That's certainly a take.

[Something to the effect of "how do you think you GET to be one of the richest people in the world?"]

"Yes, I know I'm not meeting your needs and I'm never going to."

@freemo The right question is "how can I escape from your newsletter?"

HA you thought my victimhood was opt-in?

I feel personally harmed by whatever you are or aren't doing right now, and I'm working on my medium.com post about just what it is that you and everybody else in the world owes me because of it.

@voidabyss @rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo I instigated them all personally by wearing a provocative t-shirt.

@trinsec Hey, don't go being reasonable when I'm being self-indulgent and demanding. I just want a camera mounted on the prow of every train on earth so I can view the live feed. Also every streetcar on Market Street in SF. And please fit the horse-drawn trolleys from around 1898 with time-vortex routers so I can view them "live" too.

Is there some reason why I can't immediately view a live video feed from any train anywhere in the world whenever I want to? Who do I complain to about this?

Is it weird that I'm all schadenfreudey about every story where Elon's going to make Twitter worse?

@freemo @trinsec Looking for opinions and votes of confidence, curious about what people have found. Interested in the other sciences outside tech, plus history, art, public policy, etc. Thought I'd see what sort of replies came back.

I live in Portland, OR. Whenever I talk to my mum in New England she asks me about the terrible riots and murder-death-kill happening all around me. I tell her it's one side of one block in downtown, one night a week, when both the Patriot Prayer MAGAs and the news cameras show up at the same time, and hasn't happened at all for like a couple of years. Finally she gets frustrated with me and says "you're the only person I know who says that." I reply, "I'm the only person you know who lives here."

@rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo my city once totally asploded because of lack of nuance. You need 50mg nuance/day really if you don't want your city to asplode and catch fire and be all librul

Does anyone know of a well-maintained, knowledge-focused Mastodon instance, large enough to have interesting local content? Say, 20,000-50,000 users?

@aijustice @darnell @sundogplanets

"our anti-capitalism rants are starting to sound desperate"

Who are you speaking for when you say "our"?

The neighbor's cat is meowing plaintively at the door. Should I let him in?

You madman

@lauren @AustinB @TamarYellin My first real job out of university: developing a remote monitoring and billing system for video game console leasing companies (think Pac Man, Space Invaders). They gave me a Prime One that they'd got in an acquisition and expected me to use it. I quietly developed it on a Northstar Horizon instead. When I demoed it I had the Prime spinning its magtapes demonstratively while the Northstar did the actual work.

@lauren @AustinB @TamarYellin Ah yes, the old S-100 bus system with dual 8" floppies and a Z80 CPU. But the big question is: MP/M or TurboDos?

Is it weird that when I see the word "outrage" I want to pronounce it "oo tra zhay"?

The flat earthers never tell you what the underside of the world is. It's basically cardboard and duct tape. Larry Niven called the same stuff "scrith" in the Ringworld books, but nobody was fooled.
