I may or may not join Pixelfed. I am in no rush, as I’ve already fallen for the “just like $big_thing except (qualifiers that don't matter because what they really want is to be $big_thing_2)” enough times.

Never saw this⭐️ before. Hope it’s good.

⭐️: in the theater

Movie poster in the theater for Princess Bride

I’m old enough to have been too broke to see it first run. Post-birthday gift from Mrs Geek

Saw another preview for the #Minecraft movie and honestly I’m interested. To the best of my knowledge only Jack Black has the energy and charm to make me take the premise – not “seriously” exactly but at some sort of face value.

No he doesn’t look like Steve. I bet somebody asked him to shave. Like, asked him real hard. But somebody who looks like Steve is not enough to make me watch a movie.

(Peak Robin Williams would also been a good “Steve” choice, alas)

@Scmbradley okay real talk?

It looks like a terrible idea. But it also looks like everybody knows it’s a terrible idea, and they’re gonna get shit no matter how the movie turns out, so they are just going to have fun with it anyways.

A billion dollar B movie.

That could still be fun.

I think if I see it in the theater there will be enough good bits to make me not regret my choices.

Got tired of Astro building the 600-page site in 30 seconds, went to my Go + Hugo thing that exports all 1800 pages from my Logseq graph then builds a site from that all in six seconds from export start to build finish.

That was fun.

anyways back to learning javascript and react

I’ve got an idea cooking in my brain where I touch up my Logseq-exporting code to better handle all property links, then instead of transforming to Hugo content I transform it to Org files.

But that’s gotta go near the bottom of the idea heap. Too many other things need doing.

We later tried one where I did a normal human smile.

Approximately.

@IamMrsGeek must love me very much.

@WuMargaret @IamMrsGeek I made her cry

(with laughter)

She got to see a whole bunch of javelinas doing their evening snacking on neighborhood gardens and garbage!

Bouncy Dog made sure we stayed safe by being extremely loud and annoying.

A friend asked what sort of responsibilities the IT training would prepare @IamMrsGeek for.

Me: “Ops, infrastructure, internal support. And telling people to stop clicking that link.”

Friend: “What link?”

Me and @IamMrsGeek in unison: “ANY LINK”
