Since I've moved to a new instance, I think should reintroduce myself.
My name is Matt, and I'm a 45 year old gay man living in Indiana. I've worked in tech for about the last 20 years. I like to call myself a classically trained systems administrator ... whatever that is.
I've got several hobbies (because one cannot have enough interests, in my opinion) that I like to waste my money on, and I absolutely love to talk about all of them!
Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 9220 8028 4340! #pokemongo
Never forget this one beautiful moment that almost united the world. That moment when JigglyPuff showed up on American Idol:
No lunar eclipse for me tonight because of all the clouds and rain; otherwise, we'd be able to see it here. #LunarEclipse
This place not being algorithm-driven is great because I'm not addicted to it and don't feel compelled to come here and doomscroll for hours and use it as a self-destructive escape from real life
But at the same time it's also incredibly easy to just be like "Mastodon? Oh shit, I haven't been on there in WEEKS!"
and you know what? I'm starting to think that's a feature, not a bug.

I’ve really enjoyed Techdirt’s commentary on the whole Elon/Birdsite situation.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Doesn't Uhura's singing remind you of anything? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZu5f3mdh9Y
