The Mastodon web app has subtly changed the way their advanced interface works w/r/t seeing my own replies and I am now doing my bi-yearly "Are there other interfaces I might like better?" quest. Real...

Mr. Blue is inexplicably watching that "He-Man" movie that recently came out, and I'm confused because Skeletor seems like a jerk and he's totally cool and chill here. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d...

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... the He-Man movie depicts Skeletor when he was still on X. He’s chilled out considerably since he left.

(Not gonna lie -- I kind of like Texas Roadhouse. Their steaks are good, and they have a good variety of sizes.)

@nprofile1q... what’s your opinion of their free bread? I’ve never been, but I read the massive article in the Atlantic about free bread, so my curiosity is piqued.

Mr. Blue is doing his traditional 4th of July viewing of the last third of "Independence Day." He decided to forgo his traditional 4th of July sweaty run on the Mall.

@nprofile1q... he doesn’t want to go to the fair??

Tomorrow is the day Mr. Blue receives his Book of Racy Photos from the Super Seekrit Photo Shoot. And ... I'm nervous. What if he doesn't like them? What if he thinks it's weird? I'm too anxious to be...

@nprofile1q... there’s been so much buildup in this tale that I feel very invested in its outcome.

It's like you turn 50, and it's all of a sudden, "FUCK YEAH DAVE BRUBECK."

Andrew Abdalian @Andrew Abdalian 1778354257

@nprofile1q... am...am I 50?? Have I been 50 this whole time‽

Ugh: "On Facebook, comments about the shot include: “Don’t do it!” “Huge lie!” and “It’s a scare tactic.” One person wrote, “Never will I ever inject my baby with poisons from big ph...

@nprofile1q... yes, we must all join together to fight Big Vitamin.

It’s a sad irony that some of these people extol the value of unproven supplements and homeopathic “medicine”.

Did I tell you guys that my trombone-playing nephew has chosen to attend Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y.? That's going to be quite the climate shift -- the kid has never lived anywhere but ...

Also, it's definitely NOT vintage unless you consider plates from 2006 or so to be "vintage." (Absolutely not.)

@nprofile1q... This is the best thread I've read all week. I absolutely love hearing stories like this. I feel like most of these people are archetypes that I've run into, either in my personal life, or in my former life as an Apple Store Genius. I find these stories comforting.

Have you ever wondered why some names just feel "right" while others don't? There's actual science behind it called "sound symbolism." We cover Plato's "Cratylus," Darwin's theories, and modern resea...

@nprofile1q... I don’t understand why a therapist wouldn’t make strategically-placed cat sightings an integral part of their practice!
