Sacrifice just one meal, ride our whalebus like Jonah: Through its transparent belly, witness orca hunts, spy on Atlanteans, see the Kraken
stars drop out of the sky not like shooting stars but like raindrops from a branch, quietly falling and then bursting into many small sparks
a universe with lots of small minds just intelligent enough to question existence is anthropically more likely than one with a few big minds

something like “lmaoooo” then sounds like the voice subroutine crashed and is looping through the ring buffer
I like to imagine that when people repeat letters in txtspk, their voice is being sampled to say the same word over and over again

I’d like to report a defect, this storm is broken. It’s leaking water and the light is flickering all the time
But don’t end up like the last guy, who spilled a 1 and was cast out, with no way in again https://twitter.com/allgebrah/status/869328213692043264/photo/1
kids sitting in the school bus, sharing neural links like their parents once shared earbuds
Northern mermaids are round and plump like seals, with layers of fat to keep the cold out. Way less seductive, but also way less extinct
This far from the disk, it appears like a cat’s pupil in the sun, opening and closing as it spins
a small household robot that does nothing but fix cable messes, likes to rest in your box of obscure cables where it has a nest
If you pet them in the right places, they’d purr and open secret passages, crafty people liked to hide stuff in there↵↵It was kinda gross
Coinworlders have a turn of phrase, calling things “as likely as ten days”, while theologists debate whether the world can land on its edge.
They cannot sing because they have no breath, but the wind catches in strategically placed holes and plays them like so many flutes
And i liked @dave@davebucklin.com’s version so much, i copied his banner. Maybe i should create a empty twtfile with the banner in #txtnish quickstart :)
Imagine, some would distribute their feeds in an archive like https://domgoergen.com/twtxt/twtfiles.tar.gz. And more files would be signed.
The latest #txtnish will check the url key to change the twturl you’re following. Like an inline 304.
@dave@davebucklin.com Have you checked https://github.com/jarun/Buku, the highly delicious bookmark manager? I really like it!
Those petrified by the basilisk don’t die, only slow down greatly. Around them, civilizations rise and fall, mountains roll like waves
New stuff in #txtnish: Better argument parser, automatic url rewriting for redirects and a new silly mode that let you share urls like @kas@enotty.dk
@kas@enotty.dk And it looks like dat also supports mdns for local discovery and custom bootstrap servers. Too bad though.
a bonsai planet likes companionship. get more and add them to the system. happy planets will eventually spawn moons
CARE AND FEEDING OF BONSAI PLANETS:↵give it a bright light to orbit. a lightbulb will do↵breathe on one and it’ll likely catch life. careful
the protective coating on your keyboard is failing, letters spread up your fingers like a rash
Does anybody have a opinion about linking to single tweets via the mention syntax like @mdom@domgoergen.com?
“Chris, I think the floating eyeballs creep out the citizens, what if we put them in, like, a huge benevolent face”↵”With a dozen eyes, yes”
Newer UFO generations deploy memetic camouflage, invariably appearing like bad photoshops when caught on digital media
@durcheinandr@durcheinandr.de Sorry, no idea then. I have a ticker with news agencies like dpa, afp etc. at work but that’s more like a firehose.
A small whirlwind followed you home months ago. It’s become a constant companion, likes to sleep near your laptop’s air exhaust to recharge
because words like “sublime” lose their strength after the 12th last.fm comment in a row
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Looks like a gadget for a villain.
@dave@davebucklin.com, @kas@enotty.dk I thought about propsing “There is no maximum length of a message. Clients should show at least 140 characters of a tweet after collapsing the mentions.” Or something like that.
I recently tried to write a command like client to GNU social, but after reading the specs on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon i soon lost interest… :)
There are so many alternatives like ipfs or scuttlebutt, but i fear that we loose the simplicity of the old protocols. That in my mind is the main attraction of twtxt.

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I like the visualization of the timeline. A static timeline of we-are-twtxt would be cool!
@kas@enotty.dk Fermented slimy soybeans sounds like a hard sell. Maybe something you have to taste? :)
@allgebrah@www.synkretie.net I like the photo story!
@kas@enotty.dk Heh, cool video but it sounds like a bug? https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/5yeefj/alexa_are_you_connected_to_the_cia/depeufn/
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Is you page publicly accessable? Maybe i should add exporting to html to #txtnish, seems like a thing many users wan to to?
Really liked A Closed and Common Orbit, nice to read a scifi story about character development! Next book: Arkwright by Allen Steele
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net Something cut of your link? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/australian-childrens-author-mem-fox-detained-by-us-border-control-i-sobbed-like-a-baby
TIL git checkout - works like cd - and checks out the last branch you were on.

moths attracted by darkness flock in their shadows, trail after them like dresses in strong wind
Turned to their sides, like gates, they’re transparent and her mind is in full view. Thoughts flit around like fish, peer at you curiously
