@cwebber I accidentally bought purple glitter fabric so I made a tiny goth/Halloween dragon: https://mastodon.art/@silverseams/102893105077438960

Whole lot of exclamation marks happening in https://twitter.com/nwskansascity right now. 😬 🌪️

Headed off the grid, see you all back on the 30th. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/04/16/marvel-fans-warned-avoid-social-media-after-avengers-endgame-spoilers-leak/

I realize that "this season's writing is so implausible" is overdone but come ON a QAnon kid bumped off the head of the Gambinos? 🤪

xkcd 2112 is extremely fediverse. https://xkcd.com/2112/

Pretty sure the quantity of "everyone should get off mothership" toots is evenly matched by, if not exceeded by the "please follow me on my new instance, the old one has gone offline" toots. 😐

@clacke I'm pretty sure someone mirrors it, because I've seen that boosted into my TL from a similarly-named account (which of course I can't remember the exact name of now).

I will never get over Tavistock, NJ, population five-and-a-golf-course, formed for the sole purpose of getting around 1920's blue laws that prohibited golfing on Sundays. The mayor and two commissioners represent, AFAIK, all three of the households in town, and the borough has five part-time employees.

And they can't rejoin the borough they split from because that borough is STILL dry (although it probably does allow golfing now).

Spoiler-free (except for earlier movies) inspiration for previous spoiler thought comes from this Texts From Superheroes: https://78.media.tumblr.com/2d2cc7b8d865941da12312b10a92bf9e/tumblr_inline_p7svaxCWEG1rp2l9y_1280.png

My review of the new birdfeed threads feature:

"Expect another wave of migration to the fediverse."

17yo is on the phone with the head of the FCC (well, his office's voicemail) in case you wondered if there's hope for the future.

@lnxw48a1 I honestly wonder if the bit about avoiding it by using a password manager was left out. He gets orientation (and a school-issued iPad, to his dismay) this week so I guess we'll find out then.

"You will be responsible for remembering several passwords for school and personal accounts. We recommend that you minimize the number of passwords you use"

... I think my son's school just recommended password re-use.

Extremely tempted to launch a paid instance so all these poorly-researched-thinkpiece people will have something new to be wrong about.

I used to keep this busted airplane part on my desk at the airline. It served as a thing for the BOFH (me) to threaten wayward users with and to quiz people on, then as now: it's solid steel, very heavy and, as I said, damaged... can you guess what it is? https://mastodon.social/media/bV-5QzfYKO3zK5bLUts
