@maloki it’s pasta with olive oil and garlic! (garlic just to the point where it’s golden and slightly sweet, not with the sharp taste of raw, or the bitterness of burnt garlic. if you’re feeling indulgent, sprinkle with red pepper flakes or parsley (red/white/green for italy!), but never, under no circumstance, with cheese.

@maloki yum!
food and simple and gourmet always makes my mind immediately jump to spaghetti aglio e olio because damn, such a beautifully reduced recipe.

@gingerrroot oh god, this! if peripherals and stuff could just look plain and functional, please, and not like something marketed to a 14 year old with bad taste.

@Are0h well, i’m actually about to. in a very literal sense. going climbing later, and i have new climbing shoes.

these make me want to come up with a corporate aesthetic for hell, and design these as plausible-looking work safety posters: https://www.oglaf.com/safety-signs-hell/

@Are0h omg, and i thought me finding a feminist, tolkien-fan, athmospheric black metal band called feminazgul was the highlight of the day: https://twitter.com/edgedestroys/status/1021983410359881730

@mawr apparently, he’s already out, and in a neat as heck manner, too: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/398893-man-who-vandalized-trumps-walk-of-fame-star-bailed-out-by-guy?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true

@noahbradley welcome to the fediverse! <3

@caraellison @densetsunogomez fuckin’ A!

@thegibson @caraellison yeah, same here. i guess you need to be able to read ‘hero’ only as the ultimate showdown winner by superior power, and disregard the entire rest of the film?

@densetsunogomez @caraellison that’s kind of a giveaway. ;) plus, when narrative causality forces that parallel between vader’s machine body/your own machine hand, and who vader is/who you are, right in that moment, on you, it should get your gears going, too.

@caraellison same. i was sitting there and just staring.

@caraellison right? i saw a thread on birdsite recently, elaborating on how bros interpret luke not killing vader in ROTJ as an act of mercy after having asserted his power.

like, jfc, i thought *i* was dense with interpreting shit.

today: archery with friends, then food with friends, then nerding out over (mostly) archaeology with friends.

@BobTarte awww, look at this cute floof! it looks like a cousin to the soot sprites in spirited away!

@maloki ugh, i hear you. exercising has been lousy for several weeks, all because it’s just way too hot.

it just turns everything into an ordeal.

@maloki pretty ok so far. i slept in (#nightowllife), sunk some time into general internet-lazing-about, now working on a small project plan, and doing a little work later, probably around midnight or so.

@nico yeah, i remember that… walkie-talkies were a weird mix of exhilaration because we could listen in on truckers, but for some reason, the dreams of giant split-party coordinated action never really came true.

and yeah, i deliberately don’t have a cell phone, so phone-calling happens whenever email doesn’t fit the bill.

@Are0h oh hell yes.

@maloki amanda is amazing. <3
