Dunno if you were there but Hugh Dillon using a corded mic to wander through the audience is one of the biggest rock 'n' roll flexes I've ever seen.

He had a cordless mic. He used it when he went up to the balcony level.

He used the corded one because he KNEW no one would fuck with it. And no one did.

Headstones are true rock 'n' roll royalty.

@Ask_aubry

I'm not getting why dogs might celebrate the birth of a Christ but yeah, that was cute af. ; )>

@trinsec

Many things but this was what did it for me:

@Pat @trinsec

Please, do not endeavour to speak for me. You're bad at it. My issue is not to do with the Academy Awards debacle, although that certainly IS indicative of what a trash human being he really is.

No, my issue is with his anti-atheist bigotry.

I won't even pirate a Wil Smith movie, that's how much he can go fuck himself.

You might be interested in this for your podcast, @godlessmom .

Which I've been listening to, btw, and finding both fascinating and heartbreaking.

@raulo @thetitanborn

I missed where it says this is a poll.

I just told Ringo he has cat-like grace.

Ringo is a cat and a bit of a klutz.

Ringo does not appreciate my humour.

@Romaq @freemo

I'm currently on meds for a pulmonary embolism, so I'm definitely going to consult my doctor but yeah, I'm thinking possibly a UV lamp or supplements.

@freemo

Yeah, my first step, as it should always be, is going to be to make an appointment with my doctor and get their expert opinion. Beyond that, yeah, I'd lean towards a UV lamp and then supplements.

I'm mostly just baffled that it's taken me this long to make the connection between the two. Felt a little silly for a moment there. Heh. : )>

I had a melanoma removed from my arm a while ago.

I display common symptoms of Depression.

I usually sleep during the day.

Today, it occurred to me that my symptoms might be of a vitamin D deficiency.

That would mean that when I get Sun, it tries to kill me and when I don't get Sun, it makes me want to kill myself.

I laughed at this for a good 3 minutes straight today.

@Romaq
No worries and apology accepted. I'm truly grateful you didn't just double down like most do. Heh.

I do still think there's a conversation to be had, though. One doesn't have to use FB in order to opine on the implications of its actions.

No problem if you'd rather not, though; I do get it. : )>

@Romaq

I didn't say anything about cutting off FB.

The point here is about FB possibly being a reflection of a more and more poorly equipped culture to have productive conversations about tough subjects.

@Romaq
Does that bar you from having an opinion on the implications of this move?

The psychology of this has some dark corners but an interesting perspective, to say the least, in today's social climate.

Dunno if any of you still do FB but, if you do, perhaps you'll be surprised to find that the religion, sexuality, and political position fields of your profile have quietly disappeared.

You could always hide that info.
Now they don't offer the option.

They spent so much time telling us to not talk about sex, politics, and religion in civil company when they should have been telling us how to have those conversations civilly. FB is just responding to that choice.

False alarm. As you were.

Snowmaggedon London '22-'23 may have come early.

People appear to think the pandemic is over.

Think again.
