@HistoPol I had an inkling! (Can't imagine seeing Lucy Ball in something & not remembering she was in it...)

Could have sworn there was a Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn flick that had a similar plot, but a quick IMDB search didn't turn up anything for either... (I also checked all of the likely suspects I could think of for romantic comedies of the 50s - no joy there, either)

@HistoPol Not B&W, but this is what immediately came to mind for me...

@mmasnick.bsky.social Well, on the bright side, it looks like the bridge works? So that's nice?

@maskedscheduler I reckon you're probably right; what worries is what he'll bargain away to do so

Honest ? for y'all:
the #Playdate - worth it? A couple of bills seems like a lot for a novelty knickknack; are the games actually, y'know, fun?

@pantransautie @Taweret I've come up w a new strategy - next time, I'm picking the 2nd most Star Wars sounding one

"If you want to mainly have one-directional traffic..."

I think this is maybe where this conversation started to go sideways - best as I can figure, nobody's asking for that, at least not that I can see in this thread

I'm certainly not asking for that!

A lot of people have tried the fediverse, found they didn't like the experience and left; many more have been here for a while, but contemplate leaving

I think it's worth asking why?

@moira @TechConnectify @feditips Great post - I've been thinking about this a bunch lately, specifically, how does one recreate a "quality filter" in an algorithm-free timeline, where all toots are created equal?

My first thought is a reddit-like up/down vote system, but that feels like it would go against the 'democratic' ethos of Mastodon, so I don't know...

@feditips @vernissage
So! @jbouie !
This might be relevant to your interests!

@breadbin @inthehands @conniptions @mekkaokereke The tragedy of it is, it doesn't have to be like this!

First of all, the Loudness War was won, decisively, by Prince, in 1995, when he was then the Artist Formerly Known As Prince, and he released The Gold Experience. Still the "loudest", and best orchestrated, best mixed, best mastered, recording that I own. (SRSLY! Listen to it side-by-side w/, say, Paranoid, by Black Sabbath. Man knew what he was doing.)

@futurebird I like it! One ? tho': what do we do about the international date line?

@maskedscheduler Sleep
