yes i do spend a lot of my time thinking about She-Ra and queer fanfic and YouTube videos of people playing video games but occasionally i start thinking about stuff like the ontology of probability claims and i'm genuinely startled to remember that i'm a grown-up w a PhD and shit

Pheer my ossum hand-coded (and fully validating) HTML 5 / CSS skillz!

(Yeah, this was mostly in case the birdsite thoroughly blocks outbound links to both the fediverse and linktree, but it was also fun once I started playing with it.)

Blocked the entire noagendasocial.com server. Many servers, and I suspect many people, already do; it's on various lists, with good reason. Some gross stuff there; WASP-supremacy, etc.

(Confusingly it really is noagendasocial.com, not noagenda.social. Looks like the latter used to exist? Maybe they changed because they were too defederated under the old hostname.)

It'd be useful for someone to put together a checklist for journalists to prepare for the inevitable banning: download archive, delete DMs and phone number, update Masto follows... What else? @dangillmor

Just for fun. A watercolor that never got posted on my other accounts. #MastoArt #watercolor #steampunk

This is by no means an original point, but I wanted to clarify my own thoughts on fuzzy, multiple meanings of “AI”.

The hype bois keep pointing at it as if it’s a stable and shared concept. Rather than a vague gesture at ill-defined and contested futures. maggieappleton.com/ai-empty-po

MUST BE THE SEASON OF THE WITCH

Twitter has now reached whole new levels of pathetic, by explicitly prohibiting any "content that contains links or usernames" for Mastodon (and others, including Facebook and even Post).

I mean, my God! I'm becoming convinced that Musk has somehow shorted his own stock, and is now actively trying to destroy the platform.

The policy even supposedly forbids Linktree links, although I successfully posted mine. Probably the announcement just got deployed slightly ahead of the filter updates.

Books! 

Absolutely loving every paragraph of Oliver Darkshire's "Once Upon a Tome", about the wonders and mysteries of Sotheran's and bookselling in general.

(I haven't found them on Mastodon yet, so I crept into Twitter to ask / urge them about being here.)

Now I want to write a simple game where you wander through endless cellars and staircases and mysterious alcoves in search of a particular book.

(I have wanted to write similar games in the past, and as far as I can recall never got there.)

#JohnMastodon was the first Director of Photography on #Goncharov. Scorsese fired him when he realized Mastodon had surreptitiously shot a Christmas scene with a second unit crew that was not in the original script. These stills are all that remains of that footage.

WTF? #JohnMastodon is taking over #tumblr? That's part of the settlement in court due to the #goncharov legal battle. US courts are weird.
#Scorsese suggested that. #tumblr #takeover by #FriendsOfJohn #crowdfunding.

The #Mastodon and #Tumblr federation has begun!

pierres@ioc.exchange - Fun fact: John Mastodon had a brief cameo in the 1973 mafia movie Goncharov. #johnmastodon #goncharov

But here's the big question...does anyone know what role #JohnMastodon had in the production of #Goncharov?

@torstenkathke

Yes, Cybil Sheperd is awesome here! And that last look she gives Sofia....

Though I've always had a soft spot for Harvey Keitel and he really has me swinging between loving, pitying and hating Andrey!

Also, I'm pretty certain the scene where Keanu Reeves suits up in John Wick is an homage to the "Dressing for Dinner" scene in #Goncharov. ^_^

@Lazarou @stavvers also feel the need to applaud Tumblr creating a movie from fan fiction and sheer wacky charm just as everyone was just checking back in to see if it was worth going there either.

can I just say a big thank you to everyone involved in making #JohnMastodon happen at right around the time that journalists were trying to settle in here and try to carve the space into being a place for them to broadcast. doing the lord's work keeping the fediverse weird

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.
