PRO TIP: spend the week before the holidays drunk-dialing your family and save HUNDREDS when Xmas dinner is canceled!

Maybe it was a bad idea to sell the world's top generator of blistering hot takes to the world's meltiest snowflake.

Links to perfectly well run fedi instances are now being slandered by Twitter as being 'potentially harmful' etc.
Instances include:
https://hachyderm.io run by @nova
https://pixelfed.social run by @dansup
https://social.linux.pizza run by @selea
https://mastodon.social run by @Gargron
They even went after George Takei: @georgetakei and @stux
You can circumvent the #FreezePeach ban by emailing people directly sending them links to the instance of your choice.

Proposal: if you need to cite something on the fowl place, use archive.org rather than direct link. It serves three purposes: avoiding driving traffic and engagement to the original, future proofing against user deleting their account, and future proofing against complete collapse of the platform.

My kids keep finding their Xmas pressies that I have hidden around the house. Someone suggested I put them up the attic, so I did that last night. Had no sleep as all I could hear were them crying about spiders, the dark & wanting to be let back down. Any other suggestions please

increasingly, I believe that the destruction of Musk's Twitter is crucial for the preservation of American democracy. I was neutral on this until the past few days. But it's now obvious that his intentions -- and actions -- are aimed in part at promoting right-wing extremism.
The Murdoch family is still the greater threat, but Musk looks set to supersede them as a force for evil.

Fellow librarians -- please pass around word about @libraryland.social - a Mastodon instance set up for public library workers to share ideas, inspirations, questions, announcements and the like. If you're looking for a new home to move to after landing at mastodon.social -- that might be your new home.
The ratio of a Jack-o-Lantern to its circumference is called the pumpkin pi.

Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with a slow Internet connection to see who they really are.

If you speak a #language other than English, and it has an expression equivalent to "swear like a ____", referring to a specific occupation like sailor, cart driver, etc., let me know! I've gathered a few examples, but the more data I get, the better. #linguistics #languages #swearing #profanity #research
