It's 2023. "Gosh, we didn't realize how people would misuse this" just isn't believable anymore.

Bare minimum, with any new tech:
1) How would a stalker use this?
2) What will 4chan do with this?

And don't release, not even as alpha or beta, before mitigating those risks.

Ever worry that your "how the fuck do I get out of this conversation" face looks like a "how the fuck do I get out of this conversation" face?

My mother-in-law doesn't drink but she inspires it in other people.

Almost time for my tradition of ruining Valentine’s for a lot of people by booking a table for one so I can sob loudly over a meal I won’t eat while sitting across from an urn of ashes.

One thing I'm absolutely loving about Mastodon is the incredible, niche communities I'm discovering via hashtags.

Here are some that I'm loving:

#RomanFortThursday
#Caturday (okay not niche, but you know...cats)
#Mosstodon
#Astrodon
#MedievalMastodon and #Medievaldons
#IlluminatedManuscript

Goes without saying #bookstodon is a must.

Got anymore - share them below! I'm collecting inspiration. 🤗

Me: I want to think of a funny joke.

Me: No, everyone makes that joke.

Brain: I'd like to purchase the beyond lol

Curious to know if folks are thinking about helium, and how we'll get it after we've shut-in our natural gas problem.

Stipulated: Fossil natural gas must end, soonest.

Problem: All of our helium comes as a by-product of fossil natural gas production.

Further Problem: A tremendous amount of natural gas must be passed by the helium separation step in order to park at "chronic shortage."

With all of that, economically speaking helium is headed for "none."

How much does it matter?

Tom Brady's annual retirement announcement seems early this year... does that mean 6 more weeks of winter?

A baker’s dozen of bad puns in the picture; @Ten will probably appreciate these!

I also found a “print” version online that includes the missing pun:

“It’s hard to beat a boiled egg in the morning.”

This is an *actual* #meme, if it inspires people to imitate the behavior by putting up physical posters of “tearable puns”.
