two drunk Nazis on the train to work this morning, they were spitting on the ground and yelling seig heil and doing the hand gesture and pouring beer on the seats, and then they offered me a beer and I shook my head and then they started shouting "fucking n$#@$, you better not fuck with me we will fuck you up" and I slowly got up and walked to the other side of the train and watched as no one did anything for a few stops till I got off cause the train was going in the wrong direction
oh wow @sruthi@theforkiverse.com joined the fediverse! if your not familiar with her work you haven't been listening to enough podcasts...
I just discovered that @palaisdetokyo@reseauculture.fr joined the fediverse at the end of last year with little fan fare. I see they still haven't added a social link to the bottom of their website either but they did verify their URL here which is more then many institutions.
I added their account to @wikidata@wikis.world so maybe they will now automatically show up now on various #fediverse account viewing websites that source from there.

just learned that https://theforkiverse.com went 7 to 2,400 active users in the last 10 days which is the biggest fediverse bump I have seen in quite a while

بروزرسانی بتای نسخۀ ۲.۳.۰ فونت آراد منتشر شد!
تو این نسخهٔ بتا، تغییرات آزمایشی مهمی رو داریم. با حذف مستر ExtraBold و مدیریت بهتر حروف در فونت، ضخامت حروف، در وزن های میانی بیشتر شده است. یعنی حالا وزن بولد فونت، نسبت به قبل خیلی ضخیمتر شده است. فونت در متن ها نیز ضخیمتر مینویسد. اندازهٔ فونت کمی کوچک شده است و چند تغییر در طراحی حروف داریم و بعضی مشکلات فنی برطرف شدند. نویسهٔ ساکن قرآن هم به فونت اضافه شده است.

I mistakenly wrote Feduary here instead of February but maybe thats a sign that we should call it Feduary for Fediverse-February
