  RE: https://mastodon.social/@gwynnion/116924755937556459 This is actually the start of a whole thread. And you should read it.

  Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer. Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age. I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today. And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, fr...

  It's not enough that #trans people are welcome with you. The transphobes have to be *unwelcome*. These people must be challenged, corrected and shunned for what they say and do. It doesn't matter to me if they're your co-workers, friends or even family. You've noticed the hate out there, right? It's rampant and only getting worse. If you want to be my ally, please realize that I need someone willing to be my advocate. Not just someone to provide me shel...

  Long rant incoming... I hadn't looked at the BIO text field of my own Mastodon profile on the Web in quite awhile. Long ago I formatted it with one extra carriage return between each paragraph to increase legibility. But now it's rendered as a compressed, hard to read single blob with no vertical spaces. WTF?!? Why is Mastodon taking away my agency and butchering my typography? Is this going to happen to our posts next? This insulting and unnecessary change needs to be backed...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@gwynnion/116477810891150213 This thread is 🔥so you must read it now.

  Just checked stock market futures and everything is heading down, on a elevator to Hell as the prophet Hudson put it. Is this anything to be concerned about? Depends on whether you want to believe Trump, who's sending failson JD back to negotiate, or the Iranians, who say they won't be at the table. But don't worry. Trump will just make some shit up in the morning to spike the market and enrich his cronies and family. Again. What a time to be alive.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/116428344689156338 You owe it to yourself to read this whole thread because the judgement by His Honor Mustafa T. Kasubhai is absolute fire! 🔥 And it gives me hope. Fingers crossed when it inevitably reaches the (un)Supreme Court and it's unserious members.

  It has been brought to my attention that I've used the vulgar and offensive term "motherfuckers" in two recent posts to describe various classes of people. And that is, of course, because I'm a stickler for both clarity and precision when referring to techbros and transphobes. Which means I should acknowledge that usage count is now three posts. And to further clarify, while I'm sorry if someone told you there wouldn't be any math today, I am not sorry for anything e...

  RE: https://masto.ai/@transworld/116422911533853918 Just in case it's not obvious to cis folks here, this is a death sentence for #transgender people in the U.S. if these motherfuckers are successful. Do *NOT* let them take this first step. That's why we need your help to fight this bullshit. Together. ✊🏳️‍⚧️

  When I read this a few days ago I realized that it's possible the same thing is gonna happen to me if I live long enough. I mean, it's good to have goals, right? https://www.gamesradar.com/games/police-visit-91-year-old-woman-who-missed-check-in-calls-only-to-find-her-playing-video-games-in-her-bedroom-and-trying-to-beat-her-record/ #Gaming #GameDev

  I think it's so precious when techbros try #mansplaining Web browsers, video transcoding or game development to me. My dudes, it's likely I've been programming longer than you've been alive. And transitioning didn't somehow make me ignorant, motherfuckers.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/116403744095800752 Again, another banger thread you should read in its entirety. Yes, now.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton/116405659033229573 Overall response to this post was positive and resulted in some useful discussions about how to customize our feeds here on Mastodon. Which is exactly what I hoped. Thank you, awesome friends! 💖 Of course, some took exception to me using "jackhole techbro" to describe another person. I stand by what I wrote so I won't bother defending it. I will, however, point out that it was extremely useful in identifying the few jac...

  Recently I read a post by some jackhole techbro who wants a default automatic feed algorithm here just like Big Social™. Opening the door for AI bullshit is not even the worst part of this idea. Folks, all of us here ARE the algorithm. Personal curation is a feature, not a bug. We make Mastodon awesome by following people and boosting what we find meaningful, significant or just cool. That's how it works. Let's keep making friends. Let's keep sharing. Let's keep Mastodon aliv...

  Trump is attacking the Pope again on his Toy Social. Somebody really needs to take grandpa's phone away. Now. Christ (and maybe the Pope) only knows who he'll go after in the middle of the night. Better bogart little Donny's Adderall, too. Thank Dog we have a good Catholic warrior like JD around to defend the papacy. Yes yes, my eyes are rolling so hard right now it's painful. This continues to not only be the worst timeline ever, but the stupidest.

  RE: https://mefi.social/@MissConstrue/116336602637066860 This. 💯

  Good night, Mastodon. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116389416128065655 Ben's description is spot on and everybody needs to listen to this video of Will Hollingsworth now. I said NOW, dammit!

• Post #1080490

  I had a chat with a new friend today who I requested to follow. They wanted to know if I expected a follow back. Let me be clear... If I follow you, you are not obligated to follow me. And if you do follow me, it's okay to mute my firehose of boosts, mute me entirely or even unfollow me later. I don't unfollow people for any of that. In fact, I sometimes encourage it. It's *your* feed. But I will unfollow if you're a NAZI, TERF or MAGA asshole. Even I have my limits. Thanks,...

• Post #1056230

  Everyone knows I rarely post, right? So why did I start typing yesterday? To find more cool people to follow! Who I can then boost so you can find them too. Seriously. Most of my new followers lately are either bots or "junk" accounts. Following those back? Not a good idea. But real people, just like you, faved that post of mine! Which allowed me to find at least 100 new friends, that I wasn't following already. I still need to follow more, but it's a start. Thank you all....

  (Lisa looks at the stock market tickers to see if there's any sense to capitalism as we know it...) Woof. I have no idea what Wall Street is inhaling, but that's some good shit.

• Post #1043377

  Just in case you were wondering, I haven't run out of toots to boost. In fact, that's impossible with you chatterboxes here. Thank Dog! It's all of you who make Mastodon so rich in content and fill it with life. But your girl does need a break from time to time so she can touch grass or maybe the doorhandle to the ladies room. Still, don't worry, I'll catch up to your awesomeness eventually. Please carry on. 💖

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/116354480071471219 Everybody needs to read this thread. I said NOW, dammit!

  Here's a short blog post explaining that my "disappearance" from Mastodon last year was also very short: https://lisamelton.net/2025/07/04/i-didnt-suddenly-return-to-mastodon/ Still not sure why some people got confused. 🤷‍♀️😂

• Post #687045

  Ugh. From now on when I read "LLM," I'm gonna interpret that to mean "Lame-ass Lying Machine." It's as stupid a term as "AI," which we all know means "Automated Idiot."

• Post #634352

  Aaaaand... she's back. Just in time for 2026. 😊🥰💖 But give me some time to build up my stamina for 24x7 boosting. A girl's still gotta heal. 😈
