I like having fun and being cool on the internet.

If you want to know more check out my pinned toot(s). The info there is probably more up to date and relevant than anything I'd write here!

I also run the labyrinth.social instance. See @admin for posts about that

We’re now seven episodes into (2023) and there have been two I already consider all time classics (Wild Blue Yonder and Boom), and none of the others have been duds (although I’ve had problems with some). I like this version of the show!

It’s not about the Planet of the Apes. It’s about the Apes of the Planet.

Call me old fashioned but I don’t think cops should arrest journalists covering protests

Btw this is in regards to @e_urq whose site Assigned provides in depth daily coverage of transphobic propaganda. Evan posted on bluesky today that he was at the UVA protest, as press, when he was arrested

I do think it's kind of neat that apple now allows emulators in the iphone app store, and I'm glad people are excited about the launch of a mostly fully featured retro nintendo emulator, but it's also kind of a shitty experience IMO. turns out those games are better if you have actual buttons

Boston area folks: Pandemonium books and games in Cambridge. Y’all seen this shit??? When I go into a local game store I expect to see half a shelf at most of indie rpgs, they got like six bookcases. There’s a whole shelf of solo journaling games. This store is legit amazing

@starshaped Can't believe I never went there until a couple weeks ago.

I was just watching something where a store owner who knew nothing about gundam, gunpla, or plamo was talking about their stock of model kits.

He referred to some model kits of the Gundam mobile suits as "Gundams". Yes, great.

He referred to some model kits of other non-Gundam mobile suits from the Gundam anime as "Gundams." Absolutely correct.

Then he referred to some different giant robot model kits from a different non-Gundam anime as "Gundams". No notes. Completely correct.

Next up, he referred to a model kit of an airplane from an unrelated anime as a "Gundam." Yes. Yes. Yes.

Then he said "okay I got a few more gundams" and he pulled out some plastic model kits of Pokémon. Hell yes. You're brave and you should say it!! Reshiram is a Gundam! Garchomp is a Gundam! Ho-oh is a Gundam! Yes!

It was truly an honor to appear in a Spoiler Cops (in color!) sketch on the Reality Bomb podcast. https://www.realitybombpodcast.com/2024/03/27/reality-bomb-episode-116/

Are you susceptible to believing propaganda? Please explain your answer and reasoning.

tom,
@tom@labyrinth.social avatar

@BlackAzizAnansi Nobody is completely immune to propaganda, it's ridiculous to think that you are. And even if you are a being with a magical brain that is immune to every currently known propaganda technique there is always a chance that someone will invent a powerful new technique tomorrow that works on you

remember at the end of Rise of Skywalker when a lady said "what's your name" and Rey said "Rey" and the lady was like "no, I need your full name" and she paused and reflected on her journey and who she had become, and said, "Me? I'm Rey Star Wars"

I swear to god someday very soon I’m gonna be telling people I knew Sanjay Lago before he was an international sensation

So excited to hear @rileysilverman interview Alex Kingston. Alex wasted absolutely no time before shouting out costume designer Ray Holman and crediting him with his role in bringing River Song to the screen. An absolute class act. #gally1

This isn’t a question, it’s more of a comment, and it’s barely even that #gally1

Love hearing Amanda-Rae Prescott interview costume designer Ray Holman. So glad she asked him about the role he has in helping along the next generation of costume designers, loved his answer too. #gally1

devs trying to convince people who thought picking a server on mastodon was too hard, to use regex

@tom@labyrinth.social avatar

@cmdr_nova who needs moderation when you can use regex to curate your feed

What @anildash is saying here is extremely important. sharing something like this on mastodon feels kind of like preaching to the choir, but it's worth periodically reminding ourselves.

Can someone who understands activity pub fill me in on the whole Threads posting to Mastodon thing? Mosseri (IG CEO) said that soon Threads users would be able to post to Mastodon. Will I be able to cross post my Threads posts to this Mastodon profile? Or do I have to set up a second Mostodon profile for my Threads cross posts? I'm confused how this whole thing will work

tom,
@tom@labyrinth.social avatar

@taylorlorenz It's kind of like how I (using labyrinth.social) and you (using mastodon.social) can follow each other, see each other posts, reply to one another. Threads is just becoming another participant in that.
