I do not like to fill these airwaves with blather about the bird site and it’s dear leader, but my good god what’s going on over there is absolute bonkers. If we hadn’t just lived through the orange dumpster fire years, and coup attempt, I would have absolutely no context for what I’m witnessing. The Elmo comes off as an impulsive baby like tfg, but also like him, has serious plans for destroying civil society and taking over. This is not just silly social media shit. It’s high level serious.

Follow my colleague @maxnesterak at the Minnesota Reformer, who recently joined Mastodon. Here's a story Max and I did covering flaws in the Minneapolis Police discipline system a couple years ago. https://minnesotareformer.com/2020/12/15/the-bad-cops-how-minneapolis-protects-its-worst-police-officers-until-its-too-late/

I do not believe anything Elon says unless it is backed up by solid corroboration.

This is what I see when I log in to Twitter. I have not received any other explanation, nor identification of the rule supposedly violated.

Still better than Elf on a Shelf.

Happy Friday, everyone! Belated #introducion : I write for tv. Love #jigsawpuzzles and hate Nazis. #blackfriday #blackjoy #deadkennedys

Mastodon server admins tonight:

More #introduction stuff:

I am an #lgbtq ally. I'm a 53-year-old mom. If you need a mother figure I'll be happy to be your momma figure. I have many wonderful friends in the community. I can tell you to take care of yourself, eat better, and you can help me by doing kid stuff like explaining technology to me.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

Marjorie Taylor Greene is worried that Americans can buy dildos at Target to use on themselves.
I’m worried that Americans can buy guns EVERYWHERE to use on us.

I’m getting started on Mastodon and am finally doing an #introductionpost I’m involved in #NYCPolitics for 3 decades alternating between government and advocacy. I run a #placebased business org, live & work in Western Queens. #astoriaqueens #sunnysidequeens. My life is run by two #cats I’m gay and married #gay #GayMastodon #gaymen I spend way too much time watching and rewatching #rupaulsdragrace - all seasons and franchises and am always up for discussing it: #rpdr #rupaul

“I just want to find 403,1901 votes, which is one more than we have,” Elon said to his last remaining Twitter poll engineer. “You know, me being embarrassed, that’s a criminal — that’s a criminal offense on Twitter. And you know, you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to your lawyer. That’s a big risk.”

Just so the new people know, we convene at at 10 pm to hold hands and watch the daily fireworks display on the Canadian server. Sometimes there are unicorns.

I like how birds flirt. They just scream at each other.
