Got my copy of @hellomcdm.bsky.social Draw Steel and I guess they decided people with old eyes didn’t need to be able to read the words, it’s all so TINY.

People will mock this. But something to note:
When Remembrance Day was introduced, this is EXACTLY what many British WW1 veterans did on it.
They would meet up with old friends and colleagues from their units. Talk. Laugh. Cry. Toast those not there and get joyously, and utterly shitfaced. /1

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The first three words of "look at this asshole" is "look at this".
My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

I would like to have a job in a company that contributes to open source, so I could persuade it to throw some effort/money at GitX for a new release to fix all the awful behaviours it has on modern macOSs.

Tolkien understood masculinity to a level Elon Musk and fascist tech bros can NEVER understand.
All the shit they do in Call of Duty he did for real in the mud and blood of the Western Front.
He came out of that rejecting all of the macho bullshit they claim it teaches you.
Fuck 'em.

Version 1.109 ❌
Every new version I try pasting a GIF into the app and am disappointed. Don’t know why I thought this one would be different.
And this lack is about 80% of the reason I’ve not started making GIFs again. The inability to share them on the only social network I use.

Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go on—
