  • Images aren't displaying.

  • That rendition makes me appreciate Joe Jackson even more!

  • I remember the four or five Pulp singles that came out before Common People.

  • Not on the Enterprise itself, but you can on the shuttle.

  • Well, I'd make another loom-related pun but I have none weft.

  • What a warped sense of humour.

  • Thanks for explaining that, now I can eventually see the OP.

    I want more like the second picture by default (although I wish the tap would take me direct to the OP instead of to the reply and then I have to scroll up).

    I don't want to see a main feed full of replies I don't understand because there's no context and have to decide whether it's worth tapping and scrolling up dozens (hundreds?) of times a day to find out what it's about.

    I want by default to see the OP with replies underneath (perhaps the replies collapsed or collapsible). Then I can decide based on the OP, not guess by the reply, if I want to read through that thread or scroll past to the next.

    Maybe it's cuz I'm new and all the content is new. Once I'm in, perhaps I'll want to see unaccompanied replies. But for now, I want to see OPs first, then replies once I've read the OP.

  • PS Data doesn't need to use his hands to hold the box up.

  • "We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our cultural mosaic."

  • Anyone remember when the Québéc govt wanted to mandate that the hold music on govt phone lines had to be by artists from Québéc?

    Pretty sure it got cancelled once the suicide hotline started playing nothing but Leonard Cohen and William Shatner tracks.

  • Forgot to start with "Hello, bonjour".

  • What next? Data's [REDACTED]?

    3. Data's [REDACTED]

    In Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-94), the character Data was an android designed to be fully functional. Actor Brent Spiner kept his [REDACTED] in this handsome black box, presenting it to visitors, fans and random subway riders until his arrest in 2003.

  • Oh sure, it starts out all fun and games. But it ends in...

  • No Earl Grey, hot, on the table in front of her? Just a highball of [squints at glass on table] watered down Andorian ale?

  • For those who have fallen for the myth of "New" Zealand:

  • Car starts playing "Faith of the Heart", I walk away like it's not mine.

  • Good idea. I wanted to search their Github Issues to see if they already have a request for this but then I realized I don't know the correct technical terms to describe this. "Show OP with replies below directly in timeline"? Or "feed"? Or "home page"? Whatever is the porper Mastodon term for what it shows me when I load the main page.
