There aren’t many hills I’m willing to die on, but “pie is better than cake” happens to be one of them. Happy #NationalPieMonth Hope you all find time to celebrate this month.

Everyone thinks, haha, these squirrels don't even remember where they hid 90% of the nuts they store for the winter they are so dumb, but nobody ever asks if the squirrels might be out there thinking, my ancestors planted this forest that provides for us all, and my children's children will know the same of me.

I was going to throw this old Wok away, but Five had other plans. Fur omelette, anyone? #catsofmastodon #gingercat

There's lots of noise in SF about homeless folk "refusing shelter" and "They want to live in tents!" And that we should force them to accept the shelter against their own will, "for their own good!" Many SF folks rationalize their desire to not see homeless people, by convincing ourselves that refusing shelter is an irrational behaviour, and that we know better.

We don't consider the fact that people might be refusing shelter when that shelter is worse than a tent.

@jmichaelward It’s a great game! I have a physical copy, but I didn’t know it was on BGA, as well.

Today in 2001, #Windows XP, was 💰released💸 to everyone

At the time, the #OpenSource alternatives would have been #KDE 2 before there was a Plasma, #GNOME 1 when the G was still pronounced "Guh," and #Xfce 3 when it was still breaking away from CDE

@ArnoldBooker I kinda like this Baron Corbin, I just wish they’d let him win more.
