My kids are watching this classic scene from Sesame Street and are just as confused as the Yip Yips. They have absolutely no conception of what this thing is. The humor of the scene has truly come full circle.

Over the last few days, I experimented with moving my Twitter archive to my personal #Mastodon account @luca@social.luca.run and finally succeeded.

I had to modify the Mastodon source to allow backdated posts and prevent it from spamming other instances with old posts. Because image descriptions aren't included in the Twitter export, I had to request them from the API. There I got full text for truncated Retweets as well.

IN CASE OF FIRE:

1) If someone is on fire, punch them in the face.

2) Cop a feel off the person behind you, as these might be your last minutes on Earth.

3) Squeeze the junk of the person in front of you. It'll slow them down, allowing you to move ahead of them.

4) Exit.
