NYSloth

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io I assume this boost of a great thread was inspired not only by the Fourth of July, but because of the lengthy profile of the statue in the New York Times today that made absolutely no mention of Emancipation or the broken shackles used to represent it. The newspaper of record really, really works at such erasure.

@BobHorowitz@sfba.social I remember that episode!

@mlanger@mastodon.world Maybe the real accomplishment is the naps we took along the way.

@janerationx@social.lol @Shards@kind.social I’m disappointed that it didn’t include driving a car with a manual transmission.

@futurebird@sauropods.win As the former elementary school student who chose the flute as his school band instrument, I concur.

@futurebird Pica’s going to want a source for that claim.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Thanks. These were the excommunications I didn’t know I needed.

@sean@skj.social That checks out. At least they didn’t teleport to a Waffle House.

@NorcalGma2 Frog FTW!

@0xabad1dea To framemog someone is to make them look (and feel?) inferior just by showing up next to them with your own significantly larger and more muscular frame. The term leaked out from the weird discourse of the online manosphere, but it happens to my muppet when he hangs out with his Doberman friend. (They adore each other.)

@Jyoti@mas.to Nasty hobbitses!

@robb@social.lol I’m now certified!

@Michigander@toad.social As is right and proper.

@janerationx@mas.to If you could master the "saltum, siffletum, pettum" you might break the Fediverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_the_Farter?wprov=sfti1#

@0xabad1dea Is this what they mean by framemogging?

@mlyon0486@photog.social Great post, Michael!

@WyattTheCatalanSheepdog@mastodon.social Don’t overdo it with the pepperoni, Wyatt. You’ll be thirsty all night. (Also, don’t ask me how Jimmy and I know this.)

@WyattTheCatalanSheepdog@mastodon.social Jimmy’s going to be so jealous!
