Fleabag is great, and is only 6 hours long in total so I haven't had to sign away the next 4 months of my evenings.
It has been [0] days since my timeline was flooded by introspective federated-related infighting.
@mjog I admire your persistence and calm in The Thread.

one last thing from prepping for this webcomics class. i'm going to do an exercise on elevator pitches where everyone makes up a ten-word pitch to accurately encapsulate a famous piece of media. these are the examples i came up with

Markets are great and all, and evidently there's some economic function in some company squatting on wjt.co.uk and wjt.uk who will entertain offers north of £3,000, but I can't work out what meaningful value domain squatters provide to society. Just a waste of perfectly good namespace.
But we're on day 7 of neighbours' noisy “redecoration” (aka a lot of sledgehammering and masonry-drilling) so it's headphones-and-Mogwai time.
I assumed when I started working from home that I would listen to music even more than in an office, using speakers rather than headphones; ~3 years in, I barely listen to anything. 😕

I put “Piano Phase” on while we were having our pudding. L grabbed my partner M's spoon and started trying to eat yogurt with both at once. “Ah,” said M, “the Steve Reich approach to eating yogurt.”
