My old bud JC is getting surgery this week and I was on the phone with him and said "Good luck under the knife" and he said "What?" and it seemed a little weird so you know how you don't say "good luck" to actors before a show, you say "break a leg" because "good luck" is bad luck to actors? I propose we have a different phrase for "good luck getting surgery" and my proposed alternate phrase is "Punch an angel."

The huge spider in my bedroom is now called Cotton Eyed Joe because I want to know two things: where did he come from, and where did he go?

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”

So, we jumped from #Twitter to #Mastodon, after a man with a sink showed us how fragile centralized platforms really are. And now there's #Bluesky wanting to convince us that their AT Protocol is even more robust than #ActivityPub. But is it really superior and would it have been better to build the #fediverse on top of this protocol, instead?

Thread time!
