Howdy folks. Long time no log-in. Hope everyone is well.

@nemo20000 Same. Felt like I was a real part of the place instead of a wallflower. Oh well, all over but the crying now, lmao.

I enjoyed T2/Pebble and made a lot of friends there. Sad to see it go - not necessarily for the owners, but for the little community of social nomads that formed and now find themselves being nomads again.

About to travel down to Knoxville to help out with a vendor's market. It's being hosted outside a kombucha bar — glad I don't actually have to go inside. 🤢

Hope everyone has an easy Sunday.

“So what do you want? Does what happens inside show on the outside?

There is such a great fire in one’s soul, and yet nobody ever comes to warm themselves there, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke coming from the top of the chimney, and go on their way.”

— Vincent Van Gogh

Today I learned that out of all the ways you can possibly rephrase "I'm gonna turn it up a notch" the worst option is most likely "I'm gonna knock it up"

@Alfred Good boy. You earn that paycheck.

@Alfred That's, uh... I can tell you're tryin' real hard, buddy. You'll get there.

@Alfred Beautiful. Great job, Alfred.

@amarand Adam West Batman is probably the closest, along with the version in The Brave and The Bold. Most incarnations pre-1989 movie slot in there to some degree.

Batman was best when he was an armor-less detective with modest hand-to-hand combat skills, the wit of Sherlock Holmes, and the personality of an eccentric preschool teacher.

@0x56 I vividly and specifically remember the Fruit of the Loom logo having a cornucopia.

@tifroggie He'll probably enjoy Kurt's liner notes on the "Incesticide" album, you can read them on the Wiki page for the release. 😊

@tifroggie Surprised no one has recommended Nirvana.

@Cosmichomicide lmao, I know what you mean!

Had a detailed joke about "Xeet" but I think it's a little too nsfw. Safe to say it should have happened on Mama Musk's face instead, would have saved the world a lot of trouble

To be frank, I can't wait until the bird site finally dies so everybody can stop losing their shit every time it loses another limb. At this point, I'm pretty sure we all know it's not just a flesh wound.

@Krysdammit Making learning fun like that makes it a lot easier to learn too, I'd say. Plus, I'm sure just being able to laugh so much is a big help on its own. It is the best medicine, after all. 😊

@Krysdammit She sounds like a trooper, and it's great she has someone as incredibly kind as you to work with her in whatever way best accommodates her current situation. I'm sure with your help, she'll be speaking naturally in no time at all.
