Now and Then
Noun then Verb:
"To loan a person money" has largely supplanted "to lend a person money".
Our use of language changes. Nouns get used as verbs.
Life is like that.
beacon
/ˈbiːk(ə)n/
noun
1 A fire or light set up in a high or prominent position as a warning, signal, or celebration.

==========
GPS satellites have effectively replaced beacons, though lighthouses are still common and tall antennas continue to warn aircraft with flashing lights.

yiddish question: is this the right way to say "never again for anyone"?

I'm bent on trying to touch my toes.
Should a BDSM establishment be called "The House of Whacks"?
Hello everyone !
📢 🔴 URGENT 🔴
An awesome software is dying, because its #developper has not time anymore to care of it.
It's an alternative of Adobe AfterEffect : Natron (https://natrongithub.github.io/)
Please, can Mastodon community search for a C++ dev, which want to maintain it ? or search for a company which work with free software ? It's very important.
Boost very appreciated
Thanks in advance for your contribution !

Stay warm.
Buy a hoodie.
I know, I know... It's like 90f right now... but these won't ship until the end of September... and that is right before October.
Get your spookoweenie hacker gear.
It's warm.
It's got weird symbols.
It's got dead languages.
It'll make you more good looking.
37 hoodies sold.
If we hit 50, new server hardware!
1 day left.
Either way the EFF gets a nice payday out of this too.

A shallow breath,
Perhaps another.
How close to death
Dear, sweet brother?
Bizarre thoughts
For a morning,
Of graveyard plots...
Perhaps a warning?
Maybe only maudlin
Rhyme-filled ideas
As I sit dawdlin'; my
Mind sets free; as
One word flows out
And another one comes;
So full of weird doubt
My psyche hums.
Turn attention away
To ideas more happy,
To dawn and bright day
Not midnight, all crappy.
Get the car washed.
Buy some new clothes.
Dark rhymes, be quashed!
Write some bright prose.
Post about a pol?
What about a pool?
Or maybe a pole,
Perhaps a poll.
Too hard to choose.
I'll just take a snooze.
Don't give up hope!
DUCK!
Marginally safer to sit on it than a smartphone, of course.
