Thank you

Incident on 57th Street by Bruce Springsteen, live at the Main Point '75

It’s always hard to gauge, with Bruce (obviously not an unknown but, also, lots of people who’ve only casually listened to him, if even that), but this one’s a live performance for a track that doesn’t get a lot of radio play.

Also a great example of his early storytelling work and great use of violins, to boot. The whole original album is a classic but this one’s great as a one-shot.

I hadn’t; any source, by chance (or summarization, if not)?

I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.

By that argument, it looks like an SD card.

I’d argue that the insanely satisfying stim toy shutter of the floppy keeps it unique, though.

Props for linking to that video; it’s so good.

They really love using

Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me

in the context of abortion.

We were out of spinach (admittedly, I hate lettuce so I usually use spinach, instead) so I subbed in kale for my lunch sandwich, one time. I thought it worked alright, though.

Please put something like this behind a spoiler or something; there are those of us who’ve had that word hurled enough in our daily life that it suddenly appearing while browsing social media is alarm-inducing.

Yeah; exactly. You’re seeing what I’m seeing. Reaffirming (to me) that this idea of ours is a good one.

I doubt I’d have the skill to write it but I’ve long thought something like Etsy could be interesting.

I think the federated nature of the Fediverse could do well to stave off the worst of any spamming.

But the thing I notice the most with independent sellers is that the bulk of what they’re doing is networking, generally amongst friends. Which, really, is the ideal environment for goods and services to be sold.

But, since capitalism always demands the line goes up, places like Etsy inevitably abandon them and making their sites encouraging of that kind of interpersonal connecting in favor of entities which can mass churn products out.

Setting up shops in the fediverse would allow people to easily host their own shops (and not be reliant on the infrastructure of, say, Etsy) and boosting would organically encourage a web of trust since their friend is essentially saying, “I know this person; they’re good.” You could even have the code autotag listings with a hashtag so people can filter out those types of posts, if they don’t want to.

Not sure how you’d handle federation when you first spin up an instance but, still, more alternatives are better than less, I expect.

I dunno; I think it’d be interesting.

Preach.

Now knowing the context, it’s so…Musk-like.

Oh, they won’t realize what I’m doing if I pretend it’s symbolizing my heart going out towards the crowd…

In the pre-Trump world, none. In this administration, I think it’ll barely even register.
