@CyberLeech @Natasha_Jay YES.

@AndrewRadev I honestly just double-checked that it is not April 1st.

This is me thinking about how *public* discourse could be better. I'm not trying to discourage you from telling your friends every weird fact you know about foot health or water management or that one time you met Blake Lively, etc.

I feel like there should be a little orientation for commenting on current/tragic events. Like would you want someone to yell about architectural tropes or share a niche fact about foot health every time you stub your toe? Maybe take a second and think about who is being affected or harmed the most in a current event and then ask yourself if it's time to share the one thing you know about this topic (or worse) hijack the topic to something you just like talking about.

@flowerpot @errant @nullagent Not sure what it says about our national character that we keep hiring professional liars to run things...

@errant @flowerpot @nullagent Sadly, we've been making that mistake in the US since Reagan.

@cwebber Oof, I'm sorry that's happening.

@JessTheUnstill And it is often very off-putting for other participants to give time and space to someone who just "has an opinion" right next to someone who is talking about their actual lived experience or the subject of their PHD/life's work, etc.

@fatsam I would happily take a bath with a donut on this future Thousand Unwise Billionaires (TUB) holiday

@troglodyt @BernardSheppard @fnordius @mike @NanoRaptor I'm referring to another person's thoughts on the topic in a science fiction story. Perhaps that word should've been in quotes to make that extra clear.

@BernardSheppard @fnordius @mike @NanoRaptor Stand on Zanzibar is a real trip into what at least one writer thought the future would look like, especially the worries about overpopulation and corporate power.

@sethmlarson Plus y'all are still basically newly weds!

@sethmlarson It seems a little extra weird in this era of social media when you can just look? Or text and ask? (This is not an elderly and/or techphobic family member.)

It is a little unseemly to complain about receiving a holiday card from someone and yet, I really wish this one family member would "remember" that I did not change my last name when I got married (over a decade ago. ) There is no person living here with my first name and my partner's last name. The only other entities that send mail to this imaginary person are spam.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for the Vittorio Farina Pocket Square. A recent study of women found the top three most attractive qualities in a man are:
3. A kind heart.
2. A good sense of humor.
1. Him owning a fancy purple pocket square.

@2something I think e bs ds would sound kind of like pss pss which people use to get cats to come to them.

@2something When you say the last one out loud, I hope you get a CAT.

@UncleDuke1969 I'm assuming my Great Danish would be welcome.

@Moss Oh! There's another entity with this name. I definitely just mean a bunch of non-secret folks snapping tongs together and maybe pondering what it would be like to be a crab.

Would an all tongs band be great or super annoying? Probably only one way to find out.

(This thought is brought to you by coffee and toast tongs)
