Watching Columbo S6E1: Fade in to Murder, with William Shatner as the murderer.

He was perfect as Kirk, but in just about everything else he comes across as just William Shatner, like in this Columbo episode. I think I can see Shatner’s ego affecting Peter Falk’s performance too, just a little bit.

It would be interesting to know how things went down behind the scenes, filming this episode.

“I pressed down the mental accelerator. The old lemon throbbed fiercely. I got an idea.”

Well, this was a simple, but quite delicious elk mince meatloaf with funnel chanterelles, stuffed with feta and sun-dried tomatoes.

Watching "Is That Black Enough for You?!?" on Netflix.

A very interesting documentary examining "the history, craft and legacy of African American cinema" (Wikipedia).

Highly recommended!

If the default #CoSo browser experience has too many elements for your needs, go ahead and enable the "Ostrich Mode". It'll remove some of the bonus elements. You can always re-enable them later.

From the CounterSocial User Guide:

"For a minimal desktop layout, visit Edit Profile > Preferences to enable “Ostrich Mode”. This mode will remove the “extras” including the news ticker, CoSoCom emergency radio scanner, and live news station feeds."

#CoSoTips

The only game that I play is World of Warcraft. I forget for how long it has been -- maybe 16-17 years. Since The Burning Crusade launched.

I love it. I love the world, the exploration, the music, and the lore.

Very much looking forward to the launch of WoW: Dragonflight!

Any other WoW players around?

I already created my Dracthyr Devastation Evoker!

Behold! 🤓 😎 #Warcraft #nerd #Dragonflight #CoSoGames #games

Came to the #Finnish #Archipelago to our "summer house" for a long weekend.

The sauna is warmed up. It's time to relax, and enjoy the sound of silence.

If you possibly can, consider donating to CoSo and/or subscribing to PRO.

I've done both. I'd like to see CoSo live long, and prosper.

As it were. #CoSoNerd

It's really too bad that many people are flocking over to the fediverse instead of here.

I've been trying to signal my followers over at the birdy place that CoSo is a much better alternative.

If you’re into sci-fi, you would do well to follow Quinn’s Ideas on YouTube.

The weather forecast for Saturday predicts 13C.

Now, for November in Finland, that high a temperature is — not to put too fine a point on it — fuckin’ nuts.

The more time I spend here, the more this feels like my new haunt.

The "other place" has accounts that I'd be happy to see here -- well-known scientists, philosophers, academic institutions, interesting organisations, and so forth.

That may change in time, or it may not. Still, CoSo has been very friendly and positive, and I'm glad that is the case, even if that means missing out on some sources I'd be interested in following.
