Gonna try to get off Twitter for awhile (maybe permanently, who knows) for my mental health.

See you on the flip side (maybe), and meanwhile:

@venustheory Can we assume there will be a sample pack based on the pay phones coming soon?

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

Sometimes I wonder what the fucking point is anymore

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

@Rebecca_M_Dean Glad you have sunshine. We have freezing fog....

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

@Rebecca_M_Dean She went all last week without the damn glasses. What's one more day?

Only year-end list that matters: a comprehensive ranking of 2022's best beaver dams.

19 years of marriage and (miraculously) @Rebecca_M_Dean still tolerates me.

Happy Anniversary, Beautiful!

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

To all who celebrate!

Merry Shitmas

Bah humbug

It's always nice to see that one's team is probably good enough not to get relegated from League Two...

[Wolves @Wolves]

Job done.

@Rebecca_M_Dean Probably "lerp", not "lurp"

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

This is how stupid @elonmusk is. He doesn't understand that this *reduces* the usefulness (and thus value) of Twitter.

If you would wait less than 20 minutes or use the PA system to tell customers that you can't take their money unless they're still living in the last fucking century...

...then you're not the dipshits who run the only true grocery store in my town.

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

Imagine for a moment that you run a grocery store.

A store in which several percent of your entire town is shopping late on a Friday afternoon.

And some part of the computer system goes down.

You can't process electronic transactions.

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

When you finally got around to telling people, would you do it on the PA system?

Or send one employee to walk among the people who've been waiting for 20 minutes or more?

@Rebecca_M_Dean The pink guillotine is a particularly nice touch

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

I suppose it's pretty and all that, but I could do without it today.

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

@Rebecca_M_Dean Except that I'm not honestly sure I enjoy it.

[Joseph Beaver, Misanthropologist @JosephBeaver]

I think I might spend a little too much time playing this game....
