Cute thread with cool people (and me): https://astrodon.social/@_astronoMay/109299372602273039

I absolutely can't describe the amount of positive emotions mastodon is giving me these days, in the wake of very suspicious news in regards to the western support for Ukraine.

I hope that there's going to be some clarity and commitment by the West soon, and I hope that we in the West will keep doing everything we can to telegraph our governments that we demand more support for #Ukraine, not less.

Then I'll be happy all around.

Did you hear that elon musk is the incarnation of the twitter whale?

Welcome to all the #twittermigration folks!

Please read this amazing thread by Christine. A maker, a visionary and a great woman I am so honored to read in my mastodon feed... Which she helped make a reality.

Oh my gawd, @kathygriffin is in the house!

Gotta love how the "twitter" link in the bio leads to the mastodon page! Rock on!

40% of the polled germans believe that russia was forced to invade Ukraine due to a threat of NATO expansion.

This is plain false, given that it understandably triggered NATO expansion.

Friends in the West, please, don't fall for russian propaganda. Please, educate yourself about the situation in Ukraine. Remember, no world war was named "world war" before the fact. The more you support russia, the more likely it is that you're going to have to resort to food stamps in three years.

https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/clean-singing-metal-list this post with a bit cringe name lists some interesting contemporary bands. #Messa, for instance, is more of "the next Black Sabbath" than "the next #Dio", but perhaps both.

Good blog post, the bands there aren't singing about dragons, demons and other fantasy characters like Jesus. Up my alley.

#rage has a bit cringe and trashy lyrics. But album #soundchaser is an amazing conceptual album that, again, tells a story.

The vocalist's range isn't quite tenor, but it's clean, which is not something one can often find in the genre.

A band whose singer comes close is #dreamevil. Dream Evil's #dragonslayer is just marginally cringe power metal album with good story telling and a concept.

Vivid and nice.

Since I have a hard time listening to the music from 80s made by nice pacifist, anti-nuclear-weapon, antifascist soviet girls and boys who are now either apologists for war (by being silent), or worse -- whose public statements can be considered fascist, I need to find a tenor singer with non-cringe lyrics... It's a hard mission. But on that mission I finally listened to #dio. And he's pretty damn good when not sexist.

#timeboxing update: was 9 minutes late from the first intensive box to the chill box dedicated to breakfast and relaxed thinking / processing of rebuilt context. A bit sad, but ok. Will have an intensive 3h45' box coming up with a lot of coding!

Still, feels underachievey.

Wish me luck.

Trying time boxing today, already a bit late in my first box, but gonna try and achieve something in it.

I made them very realistic and unambitious to not feel too bad about failure, but to still motivate me to do things in a timely manner.
