North Korea Announces A Whole 'DAMN.' Tour

so who is our dril

I recently re watched the first episode of The Good Wife.

Here is the part that comfort me in these dark time :

«You're going to go home, take a shower, take a nap. Don't turn on the TV. You like reading? I'm going to get you some books. Fiction is best.
You won't feel like it, but put on nice clothes and makeup.
Force yourself to. Not for court for you. It's the superficial things that matter most right now.»

Take care of yourself.

Since I'm moving from mastodon.social to this new instance, I made a bot that I'm running on my old account. It responds to any new followers once, telling them where I've moved. Code is here, feel free to use/modify:

Note: it only works as well as the instance you're migrating from. So in my case, when mastodon.social is janky, the bot doesn't autoreply at all. No guarantees here.

overhearing a conversation at one of the most expensive universities in america about the black market for classes that has emerged. students are generally unable to register in classes they want or need, and resort to paying other students who registered before them for a seat. while paying tuition of course. fuck me.

a "meritocracy" is not necessarily a good thing even in theory but it is hilarious that capitalism apologists claim one exists or could exist under capitalism, the economic system in which power to make decisions is wholly uncoupled from competence

Moby Dick swam swiftly round and round

With news of Unroll.me selling user inbox info to Uber, lots of people are repeating "if you're not paying for it, you're the product."

I've said before, and will continue to say, that that is the wrong formulation. Sometimes you pay for it and you're still the product – look at US ISPs. Sometimes you don't pay for it and you're not the product – free software.

The real question is whether a software or service empowers users, which can't be boiled down to whether you paid.

Having my own Mastodon instance is nice but it's not quite as nice as the Facebook group I created called "People Who Are Me" where I am the only member. https://social.tinysubversions.com/media/_j3m3ZjoVouXSH-wCKA

Not quite the #Cyberpunk future I envisioned

Would be nice to have the timezone of the user next to date/time in the toots.
