giving tuesday

Today is delete-all-giving-Tuesday-emails-on-a-Tuesday Tuesday. Clickety click!

All giving Tuesday texts get reported as spam just like all those political ones I get.

twitter crash and burn

Mostly on Mastodon I hear a lot about how breathtaking it is to watch Twitter crash and burn. Historically breathtaking!

Frankly, I notice no difference. The same ones I get news and info from before are still there pointing to their same websites. Some get capriciously banned, some reinstated, but mostly the same, sightly tweaked censorship agenda, maybe.

I think a few 100K, or million, nutcases on or off makes little difference on a network that large. The ones noisily running off to other networks often ain’t that great. I’ve been on networks where the majority are nutcases, i.e. politically inept, revolting, propaganda steeped. I survived OK.

I have many other ways to get news and info: RSS, Telegram, direct e-mail subscription.

washington dc 2008

Me, Washington DC, 2008. My hair was still black mostly.

nnn and cc

No Nut November is like Chubby Chasers. Neither one actually exists.

google blogger

For some reason tonight, I felt the need to reactivate a Google Blogger account from 14 years ago.

arrest me

I have this friend who is sure that their arrest is imminent due to politics and views. They post every day, [the date] + “still not in jail.” I suppose imprisonment is possible, but I doubt it.

Their views 100% match the government’s propaganda. I cannot imagine anything safer.

It might be drama queen syndrome. I love following this person. They’re kinda sweet and lovable, actually.

prayer clock

I don’t even know how to approach mocking this one. Get some to give away for Christmas, I guess.

It’s a talking, Bible-verse-reciting, clock featuring the voice of James Earl Jones.

Comes in a “big ten inch” (Aerosmith reference) or get the twelve, though nobody will be able to help you with that.

how about those sports teams

Rooting for a sports team is just out of my realm.

To me, it’s like picking some random thing, supporting it, and hoping it wins. Like, how about that Dillard’s Department Store! Watch out Boscov’s and Belk are coming for ya.

Let’s put it all in a public-money sinkhole, a stadium, so the fans can worship.

circus fantasy art plus one

One of these four is different than the others, or is it?

social media apple

I 100% do this.
