“has taken an astonishing gamble” in calling an early , apparently.

It would be truly astonishing if he needed, and/or was particularly enjoying the job…

Actually, he’s shit at it and, as we recently learned, he’s richer than the King so it’s not like the income matters.

The only possible redeeming factor might be having great, supportive colleagues… and that being so, with ‘friends’ like his, I think it’s astonishing he’s stuck it out this long.

@drandrewv2 in the states, i think in the 70s, there was a novelty song called 'take this job and shove it'. i imagine it being played at no 10

Suite à une vidéo de Konbini, vue avec ma copine ce soir, j'ai décidé de faire la playlist de ma vie (9 chansons qui marquent des étapes de ma vie/des moments importants)
— @feudjais

voici la mienne, elle ne s'agit pas de mes chansons préférées (là on pourrait consulter https://listenbrainz.org/user/emmadilemma/stats/top-tracks/?page=1&range=all_time) mais de neuf titres liés chacun à un moment particulier, souvent une personne particulière. (je suis anglophone et can't speak french™ mais j'éspère qu'on puisse me comprendre malgré les fautes). allons-y…

u2 - running to stand still
kylie minogue - better the devil you know
dinah washington - i could write a book
girls aloud - whole lotta history
taylor swift - all too well
natasha st-pier - à l'amour comme à la guerre
martina mcbride - how far
ariana grande - thank u, next
angèle - plus de sens

Do you use subtitles? I'm using them more and more when they are available? It helps me to keep track of what's going on, and I like that I can turn the sound down when if it gets overwhelming.

Gonna be a good league night
Just demolished competitor #1 though I tilted on ball 3 and subsequently forfeit balls 4&5

@katieonviolin how do you smash people with two forfeited balls, are you some kind of superhero?

@katieonviolin

Tilt ending the game is brutal

sorry for ignoramusness, but tilt doesn't always lose the game? it normally just forfeits a ball? don't hate me for growing up on joust

@katieonviolin and 'short flippers, wide lane' sounds like the only way to win is to tilt it. but not enough that you, you know, tilt

this mess reminds me of when the dead bird was taken over. we're moving! everyone said. to mastodon! then they got here and 80% said, gee, this shit is hard and i can't see everyone i used to and where are quote tweets, and they went back. it's easy for foss/fedi denizens to think ours is the obvious answer for everyone, but it really isn't.

me vs bookwyrm: my instance was unstable, it's probably just one person, so i packed up and cloned myself on another instance. they all seem to be a single demographic group reading sci-fi. i realized that the thing i like about my instance is that i actually discover things on the 'discover' tab. so i moved back. it's down again, but i'm pretty sure it's where i belong

this all reminds me of the police. no, not those police, these police:

every breath you take, every move you make
every bond you break, every step you take
i'll be watching you

actually, those police too.

I got an air quality sensor and air purifier, and have learned:

• opening the windows is the most effective way to decrease particulate matter

• our humidifier pumps out hazardous levels of particles when using tap water (oops)

• waking up w/an irritated throat and sinuses goes away with clean air!

• high particulate matter is correlated with nosebleeds in kids—and our kid gets chronic nosebleeds

I am happy to have learned all of this but also feel like an idiot for learning it so late. 😭

elvis's 'it's now or never' came on as +1 and i had tea at lovejoy's, and i mentioned that i thought it was based on opera. i cannot sing (panicked bystanders would call paramedics) but talk-sang 'o sole mio' over the beginning, 'enry 'iggins style, and then she heard it. i just hope i'm not wrong

yesterday @sustainrelease mentioned césaria évora's 'club sodade' album. i hadn't listened in a while so i gave it a spin, and immediately remembered i'd seen her live soon after sodade came out. it's a long time ago and i don't remember details, but the image of a barefoot singer spinning around on a carpet, lit cigarette in hand, is one that stays with you

random find of the evening, when i needed to demonstrate the existence of death metal to +1:

…death metal has diversified, spawning several subgenres. Melodic death metal combines death metal elements with those of the new wave of British heavy metal. Technical death metal is a complex style, with uncommon time signatures, atypical rhythms, and unusual harmonies and melodies. Death-doom combines the deep growled vocals and double-kick drumming of death metal with the slow tempos and melancholic atmosphere of doom metal. Deathgrind, goregrind, and pornogrind mix the complexity of death metal with the intensity, speed, and brevity of grindcore. Deathcore combines death metal with metalcore traits. Death 'n' roll combines death metal's growled vocals and highly distorted, detuned guitar riffs with elements of 1970s hard rock and heavy metal.

she responded by reciting fake tom ridge's terror alert levels (bone, eggshell, natural, off-white, écru)
