One of the few pretty things about the English language is how the word “subtle” subtley has a silent “b” snuck in there.

Also totally understand why non-English speakers might just feel annoyed they need to know one more exception..

Every time I see a William Blake painting, I imagine him painting in a dark room with a beard, naked, with jars of urine lining the walls.

You know @VassyKapelos@twitter.com is a good bet for @PnPCBC@twitter.com when the knee-jerks on Twitter can't decide if she's a "liberal millennial" or a "JT hater"

@natecull medium is a cancer. We need to make jekyll-like blogs as easy to use as wordpress...

@ink_slinger i think a happy middle ground is just providing fb with as little info as possible.

@kaniini crawling an instance’s toots _without_ buying it is a weekend project for one person. When you own the db, pumping into elasticsearch takes maybe an afternoon.

If an afternoon’s work feels like a sufficient deterrent from hostile actors buying your instance and stealing your data, I envy you your lazy attackers.

I will cherish this as I cherished how @haydenpanettier@twitter.com followed me for a full month in 2008.

Only thing that sounds stranger than Representative Biggs? Representative Slaughter.

@a_breakin_glass @Elizafox while we’re on this Ayn Rand kick... http://fav.me/d4uf97h

@games my English prof said that little red’s basket of cookies were her ovaries, the forest of trees actually a forest of penises, and the wolf the patriarchy.

Im trying to think who the woodsman is in that interpretation, other than the chopper of dicks.

@thurloat thanks for keeping the ship afloat cap’n

@lighttrax proof of work? Buying other coins
