Happy #Caturday! Lockwood is conducting an experiment. He wants to see how much of my desk he can occupy at one time, without actually having to get up.

Stop bombing schools
Stop bombing hospitals
Stop bombing homes
Stop bombing children

Stop bombing.

Happy Caturday! Lockwood says I need to go outside and touch some grass, but he'll be happy to keep my chair warm for me. #caturday #catsOfMastodon

I find particularly curious that the call "let's free technology" comes from the same person who wrote that "information doesn't want to be free", arguing exactly that 'wants' and 'freedom' are a human thing, and 'information' isn't a being, therefore it cannot want anything and has no concept of 'freedom'

Happy #Caturday! Lockwood is concerned that the party hasn't started yet. #caturday #catsOfMastodon
Is is just me, or am I seeing an awful lot of posts on Mastodon lately that are nothing more than thinly-disguised ads selling products or services?
