This is a good example of a headline that is both accurate and dishonestly misleading. Like if we discovered spitting at a housefire would slow it down more than expected, it's still not preventing it from burning to the ground. It&#x

Don't remember if it made it into the book, but from the radio series my favorite is the scene where they end up in a nightclub filled with dancing mannequins sprayed with sweat in order to convince people it was popular and come in.

Been on Mastodon since November. Signup was done in seconds. Finding people to follow was done gradually. It's lively, and I use it everyday. TBH, I don't really miss the people that don't want to come over.
