The Snoot BBQ

"We never saw any of this ADHD or autism stuff when I was young!"

You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time

101,525 people joined Mastodon in the past 24 hours.

To put that in context, 84,657 people joined Mastodon in the previous 6 days.

Twitter’s new “temporary” rate limit on reading tweets has caused a significant increase in Mastodon's popularity and user base.

Lest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.

Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person.

...but wait! It's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

Through no one's fault other than my own I have FIVE credits on my Audible account.
Any recommendations?
I have the entire Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams cannon already and various auto biographies.

Twitter folks, there is a way to make Mastodon feel like home more UI wise: #MastodonBirdUI, an interface that resembles the Twitter UI.

Many instances support Mastodon Bird UI (like mstdn.social under the theme "Elephant" in your settings) and you can also use it via browser extension.

@ablackcatstail @davidaugust @Catawu I would say it’s time for U.S. federal agencies to join the #fediverse. My feeling is that people shouldn’t need to rely on third-party commercial social services to easily access important government information. Disclaimer: I work for NOAA, the agency that encompasses the National Weather Service, the National Ocean Service, Fisheries, Research, Satellites... I should add that “opinions are my own.”
Spending Sunday making a lamb tagine and hopefully getting some writing done for the first time in a long time.

Welp, I can't like, comment, post, or DM on the old site. So, please know if you see me silent, I'm okay. I've just been silenced by the free speech police.

Happy to be on a multitude of alternatives with you lovely people!
