One of my favorite songs from the 90s hands down.

Louis is still the best.

This made me laugh.

Missed the game, but glad it looks like it was an easy win.

It’s a shame she’s become some trad wife devout Christian now and is apparently MAGA adjacent if not MAGA herself. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fans-outraged-over-gwen-stefani-235134972.html

I have a good friend that I have ALMOST convinced to join Mastodon. He’s considering a username still, but I keep hounding him to make his account. Despite being politically / socially left, he’s generally not got the strong feelings I have toward the pros of a decentralized social media platform. I seemingly convinced him that simply it’s different / interesting you’ll see stuff you won’t generally see on mainstream social media, and you control what you see AND it’s not ever going to have ads or be corporate-run. But I still think he’s not necessarily sold on the idea. This is my very close friend. As for people I am more casually acquainted with? I don’t think I’ll ever get anyone else to join. As someone else in the comments said, essentially, “who cares? This isn’t for those people”, to which I largely agree. I think people need to come to the fediverse on their own accord or will forever feel like it’s just some aggro tech bro space. My aforementioned friend who I describe above for what it’s worth was adamant that Mastodon is “for right wingers”. I had to politely insist while I’m sure there are far right instances, these are not what I’ve experienced AND the official Mastodon site promotes instances that are antiracist and anti-bigotry.

Anyway, my biggest wish for the fediverse is that it grows as far as more artists, bands, news sources, etc. join. I still really like it as is, but it’ll only enhance things to have more variety of sources and voices onboard.

Thanks! Sorry for my bad info!

I was there and I hope this momentum continues! Another one in May (not sure the date).

This made me literally laugh out loud. The fact that it’s somewhat low res and pixelated is all the better.

It’s very sad to imagine that this animal is no more on this earth. It was beautiful.

Essentially the video critiques the NYT’s somewhat infantilizing interactions with on the job workers, as Priya the host occasionally even suggests the jobs she’s watching them do are “fun”. She also compares a compost collector as a “king” as he’s in driving his garbage truck at 4:30am. The video also suggests that some of these NYT videos end up serving as advertisements for the companies being shown.

This article was great! Thank you so much for writing it.
