@christianselig How did you accumulate reddit premium? it could be gifted/awarded? I canceled mine when the sh*t went down, and didn't rate any gifted/awarded premiums.

Have you ever been so in your own head that when you start talking about what you've been thinking about, it doesn't make sense to other people, because they haven't been down your mental rabbit hole for hours?

lizziewriter,
@lizziewriter@mstdn.social avatar

@RickiTarr Yes, and all too often I don't make sense to myself either. Sometimes it's productive albeit painful for an idea to hit the air and be revealed as a mess. :-/

Do and not draw from the same sources? We get different results when searching on one versus the other -- if we add a book to one doesn't it become available for the other?
(Would it be preferable to stick to one federated book tracking platform?)

A drilling machine working near an underground line connecting Istanbul's central Mecidiyekoy district to the city's main airport accidentally bored through the ceiling of the metro tunnel and the rails, a video shared by Sozcu TV broadcaster showed on Saturday.

@stux Bribery, er, helpful community networks, also lack of competency can work wonders. Just a few in the US include Boston's Great Molasses Flood, the Laurel Run Dam Failure of Johnstown PA, oh, and can't leave off this contemporary category of Charybdis: the Bayou Corne sinkhole and other drilling disasters.
Thanks for posting; these stories are always fascinating.

hi, just started on and am struggling. Is this a good place to post questions? Like, why do books show up differently there than elsewhere? For example Harl's Empire of the Steppes shows up as Barbarians ... haven't checked ISBNs yet but for Waiting To Be Arrested At Night the number looked the same for a different cover image than my library copy had. thanks.

It has always been my dream to create a page-a-day desk calendar for Low Quality Facts. Because who wouldn't want to start off their day with one of these bad boys? It just seems like a perfect fit. The only problem is that I, a humble fact writer, have no idea how to make a calendar.

Please boost so some publishing company bigwig sees this and helps make the 2025 Low Quality Facts calendar a reality.

Although they are often depicted as teenagers, Romeo and Juliet were 88 years old in Shakespeare's play.

    A year ago today the Missing The Point account was started on Mastodon by a starry-eyed newbie with nothing but big dreams to make people laugh and the best posts AI could generate. Throughout the day this thread will share the top ten most-favorited posts of the year, along with some behind-the-scenes commentary.

    In honor of Missing The Pointโ€™s one-year Mastodon anniversary, you are hereby granted a day off work tomorrow, simply show this post to your boss. Enjoy the three-day weekend.

    Lately I've been making very good use of my local library. It's just so much fun browsing books and being able to take books with you that you wouldn't necessarily buy. This week's stack includes some vegan cook books, some books about local history and traditions, a comic, historical fiction, a children's book and a historical film.

    After a three year break I also started filming videos again, so if you're interested in books, language learning or slow living check out my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS7CBdPwd2m0brUVOJJiKgg

    @Readawaytherain @bookstodon libraries rock! tho there's no shortage of books at home, this year I've been gorging on interlibrary loan requests. .As often as possible i also take advantage of reference librarians' ability to get papers I don't want to pay $40+ for. They can't always get them, but more than half the time they can.

    What IS it with my country? The same people who turn violent at the thought of drag queen story hour (a harmless activity), shrug off ACTUALLY problematic behaviors, like, say, instigating violence against businesses and homes. Why not work towards something truly beneficial? No, they'd rather instigate very real violence.

    court, to history

    in , as legend has it, in 1777, Sybil Ludington (age 16 at the time) rode for 40 miles from her home in Fredricksburg, NY through Putnam County to alert her father, Colonel Henry Ludington, and others along the way that the British invading army had burned down nearby Danbury, Connecticut.
    Though historians may question the veracity of the tale (as is our wont), it is still a good story and has its place in popular understandings of the Revolution.

    @court @histodons
    yeah , locals are super attached to this story but count this local among the skeptics. Nice story tho, and stimulates interest in history.
