Mighty Orbot

The mightiest orbot of them all. #Transformers, #DogsOfMastodon and assorted geekery.

I occasionally boost political content, but I try to CW all my own political posts. Please hide my boosts or filter out “uspol” if you don’t want to see any of that stuff.

There’s a small stand of oak trees near where I walk my dog every day which is currently flooded from the recent heavy rains. I enjoy when that happens, because the local ducks always find it before I do and adopt it for themselves.

Okay, this was awesome: “According to Rohan Nadkarni, a sports reporter for NBC News, a source confirmed the couple had previously invited #BadBunny to their wedding. The Grammy winner gave them a present no other could likely offer: the chance to wed at Levi’s Stadium during the #SuperBowl.”

Keep using appropriate hashtags. People who only want to follow those topics will follow the hashtags; people who only follow your account have the option to mute those hashtags entirely.

That article is really light on details. Whenever I’ve heard of multi-major-website leaks like this, it always turns out to be collections of old data. I’ll wait until @npub1vc3…axsh chimes in.

I’ll bet Lord Vetinary of Ankh-Morpork routinely gives his city’s more rebellious citizens, through admittedly circuitous means, the education they need to overthrow him. He knows such ambitions are inevitable, and it’s easier to counteract them if he knows exactly what they’re planning to do going in.

I know they wanted to make the difference between 81% and 100% look much worse than it is to get their point across. A 4:5 pay ratio just doesn’t have the same punch as a 1:3 pay ratio. It’s a valid point, but still a deceptive illustration.

Good to see this broken down country-by-country for once.
Kinda misleading to start the bar chart at 77%, though.

So because the author doesn’t get 100% of the profits, you think they should get 0% instead?

I see no good reason why a successful author at the age of 20 shouldn’t be able to keep earning royalties from that book at age 45, or age 95 for that matter.

Probably not the specific book you want, but SOME books.

As I understood it, Pixelfed uses your Mastodon account to create a new, local Pixelfed account; it’s just a convenience. You’re not really using one account to sign in to a different server the way Google and Facebook do.

please explain what the hell the bearded guy is sitting at, then. No sensible human artist would think that’s how bars or stools work.

My last employer made a big show about handing out branded swag every year: Columbia coats, portable barbecue grills, and picnic bags with the company logo on it. My current employer just gives me an end-of-year cash bonus. Guess which one makes me happier.

When we brought our Tabasco pepper plants inside this fall, it didn’t take long to see the aphids all over the leaves. We tried a (non-toxic) spray but they kept reappearing.
Then one day I noticed a ladybug trapped in our house trying to get out a closed window, and it occurred to me there was an easier way to solve the pest problem.
Two ladybugs are now relocated to our plants, and seem to be very happy munching up the aphids for us.

Easier? Yes, the larger bags do that. MUCH easier? Eh, I wouldn’t go that far.

#ShoheiOhtani is just maddeningly good at this game: “the superstar stole his 43rd base and hit his 43rd home run to become the first member of the 43-43 club.”

I wish there was something like Patreon, but for wellness checks. Like, I don’t need your coffee money, but sometimes I’d like to hear a surprise voice on the phone saying, “Hey, this is your friend GlupShitto943 from Mastodon. How’s it going? Need to vent for a bit while I’m baking?” and then I don’t feel like I’m inconveniencing anyone when I do.

“The researchers found that [board] games help relieve social anxiety, which is experienced at higher rates in those who have #autism than in the general population. There's a rigid structure to proceedings, with less need to make small talk.”
