@nora if only i had some way to represent my growing love for graphs over time

@jerry yahoo finance is reporting that now. gee whiz, i wonder what insider traders were poised to take advantage of this surprise development

@rgb i wonder what realistic numbers would be? 5-10 years, however many $ billions, and a switch would cost $2,000, etc.

@bagder gimmie a weekend and a case of Bawls /s

Something I hate? Seeing a bumper sticker about some innocuous-sounding thing like "I support Tammy's Law" and needing to look it up in case it says shit like "trans people aren't allowed to have jobs"

idea: if you idle on mastodon for a few minutes, the timeline is replaced with a screensaver of the bouncing mastodon logo

@Albatrossity is that the bird from Flow

Apparently I missed a whole-ass TV show between Daredevil season 2 and season 3. That "Next Episode" button was not very helpful

@wearealldei thank you for the "fact check"

The greatest trick modern "software engineers" ever pulled was getting "engineer" in their title.

Imagine if a civil engineer building bridges had the mantra "move fast and break things" https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina/114292888671277361

#UnlimitedMovies 9/? A Minecraft Movie (2025)

Silly fan service. I laughed out loud more than once. Not much substance but I haven't seen a packed house audience so excited for a film, maybe ever? Tons of kids and teens yelling out their fave lines. Maybe go during a school day if that's not your jam. :)

#UnlimitedMovies 8/? Flow (2024)

Touching and nice to look at. Good to see a film go off the beaten path and find success. This one is interesting in comparison to The Wild Robot (upthread), which I'd still like to see as a dialogue-less cut.

@TodePond hi lu. cool ceiling

@CuteFunnyAnimals me trying to unsee this image:

@jovialthunder Better or worse that the Wikimedia subject line "Annika, you've always been the key"?

Happy 8th birthday to xoxo.zone

Preonic keyboard Kickstarter update today. "If we're shipping your order to the US, there is a very good chance that you’ll owe an additional 54% in duty due to the government's new policies." The US really does love to fuck around and find out.
