@madswinther @diello Good point - the federated feed does move along decently.
@diello @madswinther My feed has been pretty quiet except for the pinepple programmer over at mastodon.social.
I have two large, muscular, defective orange tomcats. I like to pet them and, in a baritone voice, pretend they are defensively affirming that they are in fact cats.
"yes I am in fact a cat, why would you doubt me?" Etc
Man, could you imagine if other workers reacted like tech Industry ones do?
"my car broke down." "UH, HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CAR THEN?"
"My pants ripped." "LEARN A SEWING LANGUAGE THEN"

always love the feeling of sinking back into the familiar comfort of a favourite book you've read so many times you've lost count
Wow, Sherman Alexie is way younger than i thought he was. One of those people whose impact began very early in life, i guess.
"John Wayne's teeth, heya
John Wayne's teeth, heya
Are they false or are they real?

Managing the schedule for sales reps is like herding cats that are high on catnip and two meals behind.
@amyelizabeth Had to look up what a Murderino was. Not a listener to the podcast, but was fairly into true crime for a long while. Recently, I scratched that itch with the American Murder Song set of murder ballads. Good stuff from the songwriters behind Repo: The Genetic Opera and The Devil's Carnival.
Playing back through Shadow of Mordor to get in the mood for the upcoming sequel and remembering how much I miss Ratbag and Torvin. Talking was boring white vengeance guy, but Ratbag drew out amusing frustration in him and Torvin constantly taking the piss out of our stuffy captain was a delight.
In the name of the toot I'll punish you.

Be kind, you fuckers.
http://www.unmung.com/mastoview ("Mastoview") is pretty neat for peaking at the timelines on other instances, but, uh, be aware that it doesn't appear to support CW or NSFW.
@kepstin Wow. That's really handy. Strikes me as a particularly good tool for investigating whether or not a particular instance feels like the right home for you.
@oldhat I'll admit I get very self conscious that I'm being overly dominant in a conversation due to privilege and/or a desperate need for socialization.
"There is no other way to put this: essentially everything about Popular Consciousness Kirk is bullshit. Kirk, as received through mass culture memory and reflected in its productive imaginary (and subsequent franchise output, including the reboot movies), has little or no basis in Shatner’s performance and the television show as aired. Macho, brash Kirk is a mass hallucination."
