if you are joining the twitter exodus, I'm also, in principle, on Mastodon as @[email protected]

Pedestrians - a love story.

If you write for it, quit. If you read it, quit. If you edit it. . . no comment . There is no excuse for this disgusting, stupid, pointless dinosaur to continue to exist in 2023. Papers weren't great in the 1860s, or the 1930s, but I genuinely had hoped for better.

When papers become fascist and readers don't notice.

All you democrats who forced us to vote for this ethically bankrupt president are not welcome in my home. Even if you wipe the blood off your hands first.

@KyleMizokami A 100 USD rental is a lot easier than owning any car in any city. Or pretending to be friends with people who own trucks but not horses. 😸

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

Is it something about the English language that makes people cruel and dumb?

(To be clear, not the protestors.)

massive pro-trans protests in Scotland against London's decision to try to nullify Scotland's new law making it slightly easier to take the administrative steps to change your gender

@IBJIYONGI Nuff said.

@chengela Broken twitter has eaten my response - maybe it will return - but, this sure resonates. I got an electronic piano recently in order to have something quiet to play in my apartment. Even in the hands of a goofball who struggles to read more than 1 note at a time, it's very nice.😸

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@TheGonzalez What's the round circly thing in the top right?

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@Andrefor40th @bikegridnow @balupuppy Fantastic! (I'm kinda sad I can only live in one district. But, I'll be campaigning for others, heartily. Cheers!)

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

I'm not a fan of light pollution. But, when it comes to ranking priorities, it's 8 pages deep. Maybe 12.

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

I think it's time to admit that I just don't actually understand chemistry.

(Except in very specific astronomical contexts & wrt thin film processes.)

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@reynoldsgareth One reading of that sentence is a lot more interesting than the alternative. I'm hoping both are true.

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@PinkoScare Limited to people who lived long enough to talk and we actually know a lot about?

(My very briefly considered, off-hand answer is that Harriet Tubman is probably in the running.)

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@BellatrixCarrie Apologies if I'm saying stuff you already know, but Cassady (who Dean is based on) was bisexual and probably had some sort of intimate relationship with Kerouac. He certainly did with other people in the same circle. I suspect it actually is supposed to sound that way.

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@sunnysideyards @anthonydmarek Yup. It's radically changed my understanding of cars and planes. Not just wrt COVID.

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@Wasabi_Pete And it's pretty close to the script.😸

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

How would you address a cat?

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@Wasabi_Pete (for context, that's a line from Cats, the soundtrack of which I was listening to at the time. The 2019 film version is both the best and worst thing ever created by humankind. But I love a sincere answer. 😻)

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@PinkoScare Also, if you don't notice your partner is wearing a backpack until you kiss, you should probably be a lot more observant when dating. (Not that a backpack is a bad thing. An axe might be.)

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@PinkoScare I would have a very different list. I agree with lakes, mostly.

[nearfuture @nearfuture]

@alannasimone Me encantaría que mis reuniónes fueran la misma. 🦝😀
