Oh HELL yeah. Way better communication of emotional tone than text captions alone.

@hacks4pancakes If we bomb just a little harder, then we will win the hearts and minds!

Not quite the same circumstance, but I am reminded that I am delighted that nearly all of my USENET writings have passed beyond the event horizon into the unknown.

Happy “Large boulder the size of a small boulder” day to all who celebrate.

Hey local-to-me nerds! We have one - possibly two - tickets for “Fun Home” (the Alison Bechdel musical) on 12/4 at the Huntington theatre. Orchestra row J.
Ticket was $135 ($150 incl tax/fees) and I'd like to get most/all of that but it's not a dealbreaker.
Please let me know if you’re interested.

ACTIVE meowing may confuse people who expect it to be the same as ESTABLISHED meowing. But just because the meowing state is ACTIVE doesn’t mean the meowing is actually being exchanged.

Happy “circulatory system walking through the kitchen” day to those who celebrate.

Okay some shit has gone down near Norwich, CT. Air-raid sounding alarm and all. #norwichct

@wendynather Interesting. I had a bunch of knee-jerk "no, that's not accurate" reactions, but whether or not that's accurate on my part, it doesn't matter if this is that guy's experience and what he's been seeing.

I think guys are absolutely being shafted by this culture - I think top of the heap is ways that men are taught that anger is the only acceptable emotion to express and the lack of opportunity for boys/young men to learn more/better conflict resolution stuff.

And unfortunately, the men's groups most loudly talking about the ways things are difficult for men (MRA etc) tend towards the incredibly toxic.

I haven’t been in Seattle in over a decade and wow downtown has certainly changed. I like the new convention center summit building. In particular the big airy huge wooden staircase with glass walls. I really really want to see someone film a big fight scene there.

@kims no sparkling water?! This is some wtf level of drug cautions. (I thought mineral water was usually a subset of sparkling water?)

ANCIENT NET HISTORY QUESTION!
Okay, fellow old-timer internet folks, @clauclauclaudia and I were talking about ancient USENET stuff and cannot remember if "really early USENET communication between Australia and other places was done via shipping hard drives on Qantas" or not. I know there were times when USENET used shipped hard drives rather than UUCP or whatever, but we couldn't remember if it was standard operating procedure or what.

Truth.

@adamhotep @ryanc Huh. Looks like I may need different encodings or terminal settings or something to view this correctly.
