😂

@mike This was hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Say the word "toggle" enough and you'll realize, wow, that's a wierd word.

@seachanger The more time goes on, the more I appreciate Sanders. The proposals he lays out are just common sense.

“We may stand, if only on one leg, or at least be left still upon our knees.’

‘Rightly said!’ cried Beregond, rising and striding to and fro. ‘Nay, though all things must come utterly to an end in time, Gondor shall not perish yet.”

“Come, come!’ said Gandalf. ‘We are all friends here. Or should be; for the laughter of Mordor will be our only reward, if we quarrel.”

@frankie ah. Amazon Music sells DRM free mp3s too.

@frankie big fan of bandcamp for getting DRM-less mp3s!
