@sabbatical Haha I haven't payed attention long enough after to see if they come back!

My new favourite way to kill a housefly: catch it out of mid-air and chuck it at a hard surface

Niche Dutch thing of the day thanks to @ohryan

Kinda brilliant, yet kinda stupid in how easy to defeat it—too late to make a difference either way.

People going around acting like banning the use of personal electronics in the classroom prevents students from using them in an emergency make no sense to me.

@sabbatical I pop in to the church that houses one of work's schools when there's a student organist practicing to get my fix

@sabbatical I should clarify that the prank calls I've been hearing recordings of are something along the lines of getting a radio dj to do the prank call live (presumably) on the air and of topics that are quite emberrassing to boot

@sabbatical This is brilliant!

@sabbatical I understand that struggle! My dad's a leftie and I'm pretty sure he still buys the same pens he settled on over 20 years ago

To the 11 people who wished me a happy birthday by commenting on my mum's Facebag post, a type of greeting that only is getting to me because I wanted to write this, I thank you heartily, but I can't help but feel like you wished me a happy birthday more for the sake of your relationship with my mother than your relationship with myself. Of course, you'll never see this and I'm thanking you more for the sake of my relationship with people other than yourself. Turnabout is fair play.

I've been overhearing a lot of prank call recordings because apparently those are a thing.

Let it be known that if someone were to get someone to call me with an attempt at a prank call, I'd probably never speak to them again.

@sabbatical We have the exact same pens at the office, but just with name and url… time to ask for a fresh batch, I dare say

I've realised that 100% of my intentional meatspace socialising (i.e. the kind that is draining but also necessary for me) is not for reasons that I intentionally want to socialise.

I keep having thoughts like "if I had the time and energy, I'd start a club"

The web is so much better if you only have to see the things you want to see

I keep humming Matchmaker and discovering I've switched to Chim Chimminy

@sabbatical I still use elk.zone a lot and it's nice, but Phanpy's customization is nice. My landing page is two columns: notifications and bookmarks. That's what I want to see before I go in and start reading new things
