âMake it rain, old man, make it rain one last timeââ”There is thunder but no clouds, instead the night sky lights up with meteors
also known as time flies, their imagos feed on unnoticed seconds and will for example lurk near engrossed readers, antennae extended
social network that lets you search users by emotional state so that you can binge on certain emotions in times of need
At night, your maidbot often sneaks away. One time, you follow it and find an android coven in a warehouse, chanting in near-ultrasound
@reednj@twtxt.xyz I think this would be the first time two clients implement the same #metadata format.
@kas@enotty.dk The worst about dst? My daughter just wakes up exactly one hour earlier. I think adults adjust faster to time changesâŠ
In the paradise timeline, nobody ever suffers. But every time it branches, yet another former paradise finds out: God has left them.
Maybe we shouldnât add time sensitive metadata. Maybe # following = https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/mdom.txt https://enotty.dk/twtxt.txt âŠ
@quite@lublin.se There is even a section rfc7234 about heuristic expiration times: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7234#section-4.2
@phil@philmcclure.duckdns.org I canât imagine a simpler time format than rfc3339. I would be fine with just using utc or unix time, but i donât think most people could write that without a client⊠:)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net What do you mean by time based? I added syncing with we-are-twtxt in 6c2038 but it simply compares the result against the last run?
what if earth is hollow AND flat at the same time â”what then
This will be configurable in the future but thatâs enough coding for one night, time computation is weird.
When you are a long time android user, iOS can be super frusterating
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Take a look at dns resolv times. This was a major pita with txtnix.
An intelligent person
From Twitter:
The most amazing thing about the Trump presidency is that itâs made GWB look like a reasonably intelligent person.
â Derek Powazek (@fraying) February 27, 2017
And from The New York Times:
Former President George W. Bush said Monday âwe all need answersâ on the extent of contact between President Donald Trumpâs team and the Russian government, and didnât ⊠â Read more
Slow down subjective time enough and a forest becomes a chlorophyll fire with wooden bones. And indeed, theyâre like bonfires to the gods.
a thin static crackle like headphones unplugging, then the sound of the world cuts out and you hear the machinesâ low hum for the first time
The silence of the hacks
There is a reason why I subscribed to the digital edition of The New York Times. Its journalists are superb; it is a paper I trust, and have found to be veridical after cross referencing the news they post with other major, equally trusted, news sources.
From yesterdayâs edition (some emphasis mine):

My newest pet peeve is that after some time i canât open any menues in firefox: menubar, righ click, statusbar etc
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Had you time to work on your BBGW yet?
Incapable of serving
From the opinion pages of The New York Times yesterday, 13 of February, 2017, also appearing in print today. Some emphasis mine.
Mr. Trumpâs speech and actions demonstrate an inability to tolerate views different from his own, leading to rage reactions. His words and behavior suggest a profound inability to empathize. Individuals with these traits distort reality to suit their psychological state, attacking facts and those who convey them (journalists, scientists).

Decode It Like Itâs 1999
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript. Now, I finally found the time to clean up the library, improve its performance, make it more error resilient and modular and add an MP2 Audio decoder and MPEG-TS demuxer. This makes this library not just an MPEG decoder, but a full video player.
In this blog post I want to talk a bit about the challenges and various interesting
bits I discovered during the development of this library. Youâll ⊠â Read more
Motto: We make the doomsday clock show the time
But publishing takes a long time, maybe I fork a detached subprocess to handle that. Mhh. Youâve been warned. #ipfs
I upload a version of #txtnix with that feature as soon as i have some time to clean up the code
Unpresidential
Not presidential at all.
âPresident-elect Donald J. Trumpâs aides often cite his appearances at professional wrestling matches as an inspiration for his outsize political speaking style, and his buoyantly belligerent news conference in New York on Wednesday proved he has no plans to betray his brawlerâs roots in the service of seeming more presidential.â

any plot with time travel will either be about time travel, or people will complain that the time travel bit was random
Ink, time, solitude, cooked under lamplight, yield myth, a potent hallucinogen. One recognizes addicts by their shy demeanor, haunted stares
âTime is a river and some of us can afford to pay the ferrymanâ are the last words he hears before the building collapses around him.
Dust devils are wild hourglasses. Free from glass and gravity, they tell a more chaotic time, turbulent, full of loops, untamed by clocks
The bomb still hangs in the air where the missile shield froze it in a drop of time. Weâve come to call the garden below it Damocles Park.
the sun refracts through a time crystal, throws three-dimensional caustics onto space, quiet prismatic light birds that swarm, ripple, morph
We tried protos suits, really. But time in pocket realities runs differently. Those that we recovered contained desiccated corpses at best.
In the time it took you to read this, this optical nerve exploit has already replaced itself with an innocuous tweet.
Accelerate an object for an imaginary time and it gains negative energy; an unprotected gaze and its imaginary impulse may derail your mind.
One of the clockâs hands points into the room. It shows imaginary time, root of and key to negative time.
The trickster crow was once a great musician, but that one time it was tricked itself, it gave up its gift to us. We left only its caw.
Here, you need your own way around time. Mice, to escape pre-daters, burrow in inert sand. Near dust devils, youâll sometimes meet yourself.
A hourglass broke and created this desert of dead time. Its sandstorms are hungry eternities, nothing but skeleton dust has ever left them.
now we add some acid and wait for the time crystals to precipitate ~ see light and thoughts be captured and make them ring with resonance
secret to immortality is to destroy anything else that could eat you, including other people, bacteria, entropy and time
âOne day, my dearâ, says the valkyrie, âyou may enter TĂœnhall, to dine with the forgotten. But your time has not come. Go back.â
Swords of the gods:â”Dayâs Edge, forged from a stolen morningâ”Zahn der Zeit, wrested from timeâs maw itselfâ”Distinction, leaves nothing whole
solid time, frozen and may trap you but also brittle, can be hammered into daggers that stop hearts, fill caskets that preserve loved ones
aggregate states of time:â”liquid, which flowsâ”gaseous, where causality dissolves and temporal eddies dance but leave heavy things unmoved
The mob hunts down the gynoid and burns her at the stake. He watches, helpless. Her plastic face melts and for a short time, she can cry
