Floof found this teeny little Christmas tree and wonders if it tastes like mint.

Imagine being invited to a party and it's the coolest party you've ever been to. Doctors, Scientists, Photographers, Journalists, Artists of Every Type, Tech People, Chefs, Bartenders, the list goes on and on, they are all here, they brought their pets, and some really good weed and a bottle of something nice, and everyone is sharing interesting things about themselves and society.

AND Y'ALL, I'VE BEEN ON HERE A MONTH, AND NO ONE HAS SEXUALLY HARASSED ME, NOT EVEN ONCE! No MAGA dude has called me little lady and tried to explain my beliefs to me. If someone thought I was incorrect about something, they just made intelligent points about it and moved on.

Can we keep it this way, pretty pretty please?!

Tragic! Mediaite forced Isaac Schorr to correct his error.

But #JohnMastodon will live on for eternity!

I'm grateful that I was present at his creation.

My favorite trick as a lighting designer is to turn on 50,000 watts of stage lights and convince an audience they are looking at a dark room. #Stagecraft

Hello Mastodon! I'm Brian Klaas - an associate professor of global politics at University College London, a contributing writer for The Atlantic, and host/creator of the Power Corrupts podcast. I'm originally from Minnesota.

I'm also writing a newsletter on Substack called "The Garden of Forking Paths."

And yes, that is a lemur on my shoulder...I spend a fair bit of time in Madagascar for research.

A long time ago I visited Auschwitz. The guide was a former inmate who had a number tattooed on his arm. I saw the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of belongings. Beware when a group or groups are singled out as a “problem”. When Texas wants to compile lists of trans people, it rings a terrible historical bell. People say don’t be hysterical. People said that in 1933 too. We should know better. #politics #uspol #uspolitics

I went to the zoo. It was terrible because there was only one animal and it was a dog.
It was a Shih Tzu.

#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

What a hero

Arya made a new friend. #dogsofmastodon #borderterriersofmastodon

Some people dream of sugarplums…

A lot of y'all seem to like Bean. Congratulations on having good taste!

Here's him again, a 10/10 loaf imo

Post.news is a Twitter clone that’s being invested in by the same people that turned Twitter into 8chan in the first place. Why the fuck would we want to repeat the same mistake?

I spoke to a retired educator about the importance of teaching kids accurate US history. They lamented, "A student told me our military has raped & pillaged people in poor countries. I was horrified he said such misinformation. I sat him down & corrected him."

Y'all—& I say this as the brother of a US Marine—our standard must be justice. Acknowledging that members of the US military committed such atrocity isn't anti-American—but what true Patriotism looks like. Let's demand justice above all.
