No, I expect extremely long hours of hardcore tooting on Thanksgiving most of all
I hate to break it to you but the macys thanksgiving day parade has always used lip syncing for their commentators
Boooooo to the New York Times for adding a link to torture porn (the New York Times) when sharing a Wordle
Mastodon has a people saying Mastodon has a problem problem
Web 3 is the last of the ill-conceived prequels and the end of a misguided retcon. The true successor to the original Web trilogy will be episode 7.
@doot I saw this and thought of you.

Boy-howdy, I got me a hankerin’ for some content. Y’all got that here?
All the moms lining up early at Twitter to get half-off Tweets before the good stuff is gone
I’m not locked in here with you, you herewith are locked in me
Don’t be telling me what to boost, and don’t be boosting things that tell YOU what to boost! This ain’t the birdsite! On the #fediverse, you boost or not as you heckin’ well please!!
Boost if you agree
For each item of work I do, I get to toot one Mastodon
@clive@saturation.social I thought this was a great article https://uxdesign.cc/mastodon-is-antiviral-design-42f090ab8d51 (Medium, members-only) for the way you address how people use Mastodon and more generally the fediverse, rather than just the technology or the specific norms themselves.

Am loving all the CWs and hidden content here, it's like an Advent calendar. Is it boobs or a dog with a watermelon hat? Let's find out!
This is the last bowl of waffle fries with bleu cheese fondue ever to be served. Barnaby’s has pulled it from the menu to control costs.
Salud! Or whatever you say when you eat the last bowl of something ever to be served.
I'm sorry about how everything turned out. I truly am. I realize now… I was voting too hard, too much. All along I was only pushing all the votes away. I hope one day you'll forgive me and we can still be citizens
Okay I guess it’s time for an #introduction. I showed up here a little while before the #exodus, just setting up #microblogpub along with some other some #selfhosted stuff. I didn’t realize all these other amazing people were about to show up! And, I dunno, I guess I am a little better dressed than I normally am. Ha! Anyway, once people started showing up and everyone seemed to think I belonged here, it felt like it would be rude to leave, and so now I’ve been at this party all night, hanging out with someone who claims to be an Eastern European princess, drinking loads of #champagne. I’ve had way too much cocaine, and I think I now have a job at a bank? Or an embassy? A man gave me this phone and a business card with my name on it that looks like it would be from a place like that, but it’s in a language I can’t read, so I can’t tell. Something tells me he thinks I have important secrets, though, and is keeping me alive only as long as he believes that. These don’t seem like people to be trifled with. There was a bottle of vodka in the shape of a Tommy gun behind the bar. The man noticed me noticing it and took it down and handed it to me. I tried to decline politely, but he said “no no, my gift to you.” His face told me it was a test. Behind him, a man gave me a silent look that said not to argue any further. I don’t know when or if I will be allowed to leave. I am interested in #cats and #beer, and I can’t wait to meet all of you. Please remember to #cw!!
Why use a #cw for #news? Here is one reason.

"The impulse to consume negative news can be difficult to resist. 'We are evolutionarily wired to screen for and anticipate danger, which is why keeping our fingers on the pulse of bad news may trick us into feeling more prepared,' says Cecille Ahrens, clinical director of Transcend Therapy in San Diego"
