"As a rule, I don’t react immediately to large scale mass casualty incidents. Not because I don’t care – but because I know what I am: a social media commentator, miles away from the scene...

Populist far-right agitators don’t seem to share that restraint though."

The perfect metaphor for the fediverse doesn't exis...

Particpant 1:  So the greatest conference experience happened to me last week. They were holding our conference at the same venue as an anime convention. This meant that interspersed with all the stodgy roboticists were a ton of people in awesome costumes! The whimsy was incredible. All conferences should be this way, it was way more fun. 

A photo follows of three  roboticists taking a selfie with a person in a cosplay constume 

Participant 2 (me): This is exactly what Mastodon is like

Just had a mad half hour chomping all the things, my foot included, with her shiny new teeth.

@HipsterDM I'm sorry you went through that. He did speak to me normally as well. I assume that people on the shifts know what he's doing. Hopefully it's just to try to brighten some peoples’ days.

@neil we get them on the regular, usually family groups of 4-6. They're cute but they don't half poop a lot.

There's a fella on our local McDonald's drive through that answers the speaker as if he were a DnD tavern-keeper. I stopped for coffee this morning, he was on a shift, and I was greeted with, ā€œHello fellow human! Are thee using the app?ā€, ā€œOnward to the first window, Sir Jon!ā€.

It kinda always wrong-foots me but I would totally be tempted to do something similar to get me through my shifts at a place like that.

The ever photogenic Elke wanted to make a bold statement. This feels bold. She carries it well @Sarah111well

I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

@LDJ it's hard to tell... the lighting in the photos make it look like it could be either.

@LDJ I love how it can be set up on top of the ball too 🄰

I've got the one thing I needed to do today done, first time I've been reasonably happy with a CV, so I'm going to join in with Software City's ā€œWind Down Wednesday" and go do something not-work.

Looks like the lunch service is on at our overgrown, field mouse buffet.
