#picotron playground -- coming soon for web!

Just a heads-up for everyone, the amnesty window on Italian impressions begins on January 1, pursuant to the “it’s okay to do an Italian accent as a joke” deprecation period officially ending on December 31, 2022. (There will be no further extensions.) Pursuant to the agreement, 🤌 is limited in use through July 1, and limited license for “it’sa me” will only be granted 2 weeks prior, and 1 week after, the release of the Super Mario Movie. And as always, fuck Christopher Columbus.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.

When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.

I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

I DON'T WANT SELF DRIVING CARS!!!!

✔️ I want boring things like public transit that comes so regularly I don't need to check a schedule.

✔️ I want fast passenger rail so accessible and easy it's preferable to suffering airports.

✔️ I want cities that aren't built around cars-as-default

✔️ I want the country to own it.

Who'd have thought the winning tweet of the year would be such a late entry?!

how many times am I going to have to prove I'm not a robot? I wonder if there's a way to automate it

@Quinnypig I’m all in on 1password’s managed service. I’ve traded my soul for a pretty decent UX (for a password manager). If they go down, I’ll just give up on ever using passwords and go live on a turnip farm.

I think the hard drive I'm using might be failing.
I'd check the SMART info but I think it's too old for that.
probably not a good sign

Actual conversation I had…

Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.

I’m surprised how calm I kept myself as the gentleman cut away the old frame and used a razor blade to scrape the masking tape off of a 45 year-old piece of tracing paper.

When I first showed it to him, he asked, “is that from #Alien!?” I was honestly caught off guard: I thought this was about as deep a cut as someone could make, but a stranger got it in one.

I ultimately went with a reddish gold shadow box with the artifact floating slightly over a light cream matte.

Exiting, the gentlemen who’d helped me told me, “one of the joys in this business is when something like this comes through—getting to see this up close makes my December.”

Nicely played. 😘

People posting things they're working on professionally or personally is *literally why I'm here*.

I would love nothing more than a feed full of smart people absolutely nerding out on shit they're into.

Apparently there are people out there who think it's inappropriate to use Mastodon to talk about books you've written or promote projects you've worked on because it's marketing and self-promotion?

I am not one of those people. I implore you to write about the work you have done and the things you have made - I want to hear about that stuff!
