Glad to see the birdsite finally canned Jones. I'm still not going back, though. The place is still fundamentally broken. And he won't come here; even if he created his own instance, none but the handful of Nazi friendly instances would federate with him anyway.

Folks, Mastodon has no "verified" accounts like on the birdsite. That's one of the strengths here. Anybody can put a blue check in their profile. Just beware.

It's becoming quite common. Since I published the article several people have said the same thing has happened to them.

@ink_slinger They have those red sand beaches, though!

This is a sad essay, but some stuff I needed to say. There's nothing you can do except be on the right side of history. Those guys I used to know: watching friends slide toward the alt-right.

Is there a decent online book vendor that takes PayPal? Some place with a good selection, new and used?

@ajroach42 I used one extensively while doing research for my dissertation. I hate them, but not much you can do.

Look, I'm just going to level with you. We simply don't have enough puppies here on Mastodon, and it's a serious problem. I expect everybody to do their share.

So I'm building my class this year around historical reenactments of key decision points. Do you think deciding Henry VIII's split from Rome or whether Nicholas II should take Russia to war in 1914 is too advanced for 6th and 7th graders?

@Adotnon
Most likely, I think at one point (briefly) they were trying to build national brand awareness. The commercials we're unforgettable.

Once again I have to chortle at conserva-cultists' latest performance-art "boycott" stunt by setting fire to Nike shoes. So far they've blown up ice coolers, crushed Keurig machines and burnt Nike gear. WHICH THEY ALREADY BOUGHT. All because of virtue-signaling and patriotic symbology. There's not going to be much left in their houses if this keeps up! 😂

In the final installment of my blog series on the rise and fall of Crazy Eddie, the discount electronics chain that masked an international criminal empire, the scheme finally collapses and the crooks (try to) scatter to the winds. An absolutely amazing story. The bold and the gullible: the incredible story of Crazy Eddie [Part III].

My husband pulled the plug on "A Wrinkle in Time." Rare that we turn off a movie in mid-stream, but it was terrible. Do not watch!

Our #EveningMovie tonight is "A Wrinkle in Time." So far it's dull and antiseptic. I don't believe these are real kids, they're perfect privileged movie kids. No danger they face is convincing because it's a pretty Disney movie where you know it will all turn out.

Was it Trump's hair? 😲

The answer is puppies. What was the question?

You should get that robe. You'd look like a Star Trek villain.
