Special thanks to @dragondaddy for making this possible!

@andypiper I'm wrapping up a few things and will be shipping full federation support very soon ™️
There are a lot of caveats as I'm sure you know, but for example, Loops Activities are more similar to Mastodon than Pixelfed, we even handle the `content` field the same as Mastodon with properly formatted html of active mentions.
I'm super pumped to ship this, and look forward to adding support for Follower Sync and other extensions that your team has pioneered 🥳
Sometimes it's exhausting living inside my own brain. Like a speeding runaway train. There's little you can do but hang on for the ride. I'm trying to regain some purchase when a siren goes off and suddenly it is of vital importance that I know........

This Is The Most Difficult Pasta To Make In The World

A black and white lithograph depicts two faces in profile, seemingly emerging from a swirling, ribbon-like structure. The faces are positioned closely together, facing opposite directions, and appear to be constructed from long, curving bands that wrap around and through each other. Numerous spheres of varying sizes are scattered throughout the composition, appearing to float in the black background and integrated within the ribbons forming the faces. The faces have detailed features including eyes, noses, and mouths, but their overall appearance is distorted and fragmented by the swirling bands. The image is signed in the lower right corner with the letters "ES" and the number "94".

I found out that I've been laid off from where I was working. I'm not taking that well.
What time I had I was trying to put into making games, and
that's really all I've ever wanted to do.
So, if you want to help me do that by supporting me, it would mean the world ❤
If George Washington heard Pete Hegseth’s “warrior ethos” speech, he’d probably raise an eyebrow, according to an American history professor.
For Washington, real strength came from self-control and being morally grounded.

Where George Washington would disagree with Pete Hegseth about fitness for command and what makes a warrior
Washington’s ‘warrior ethos’ was grounded in decency, temperance and the capacity to act with courage without surrendering to rage. That ideal built an army – and in time, a republic.The Conversation

Hey friends,
@mijustin just built a “podcast episode artwork generator" tool here:
art.transistor.fm/
Wondering if a few people could test it before we announce it publicly?
This project has two main purposes:
1. Generate consistent episode artwork for all episodes in a feed
2. Demonstrates a cool use for the Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:person> tag
(Note: it requires host/guest credits in the RSS feed to work)
Podcast Episode Artwork Generator
Generate beautiful podcast episode artwork with custom backgrounds, avatars, and titles. Perfect for social media sharing and podcast promotion.art.transistor.fm
