Yes, #RIP the iconic #SlyStone who was the source of the term absconded by the actor of the same name: #FamilyStone . In full, it's "Sly and the Family Stone" whose music was in the closing credits of one of the Shrek films. Thank You Fallettin Me Be Mice Elf Again. #ShrekTheThird
Another influence of #SlyStone was evident after the release of a presently-forgotten song, "Everyday People", a line of which influenced the title of a popular sitcom. Sly's fans already know that I'm talking about "Diff'rent Strokes". Watchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
...and I might as well post the lyrics to that #SlyStone classic because the knuckleheads in power today need to put this one on continuous loop. #EverydayPeople
"Sometimes I'm right, I can be wrong. My own beliefs are in my song. A butcher, a banker, a drummer, and then makes no difference what group I'm in.
I am everyday people! (yeah yeah)
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one for living with the black one trying to be a skinny one Different strokes, for different folks! And so on, and so on, and scooby-dooby-doo. (oooh, sha sha!)
We've got to live together! I am no better, and neither are you. We are the same whatever we do. You love me, you hate me, you know me and then, you can't figure out the bag I'm in.
I am everyday people! (yeah yeah)
There is a long hair who doesn't like the short hair for being such a rich one that will not help the poor one.

I finally got a timely #stroke rehabilitation appointment scheduled. Only took 6 months post-discharge.
Whatever #recovery I have had so far has been self-induced. And whatever #symptoms I currently have should have been supported by the medical profession but weren't. Things are slowly changing though.
A lot of severe weather happening in my vicinity, some of it tornadic; some of it "PDS" storms, so I'll have to close down and take a pass on both #HashtagGames and #Monsterdon tonight, alas.
Meteorologist says "PDS" stands for "Particularly Dangerous Situation" but I'd call it more intuitively "Pretty Damn Severe". See U later, Fediverse. #tornado #severeweather #Oklahoma
All I want is to use serif fonts. BUT NOOOOOO. It breaks this and other sites.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON SERIF FONTS THAT DON'T SCREW UP "designer's choices?"
Pic very much related. One is "normal" the other is with a serif font style forced onto Friendica via "stylus". Because forcing it is the only way apparently.
You will find that there is a Help selection in the Main Context menu. It has a section that describes BBcode. This of course only effects posts. If you want to change the way the Friendica interface looks then you can look into Settings -> Display -> Themes and Settings -> Display -> Theme customization. There is no reason to try to force anything. Please just refer to the Help Menu.
If you find a Theme for Friendica that you like and I do not have it installed then let me know and I can install it for you. I have all the standard themes and an extra one called Bookface that I set as the default, though you can change that.
I looked into it and installed some of those community themes. Unfortunately they are very old and unmaintained. They do not support a lot of the new interfaces on Friendica. It would take a major amount of work to get them up to date which is something I do not have time to do at the moment.
If you want to work on one and get it up to date I would be happy to install it. For right now I am concerned that if I install one it will confuse some of the members if they try to use them and it just makes a mess out of their interface that is not very usable.
If you are just looking for a few tweaks to Frio or Vier then you could follow the instructions on the Friendica Theme site to modify theme and I could add it as a scheme to them or revision.
It is a lot of work building and modifying themes and some people love it and spend a lot of time working on such. I spend more time on functionality and leave theme implementation to those UI/ UX so called experts in most cases 😉. I will eventually work on a theme for RogueProject though that is a very low priority with so many other more important things (such as debugging the friendica code base) to get done.
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody I got some money cuz I just got paid And I'm at the bar putting lime in a coconut Oh me oh my now I wish I was daid.
TweakTown writes that the Switch 2 "has reportedly beaten the record for the most-sold console within 24 hours and is on track to shatter the two-month record," selling over 3 million units and tripling the PlayStation 4's previous launch day sales.
I was looking for posts from @45 Name an Hour but it's likely they got buried under the firehose of the Fediverse. The reason I wanted to run across it because I've got a suggestion for another nickname for Mr. #TACO : The Carrot Caligula.
The irony of Democrats reducing their entire politics to reflexive opposition to Donald Trump is that, as a result, Trump now faces no credible opposition.
@Tom Grzybow What you call "perspective", I call opinionated SLANT. It's BIAS. I'll go further to say it's biased on idealogically tinted glasses. It's a big fat #FAIL.

@Tom Grzybow 3 quarter time is always 3 beats to the bar. The time signature you're describing is 4/4 regardless of the timing of each note. One possible configuration of what you describe is 3 eighth-notes and one 5/8ths note, which is awkward.
@Tom Grzybow Cases in point: "Four In The Morning" (Faron Young) and If I just say "Tucson" I'll have to narrow that down to the one Mel Tillis sang. There are so very many examples.
"No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer, so that's why the boss chose me" is how the Mel Tillis song starts out.
The current regime is an embarrassment to this country. You might think that the Russians mocking our "leaders" is just a stunt, but this shit affects their attitude on the world stage!
Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City, you better detour around my town 'Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not sayin' my baby's a saint 'cause he ain't Or that he won't cat around with a kitty I'm here to tell you, gal, you lay offa my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City
