What's your favorite song from the year you were born?

datn,
@datn@xoxo.zone avatar

@RickiTarr Harry Nilsson, "Everybody's Talkin'". one of my favorite artists of all time. the song was a cover but an extremely well selected, well executed one. it was used that year to great effect in the near-perfect film Midnight Cowboy, the only X-rated film ever to win Best Picture.

when I'm on vacation, as I am now, my patience for useless argument and outrage on the fedi goes from "barely any" to "absolutely none".

Do you use emojis in work emails?

datn,

@jcrabapple as does everyone in the org except the top dogs. even weirder: they use animated GIFs up the wazoo.

    HOLIDAY CELEBRATE question!

    What is your favorite holiday and why?

    Don't come to tell us you hate all holidays. I know they can be tough, but what you probably don't like is toxic people attached to them. Either way yucking someone's yum is not nice, so don't.

    @RickiTarr November 11, Armistice Day. not the rebranded Veterans' Day, nothing against veterans. I believe veterans should appreciate the end of war at least as much as I do.

    my neighbor recently expressed surprise that I loathe Elon Musk. for him he's the savior of the world, with his groundbreaking work in overpriced and over hyped electric vehicles and monkey-killing implants. my neighbor loves having a billionaire to worship

    he asked me incredulously why. I said, "because he supports and enables fascists." he was utterly blindsided by this opinion--what a luxury to somehow remain oblivious to so many facts about this shithead that are beating down our doors every day--and proceeded to sealion the shit out of me on the topic.

    datn,
    @datn@xoxo.zone avatar

    @Tattooed_mummy yeah, this was a rude awakening for me. I won't be too surprised when Europe and the States both descend into fascism, but I'm continually surprised by how many normal people are fine with it

    @aeva it's the anti-Scientology game! I loved it way back when. I was also delighted to learn that "sanguine cognition" could easily be interpreted as "bloody-mindedness".

    On Nov. 27, 1978, the late Dianne Feinstein, then the 45-year-old president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and two-time failed mayoral candidate called a press conference to announce her retirement.

    That afternoon, a supervisor killed Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.

    Feinstein handled the moment with poise, and went on to serve 9 years as mayor and 3 decades in the U.S. Senate.

    Littleun's school is doing a charity event that's clearly changed a bit over the years - the flyer has some cartoon penny-people waving flags and it says "1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a coin war!"

    "Coin isn't enough syllables," I say, narrowing my eyes, "but alright, you can have my odd change if it'll get her class a root beer float party."

    All US coins and bills accepted, it says, "WELL THAT'S BANG AGAINST THE PENNY-WAR SPIRIT OF THE THING" I say, but whatever, let's empty out the jelly bean machine, it'll be a nice excuse to show y'all the coin mechanism.

    @ifixcoinops when some people engage in the storied practice of thumb wrestling, they count down to the match by saying, "One, two, three, four -- I declare a thumb war!" your flyer there might be a riff on that, the question of meter completely aside.
