CAT: Mrow?
ME: No, apparently you've had dinner
CAT: Mrow
ME: Yes it does count
CAT: Mrooow

CAT: Mrow
ME: No. Don't try that "Theseus' Paradox" shit with me. I have a philosophy degree.

The adorable Venezuelan poodle moth was discovered and photographed in 2009 by Dr. Arthur Anker. It’s supposedly the only sighting of this critter, but insects are small and Earth is big. #nature #photography #SharedPlanet

I do not know where autocorrect got the idea I am more likely to be typing “bud” than “bus,” but I will break it of this impression of me if it is the last thing I do. (Even if that impression is probably more fun.)

Made an iOS Shortcut to let you follow someone from a different Mastodon instance without the copy/paste hoop-jumping.

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e109c8e6b8c0420c902134049b13c064

Once added to your Shortcuts app, you can share a Profile (or webpage or text that contains a profile link or username) to this Shortcut to be taken to the Follow confirmation page without ever copying or pasting anything.

Let me know if you find it helpful or run into any issues.

The cool Fedifinder Twitter-to-Mastodon follower tool got a UI facelift, and is now even easier to use. Thanks for the effort, @Luca

It's at https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ and helps you find people you liked following on Twitter, and that have moved to Mastodon

When people travel to the past, they worry about radically changing the present by doing something small.

Few people think that they can radically change the future by doing something small in the present.

This is the only real time travel paradox.
