"What profit is there in agreeing that universal friendship is good, and talking of the solidarity of the human race as a grand ideal? Unless these thoughts are translated into the world of action, they are useless.
The wrong in the world continues to exist just because people talk only of their ideals, and do not strive to put them into practice. If actions took the place of words, the world's misery would very soon be changed into comfort."
Half-baked take of the day: A social network is only as good as its collective ethos.
In other words, a mish-mash of randos with wildly varying intentions and contradictory ethical foundations is very different from a mish-mash of randos who share some kind of common purpose and guiding beliefs. #ethics

@blackjacktony How's it going good sir?
Just a gentle reminder that if you like cute animal pics, computer science talk, and calm, reasonable discussions about the finer points of ethics, #MastodonSandwich could be your next home. 🏡 #MastoMonday

I could use some of that good old internet beatnik poetry from tee dot bee right about now
The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the square of the sum of your tax returns from the last ten years
...at this point, half of the tweaks I make are just adding new in-jokes.
Making some tweaks to @xyzzy, as usual.
