As a quick plee from the good folks here on #MastodonAppUK and #Universeodon - If you like what we're doing here and want to support the instance and my ability to consume caffine and work at gone midnight I would really appreciate your support.

Nights like tonight where I won't get home now for another 2 or so hours and probably won't be doing a lot of my main consulting work tomorrow has a pretty significant impact on my own finances. If you're in a position to support what we do and think you're getting a good deal with this whole no ads social media thing we're doing here, please do consider supporting the work we're building here!

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

from ex-bsky-staff rationalist who turned a bot loose on bsky and demanded people take it seriously:

you should not use "clanker" because the basilisk might take offence
