@scanlime I do know that I'm taking an absurdly long time to get to it [puts on t-shirt saying "ask me about my ridiculous life (if you're a masochist)"], but still working towards hosting (or co-hosting) this.

Storage is the big pinch, currently?

The dragons craned their necks down to look at the smallest dragon that had moved to the craggy peaks recently. It had wings, was jet black with sharp obsidian claws. It sat confidently on its equally small pile of shining treasures.

Though it met all the requirements, they needed to make sure it was actually a dragon.

"Answer us this; did you build your hoard yourself?"

“Caw,” it proclaimed proudly.

They all nodded. Definitely a dragon.

@Lana I suspect they're more motivated by the campaign donations than by actually winning.

...and money is the only language the oligarchs know; they don't have anything else to contribute.

Hopefully the oligarchs won't succeed in using the power of money to destroy the election process so they can control it with more money -- because otherwise, they will just keep losing and eventually we will have enough power to do something about them.

@EveHasWords Ima hafta try that one... looks interesting. Also, built-in antifascism seems like a good feature.

@darkling @internetarchive

I was going to ask this too.

Would you like to ride
in my financial balloon?
Don't you want to fly on
my economic boom?
We'll pretend we'll soon be
billionaires, both you and I...

@becomingwisest @Unixbigot If the Enterprise theme song was their only exposure to Earth-human culture, I can understand wanting to maintain a safe distance.

@sargoth Ahh yes... Morbidia, where the shadows lie (or at least tell the truth in very misleading ways -- this of course is why Morbidia was economically developed in the first place: because of its vast untapped reserves of gaslighting)

@becomingwisest @Unixbigot

Oh so many years have gone,
though I'm older but a year --
your mother's eyes
from your eyes
cry to me.

@sargoth I've been trying to cut down on melancholia -- I hear it's bad for your malaise levels.

@rey Either way, it sounds like someone's trying a power-grab of some sort or another.

@hellomiakoda "IRC... now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time..."

@sargoth Is that why they keep popping.

:tootcat: Is anyone else experiencing large quantities of rate-limit warnings on #TootCat?

I've had two different reports from two different users, albeit separated by weeks -- need more information in order to figure out where the problem might be.

I found a math tipped over in the forest.

I will take gender-affirming pizza instead. (The two genders: "plain cheese" and "supreme")

@bookandswordblog

Exactly.
