In Windows this morning, where of course the most natural thing in the world my brain settles on? Configuring Emacs.

@tk that really is the insult added to the injury.

Who knew our supervillains would be so tacky?

Keeping my YouTube recommendations correctly tuned.

Oh hey that’s a pun.

Mainly wanted to configure Denote and my Emacs config in Windows was least destroyed by my FAFO-ness.

But I fixed that today.

@genehack don’t forget the granola / antivax reactionary overlap.

This dog is a cat.

Anyone who still thinks anonymity is a factor in modern racism has clearly forgotten about Facebook.

Which — I get it. I try to forget about Facebook too. But not when it’s such a concrete counterpoint.

@RetweetableN14 @thegibson I don’t know you yet, but same! Any friend of @thegibson is a friend of mine. Probably. Look I’m reasonably sure just you know laws of probability and all that.

But I’m glad you’re here!

@WuMargaret oh they do not like him at all, though they are slowly getting used to him.

Partly because he’s starting to calm down when they’re around. Initially, he thought they want to play when they just wanted to sniff noses.
