Drumming makes people happy and cures aging.
Get yourself an empty family-sized Milo tin or a large hard back book, start drumming, and you’ll get more oxygen to the brain, so you can laugh at vain Death and whoever’s the patron deity of forgetting things.
Encouraged by this second storey view, the nuthook fetched his rod and got to work.
I'm so glad there's a term for this.

The subroutine. The procedure. The P func. Tail recursive and we go to wherever the func takes us. Indirectly threaded and we’re pushing and popping on the return stack, we’ll be right back with your memory intact.
Drop Some Func In Your Thunk (sorry, that’s a callback.)
or maybe a letter-synced hard cross fade between words, maybe I’m thinking about this all wrong.
If you have a compound word where the first word kind of glides melodically into the second word, it is a portamenteau.

I wasn't looking for pandas. I was wondering why /usr/share/dict/words included things like planclastic and pandlewhew, which aren't in Wiktionary, and followed the thread to Webster's New International Dictionary, 2nd ed.
Panda is red (1937) #redpanda
I submit that the discussion about non-consensual art in public spaces should get its priorities in order.
About Me, a pinned post for posterity.
My social media presence scratches an itch first scratched online around 1989. I hung out on Nemesis BBS, and enjoyed going to parties or the 24 hour Pancake Parlour with people from the board, talking about modems and music. I found a nice community here that reminds me of that.
Some stuff I enjoy:
- solidarity
- making music, there's some online: https://soundcloud.com/focl
- programming computers and solving interesting problems
- team sport and immaterial culture wars
- being enthusiastic
- finding a good seat on a long bus ride
Some stuff I don't enjoy:
- undermining human dignity
The Norwegian supporters sitting behind the goal are all wearing red shirts and doing the awesome “huh!” viking row thing, except in the middle there’s one guy in a grey tshirt taking up space and filming them on his camera phone, giving off big Orm from Norsemen vibes. #GetInTheSea #WorldCup
Who first used the phrase “it’s going to come back to bite you,” and were they talking figuratively or literally?
@ivory What if I could make a list of hashtags and pick some colors or patterns for the toot background?
I would love, for example, if I could make "MicroFiction"/"TootFic" tagged toots more visually obvious, especially as they're boosted into my feed by accounts that post generally non-fiction.
I don't want to mute the hashtag because I generally enjoy them, but some authors put the tags at the end of their post, and it's continually frustrating to read posts that start plausibly and finish with a twist -- it's like the worst part of April Fool's Day but every day.
edit: I was looking for this excellent thread
Yes way! #signs
Next time there’s a weirdo tolerating rally we should go and hand out “bring back common sense. bring back usenet.” stickers and zines.
They could announce that the video referee is checking something with a bit more dramatic flair. The crowd are cheering a goal, but then the big screen goes black and the VAR logo pops up as the stadium speakers play the Law and Order sting. DUN DUN! Now we’ve got your attention! Get the creative team behind whatever series of Big Brother was the most chaotic.
The spectacle of waiting for the VAR decision could also be taken up a notch. Instead of just waiting for a behind the scenes decision, they should produce it as full on count room drama, and show it on the big screen. Imagine the cheer when the gavel falls and the judge says “Goal.”
