Me, reading George Orwell's 1984: "Wow, this is just like 1984."

@suricrasia Happy Birthday! 🦈

@dbt Ah yes, I forget about the series of tubes.

@mattl Set that thing to 1 * * * * already.

What's with email newsletters always telling me it might take weeks to process my unsubscribe request?

It's a database, just remove me from it. It takes literally milliseconds.

@ahorsewearsajortsofcourse MoPOP is a consistently excellent experience. I maintained a membership from back when it was called the Experience Music Project (EMP) and only lapsed during the pandemic.

One of the few tourist spots that I enjoy coming back to repeatedly as a local.

I used to be an annual pass member at Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), and one of the perks was getting to skip ahead of the general admission line for day passes.

Showed up one day to see a new exhibit, and got assaulted by a Karen who was absolutely furious that I "skipped her and her whole family" in the general admission line.

She got escorted away by security in front of her family, and I got a bunch of free shit.

10/10, would skip in line again. Renewing next time I go.

Do you have 11 minutes to spare, and don't mind sobbing?

Okay, some notes since I didn't test this exhaustively before I posted about it:

The filter above works pretty well, but I found it to be a bit more effective to fitler "RT" without the "@", and the also filter "twitter.com", which will also filter any link to Twitter.

But if you're here to get away from Twitter, that should really do the trick.

@ameliashowalter I am discovering that this isn't a perfect solution, but I'm working on improving the formula.

Seems not to work when you use the app...

Better than nothing tho.

@dfeldman Me on my single-user instance.

Shamelessly plugging my own site now, where you can generate 50-video YouTube playlists of Demoscene content, sorted by type, including 4k and 64k: https://www.prods.page/

I'll keep updating this thread in the future with more of my favorites. Might start a separate Wild thread too.

As always, you can download this one: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=54538

Another favorite 4k of mine: Fan_tastic - Rebels & Alcatraz
