Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
Is there a concept of an #ActivityPub hub?
I’m thinking long-term it would be cool to have my own federated microblog, full blog, and photo gallery, using the most appropriate software for each, but present them as accounts on a single hostname instead of having to do a separate subdomain for each.
I saw a T-shirt today with the slogan:
Chemically speaking, whiskey is a solution.
@offtheball I’m always amused by the dancing around they do in that exchange to get around the censors.
Though considering they managed to get “You’re out of your Vulcan mind!” on the air in another episode…
Now that @pixelfed is close to supporting federation, I’m considering how I want to handle photos with my various Fediverse accounts.
I feel like this place is more for the artistic shots (successful or otherwise), while I can post anything random/interesting at @KelsonV. Other images, or photos that need more commentary, maybe should go on @KelsonV?
The cool thing is if something fits in 2 places, I can post in the more specific one and boost it to the other!
*sigh* Consistent identity across servers vs. servers getting truncated when displaying usernames…
I’m thinking here for artistic photos, pixelfed for random photos, and Wandering Shop (my main Mastodon profile) for screencaps, pics that need commentary, etc
Stumbled on a link to this in another article. I was literally planning to use this feature to set up a list sometime this week that I could use to narrow down the FB firehose when I only have a few minutes, in hopes that I might actually keep up with at least some of my friends instead of avoiding Facebook because I’m so far behind.
So much for that idea.

Finally spotted the plant whose spiky seeds keep puncturing bike tires. It’s a low, creeping mat that can grow right next to the path and spread onto it, and the seeds grow in clusters. The dried seeds’ spikes punch straight through, sometimes to the inner tube.
Unfortunately I have no idea what it is, since it doesn’t match my previous guess (sand burr / sand spur) from what I can tell.
@abetterjulie Yes, that looks like it. Thanks!

And damn, puncture vine is an accurate name…
Spotted at the county fair last night:
Deep fried Twinkie dogs and Zucchini Weenies have been joined by triple-decker donut burgers, chicken-in-a-waffle-on-a-stick, and the donut chicken and ice cream sandwich. But for sheer “because we can” ridiculousness: deep-fried filet mignon. What a waste.
…
@janellecshane This is all I can remember seeing off the top of my head at other food booths:
Deep fried Oreo
Oreo Churros
Deep Fried Snickers
PB&J Sriracha Funnel Cake
Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream Sundae
Gouda, Bacon and Jalapeno Grilled Cheese
Ravioli on a Stick
Gouda and Ravioli Grilled Cheese

I’m a hobbyist photographer in the Los Angeles area. I mostly go for scenic #photography, nature or architecture. I also look for funny/odd sights, and cosplay photos at comic conventions.
My main Mastodon account is @KelsonV, and I also talk about books & comics at @KelsonReads

#reintroductions #introductions Hello, my name is Kelson. I’m a computer programmer in the #LosAngeles area. I like #scifi, #fantasy & #comics (behind on a lot, keeping up w/ #TheFlash, Saga & #JessicaJones). I tend to talk about #webdevelopment and #tech, and I still have a #blog.
I also talk about #books at [edit: @KelsonReads@Bookwyrm.social ] & post scenic #photography at @kelsonv
Saw this on birdsite:
Scientists Slowly Reintroducing Small Group Of Normal, Well-Adjusted Humans Into Society
ITHACA, NY—In an ambitious attempt to revive a population long considered to be on the brink of extinction, scientists announced Friday they have slowly begun to reintroduce normal, well-adjusted human beings back into society.
Listened to the latest episode of the #LesMiserables Reading Companion. Up to the introduction of Patron-Minette & the “Jondrette” family.
1. Wow, the callback to the miner’s candlestick from back in Digne (lost in the Denny translation).
2. I hadn’t made the connection between Éponine’s 1st & Fantine’s last appearances.
3. Three times through the book & I never caught on to the implications of just how far Thénardier goes in exploiting his daughters. Ugh.

This popped up on a flashback post today. Back in 2009 I was exploring a disused railroad spur in an industrial park and found this 3.5″ floppy disk just sitting there.
The tracks have since been ripped out. This section was turned into a walkway for a commuter train station on the main tracks a couple hundred feet behind this spot.

I caught up on Flash War and its aftermath. I feel like it could have been epic, but ultimately was just a way to break up the Flash family and set up the new Forces.
That’s a problem I’m having with DC Comics lately: Stories don’t feel like they start from the characters and new threats picking up where the previous story left off, they feel like they’re working backward from where everything needs to be to set up the next story and finding a way to get there.
It’s been like that for a while. It was a problem with Flash: Rebirth, with Countdown, with Full Throttle. I sort of feel like the early New 52 escaped the problem and built more organically, at least some of the books I was reading. But those kept getting cancelled.
If you compare Final Crisis to Metal, they’re both similar in structure: cosmic threat turns earth into a nightmare between panels, the heroes seek help from the multiverse to restore the world. But Final Crisis *finishes.* Metal sets up the alloys, the Challengers & Hawks, the crack in the Source Wall. It’s more like COIE in the way it works hard to set things up for the coming year(s) of stories.
7YO is experimenting with HTML and Notepad++: “There. Now I can see the crulfs.”
Me & wife: “Crulfs?”
I look over at the screen. “Oh, CRLFs!”
@Einahpets Same here. I go for the porters and stouts, my wife goes for the IPAs, and waiters often switch them when they bring the glasses to the table.
I saw a new Lamborghini this morning, gliding through traffic like an orange cross-section of airfoil, barely inches off the road. Behind it rolled up a raised F-150 pickup truck, tires almost as high as the car in front of it.
Suddenly that airfoil looked more like a mobile speed bump.
@nev @DialMforMara Yep…and now they’ve got you back while you write that link post, and they can try to keep you there long enough to see some ads before you go.
It’s amazing how desperate FB is to keep you engaged. If I’ve been away for 24 hours, they start sending me “So and so posted something! Don’t you want to look?”
