I do not like that site of birds
I do not like its awful words

I do not like what it became
I do not like its cult of shame

I do not like intrusive ads
I do not like the vapid fads

I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm

But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down

@seldo @chris_stevenson Ah, OK; thanks. May as well re-post this, then: (I think I saw this here in my mastodon feed)

The amazing irony that Twitter spent 15 years saying they couldn't do an edit button, then they did one and immediately the whole site died. They were right!

Merry Christmas to this incredible gay icon.

Sure you’ve heard of Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig, but what about Jackie Mitchell? She’s the 17 yr old pitcher who struck them both out consecutively in 1931.

Babe Ruth was quoted saying women “will never make good” in baseball bc “they are too delicate.”

The next day, the NYTimes reported, “The prospect grows gloomier for misogynists.”

There’s far more to Jackie’s impressive baseball career https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/meet-jackie-mitchell-the-girl-who-struck-out-babe-ruth.html

@lethain One big difference I've noticed living in Africa, Europe, and the United States, is that in the US, "chore dates" are missing.

In the US, when people hang out with friends, there has to be some event: dinner. Listening to music. Going somewhere. Friends don't come over while people do laundry. We don't go to our friend's house just to go grocery shopping with them, or get an oil change.

I do that kinda stuff with my friends, and it's great! Recommend. 👍🏿

I will watch you do dishes!

This strip came out in 1995. I’m afraid of what Calvin’s dad would have to say about technology in 2022. 😬🫠 #CalvinandHobbes

This one makes me laugh every year… because it is so very true.

You can go “goblin mode,” but I’m going to go “hobbit mode”: walking around barefoot in a comfortable home, eating more than three meals a day, splitting my time between tending my garden and writing, and occasionally getting pulled into an adventure by an old wizard.

Domestic flights in #France between two cities connected by train, and shorter than 2.5 hours, are now banned. Cool idea.
