It turns out that writing reflexive verbs without using the letter E is very difficult.
So all of us row on, boats against flowing rapids, unvaryingly carrying us back into our past.
If our souls, split now in two, so
As a stiff twin compass is two;
My soul, that firm foot, will not show
To part, but doth, if its pair will do.
And though it far from orbit sits,
Still as its pair away will tack,
It tilts and follows hard towards it,
And grows up straight, as its pair turns back.
Such will I do for you, who must,
As our front foot, far away part;
My fixity holds our oval just,
And brings us in turn back to our start.

Hello everyone I'd like to introduce the new @ambassador from https://a.weirder.earth
This is my attempt to fix the followbot problem. If you're an instance admin, you can install an ambassador bot on your instance.
The bot will boost the most popular toots from your instance. Someone can follow your ambassador to have your instance's best content added to their federated feed.
Feedback welcome, code here: github.com/mbilokonsky/ambassador
LISA: I feel like I'm gonna DIE, Bart!
BART [nonchalant]: We're *all* gonna die, Lis.
LISA: I mean SOON!
BART [sadly]: So did I.
So in 2006, ~for unrelated reasons~, I made a playlist of my favorite songs about the end of the world, and I was thinking, yeah, this feels timely and fun to share.
A few changes: I added Bowie's "Five Years" and switched to Nirvana's cover of "Man Who Sold the World." And I had to take Jim O'Rourke's "Get A Room" off because Drag City's not on Spotify. Which is a shame, because it's a beautiful, sad, funny song, and one of my favorites.
S.I. Rosenbaum, Jake Harris, and I had a fun Twitter conversation about Superman's myriad identities tonight. Cameos by Anil Dash and John Overholt. https://storify.com/tcarmody/on-superman
The new run of Flintstones comics (yes those Flintstones) is seriously good. Futurama-style wit and social commentary. https://mastodon.social/media/EC2ddpXRc_3myaIIRts

"A friends-of-friends timeline would be very nice to help find more people to follow," he whispered into the wind
"It worked for Friendster," the wind whispered back
