Minnesotan. Probably too old for you. Classic film, #NoirAlley, bourbon, #Skol. We Got The Beat is my walk-up song. Personal account only, opinions mine only.
I read this as Double Free Gluten Stuf, and that's pretty much what is wrong with me.
Boss: you’re late
Me: *grabs his coffee* thanks, though it’s pronounced ‘latte’

Is it weird that I wept while watching a documentary about automats?

#LisaHurwitz's lyrical and nostalgic #TheAutomat (2021) is streaming on the Watch TCM app.

If you're like me, it will make you wish you had been born decades earlier.

My 15 year old just said, “those olds are so cute”.. Gentle reader, she was looking at Neil Giraldo and Pat Benatar. And now my feet are dangling because the floor dropped away and I’m here, mouth agape, dealing with time’s nonlinear flow. And these punkass kids.

I should have eaten dinner before watching The Automat.
I want everything I see behind the little windows.

It didn't matter who you were or where you came from, the Automat was for everybody. #TheAutomat #TCMParty
@66Betty same here. also there's one at the Smithsonian, which we went to a lot when we were kids. always wished they actually used it to serve food.
How did any of us who didn't experience the Automat hear about it? For me, references to the Automat cropped up in books I read as a child. #TCMParty
Smokey Bear put a lot of pressure on me as a child, “only YOU can prevent forest fires,” like, dude, I’m going to be so busy preventing fires

If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:

 Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab

  iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!

💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website

Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!

(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)
