how to migrate ello account to cohost send toot

I want to see an established scifi property do a series that functions like an anthology of "miniseries" type stories.

Give me, for example, "Star Trek Galaxy"; each "season" is 5-ish episodes that each track a story arc for one ship/mission somewhere. Each arc has the freedom to stand alone. Avoid cameos. Avoid recurring characters between seasons. Just tell me a tight story that enriches the universe.

in the spirit of constructive criticism, what i really want to see is a social media platform that:

- allows users to curate comments on their own posts
- allows creating, annotating, categorizing, sharing, and subscribing to block lists
- permits easy syndication both in and out
- has a clear, human-readable and machine-readable data export mechanism
- has clearly stated moderation ideals and a clear strategy for scaling moderation
- has a legal status that prevents it from taking venture investment or going public, and/or is owned by its operators
- is open source and self-hostable

if it's not all of those things at launch that's fine but it should at least be somewhere on the roadmap and shouldn't be clearly financially impossible based on your business model

if you're ever wondering what braxy is, it's simply a kind of epizooty or murrain. Hope that helps!

Any Vancouverites want tickets to see Weird Al this Saturday?

I have tickets in the center orchestra.

DM me if you're interested!

The term "dopamine dressing" is usually associated with bright colours but it can mean anything you feel good in. Two good things:

1. I love the randomness of tie dye.
2. I've been a lot less clumsy and more mindful since starting ADHD meds, so wrecking light coloured clothes by spilling on them or doing something careless isn't a 95% certainty any more. (Obviously, there's other good things about meds, but that's the big one relevant to pastel overalls.)

I just somehow managed to make "without" a separable word by generating the clause "with also out being reminded"

I’ve started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It’s all about raisin awareness.

All operating systems should always include a key combination that, when pressed, homes the mouse pointer to a well known, and preferably configurable, location.

This would be so much faster and easier than the current jiggle the mouse to see a zoomed pointer or a cascading reticle solutions.
