Hi, I'm Sam

I toot things. Very occasionally they're good, interesting, or otherwise worthwhile

Some day I might do something useful

Nope, stand down, it's back up :(

So, with Trump's twitter account apparently removed, which masto instance should we wall him off in?

I am not some sweet little endearing autist for the muggles to find inspiring

I am a person

I am fully capable of functioning

And if anyone forgets that I will rip out their fucking spine

(okay, maybe that was a bit stronger than a "mild rant")

Great, local news did a documentary thing on bronies

Of course, painted them as a bunch of saddos watching a kid's tv series because they can't function in society

So far, not something I necessarily disagree with

But then they pivoted to "Oh, lots of them have autism and it's the only way they can socialise"

Host was all "aww, the autists making friends with ponies"

As someone with an ASD, FUCK THAT SHIT

Sean Hannity just called Hillary Clinton "President Clinton" on Fox News

Are they... they're literally in a different reality right now

AND WHAT SUCKS MOST IS THAT IT'S BETTER THAN OURS

According to the AP:

"In the hours after the indictment, the president angrily told one confidant that Manafort had been a campaign “part-timer” who had only helped steer the convention and got too much credit for Trump’s ability to hold onto the nomination, according to a person familiar with the private discussion."

Yes, they're trying to play the "The campaign manager didn't have any influence over the campaign so there's not any wrongdoing" card

So, with Trump yelling that the whole Mueller thing is a "witch hunt" does that mean that at the end of it we get to burn him at the stake?

As a cis person on mastodon (yes, we walk among you) I'm learning all kinds of fun names for hrt meds

Like anticistamines and femme&m's

Has anyone promoted Mastodon to any of the cast and/or crew of any Star Trek series with the phrase "William Shatner can't find you there" yet?

Ouch Timberland, that's a little close to the bone

(also Timberland boots aren't that good)

If anyone doesn't feel like giving Ginny money they can give money to me instead

*quietly adds another example to the list of reasons why you don't let clueless people near technology*

Fuck off am I paying a grand for something that'll be obsolete in just a couple of years

(Please ignore my collection of mechanical watches using tech that went obsolete in the 70s)

Turn on the LED candles and then chop the head off the rubber chicken while chanting something that sounds vaguely like latin

After that, pick up all your stuff, plug in the equipment, and wander off

People will be talking about your dark magicks for the rest of the year

Free Halloween idea for IT people:

Dress as a cultist, bring a bag containing a rubber chicken, salt, a large cleaver, a chopping board, and 5 LED candles to work

First call of the day that can be fixed by turning something off then on again take your bag of gear to the equipment

With the salt, draw a pentagram on the floor, set the LED candles at the points, unplug the offending equipment and put it in the centre, put the chopping board, rubber chicken, and cleaver at one of the points

What would have massively improved it was the robots being faster and more brawly

Maybe the action looking something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrtnIImGipg

And then it being scored on the classic style, control, damage, and aggression with, I dunno, Henry Rollins or someone like that commentating

And get rid of the script

Just got around to watching that giant robot fight

Less exciting than I'd hoped and the announcers can fuck off but shows some promise at least

tired: progressive websites
wired: going back to gopher because fuck the web
