@verge Oh, the irony.
The earliest known carol singers are depicted on the Bayeaux Tapestry. They were a group of soldiers from Western France seen here serenading the king. They were known as the Brittany Spears.

If you see this toot (yeah this one right here), can you boost it for me? It will help my new server federate with the wider Mastodon network. 🚀 🙏

Thanks to anyone who can do this. It is really appreciated! This server is small but will be hosting several #peace #SocialJustice and #Humanistic groups, so it is for a good cause.

Hello everyone! 👋 We've joined the fediverse as part of an experiment with our friends from BBC Research & Development. Read more about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub

In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that’s not a sign of hope, nothing is.

I highly recommend Dwarf Fortress. The Steam release makes it so accessible, but what' cool is that it still astonishingly deep and complex. I don't mean that you'd be surprised how complicated and obtuse some aspects of Dwarf Fortress can be. It's more that by Steamifying this game with great graphics and menus, you realize that its lore goes far beyond its original-- crushingly hard-to-master--ASCII interface.

What's most compelling is how it creates rich and surprising narratives and tricks your imagination into doing some of the heavy lifting for the game to be so addictive. Such great storytelling -- some of the best stories I've ever encountered in gaming. And it's procedurally generated. It's really a work of art. Hilarious, sad, poignant, endearing, and sometimes, very, very bloody.
