It’s a very quiet Sunday online.
In my dream last night, somebody handed me a can of Schlitz Beer.
I’m not exactly gonna start rationing eggs, but I’m going to start rationing eggs.
I’m really not happy with any of the social media systems for community and discussion. Somehow I think commenting should be done directly on the blog post webpage or via Webmention and not on a timeline, which means no community. There is a lot of friction in those two methods plus you need a proper commenting system on the blog (third party stuff just does not work.)
I just joined Status.Cafe which is a sort of nano blog status thingy. It’s v. simple and I like it. It let’s me post little short things that I really don’t want showing up in the MB timeline nor cross posted. Good for my nonsense. It’s free and no long term commitments. :-)
I’m feeling fairly caffeinated so I guess I should make decaffeinated coffee instead of regular. -hangs head-
If you register for an online community or service and are supposed to get an email to complete said registration, how long does one wait for that confirmation email? I’m thinking 48 hrs since it appears to be a one man shop. That might be harsh but I’m not rechecking inbox forever.
I had been thinking about getting a separate profile page from some service to knit together my far flung Internet empire, and then I remembered I have Micro.blog Premium Plan which lets me make stand alone static web pages. It should be easy to to make myself a profile page. Muhahahah.
While I have lots of complaints about WordPress, but the WP commenting system is still the best.
Breaking Florida News Flash: Beware, hazard, Iguanas falling from trees Alien conspiracy blamed.
Today is Frozen Pizza Friday again. One must try to adhere to a routine, because it’s the only civilized thing to do.
Meanwhile in D.C.: Trump has put Musk in charge of Darkness and Robert Kennedy in charge of reality.
”…ends of lanes where magic lives.”
Gosh, I like that. I like the whole thing.
I just ran across this: Multiverse which appears to be a micro blogging network (eg. Twitter, Mastodon, etc.) Members appear to be able to post more than just text, so you have greater freedom of expression. That seems to be what makes it different. I have not joined so there may be more.
Egg prices have gone up sharply instead of down. Surprise, surprise.
I miss Pangaea. The High Street stores were better there.
Vivaldi browser 7.1 is out. And it introduces a cool weather widget you can put on your dashboard. It’s a small thing but very handy.
One reason Trump and the Fascists are in power is because you can always count on the Left to fragment, and fight each other rather than uniting for a common cause. Big things, small things, it happens every time.
My local weekly newspaper just quit publishing. Last week they printed a notice that they were for sale, this week they announced they were quitting due to lack of advertising. Well that is the end of that.
Did Trump’s wife ever smile even once during the inauguration? She did not look happy. I didn’t watch so I’m only seeing still photos.
I got two restaurant cravings developing at the same time: 1. Long John Silver’s and 2. White Castle. Both of which require a little driving to get to because the nearest stores closed down. And so it goes.
Oatmeal. Think pleasant oatmeal thoughts. Oatmeal calm. Oatmeal, perhaps with canned peaches. Soothing. Oatmeal.
Gulf of Narcotics
Is it too soon to be talking about unfrosted Pop-Tarts being superior to frosted?
Dang it’s cold. -4 degrees F (-20 degrees C) right now. The high today will be 3 degrees F (16 degrees C). I think I have found my excuse to stay inside today and drink hot drinks.
