Ok, I've had a change of mind. I think I actually prefer the donkey hashtag drama.

@inquiline "Italo Disco Antics Out of Context" sounds very appealing rn.

acousticmirror, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

@inquiline Here's one. Not at all "Italo", but totally "disco": that time when Boney M (well, Frank Farian) got run over by Afrofuturism on the street. Timeless.

@Li Oh, thank you. I think I'll download this. It will come in handy.

@inquiline "Raccoon Runs Rampant", great alliteration there.

(On the other hand, it looks to me like all manner of rodents and small mammals are heeding the example of the capybaras and starting to organize and fight.)

@inquiline Half of my favourite shitposters here are on firefish, and the other half are on dot art. Considering how things are going right now between these two servers, I would avoid both until the clouds clear a bit. So why not another account on the server you're already on?

@inquiline A Union of People Goofing Around on the Fediverse. Why not?

In all seriousness, I just had a look at the posts on the #BearsOfMastodon tag and it looks like it's functioning fine with multiple valences of "bear". Unless there's conflict I don't know about. It's possible, folks!

@inquiline A friendly reminder is due that you can't spell "asset", "brass", "massive", "association", "grass", etc., without, well, "ass".

Cue a variety of memes on the subject of useless effort, in different cultures and languages.

@inquiline Brassica is good. It helps to assuage the drama.

You know what I’d really love? I’d love it if people stopped calling me a “doomer” because I think it’s much too late for carbon mitigation, and that we’ll have to wait for a massive contraction of the planetary economy before any gross reduction in emissions is possible. This is just facing up to the facts, not an admission of species-wide defeat or a counsel of passive acceptance.

@adamgreenfield You're not a doomer, Adam. You're an informed pessimist.

July 28th, 253 BCE—#OTD #OnThisDay Kleanax writes to Zenon concerning some mules he's hoping to smuggle alongside Apollonios' mules so that he can avoid paying export and transit taxes on them

@inquiline Mules are welcome, of course. Unfortunately, we can't do much about those export and transit taxes...

My favourite programming language is crystals fossicked from mine waste

acousticmirror, 10 months ago

@nebogeo Great libraries. A "batteries included" programming language.

If you want some #beavers to build you a dam, apparently the State of California will arrange to get you some. "The state is also running pilot projects to relocate beavers to places where they can be more beneficial."
