@AriCohn Cool story about Sky, my 90 lb malamute husky. We were out for our evening potty break, and I tripped on an ice-covered hole. I fell on her and dropped the leash. She yelped (hopefully just out of surprise), took 2 steps away, and then came right back and let me use her as a support to get my old, decrepit body back upright. I should mention Sky's a runner--usually if she gets off-leash she's 2 miles down the road. That's why I had to put 6 foot fencing around 1/2 an acre to make a dog park. A large dog run didn't work--she ate through it! #DogsofMastadon

Talk about a rigged election. My man Hakeem Jeffries has now won three times and he's STILL not Speaker. STOP THE STEAL!!!!
As of 11:45 pm MST, the foundation had hit over $3million
Damar Hamlin's foundation's toy drive has gone from four digits to almost a million dollars in the last hour. Let's keep it going. https://www.gof...
You need to either publish that whole exchange, blog it somewhere, or cross post. I hate having to go over to that other site to get my evening's entertainment. A 1-act play with extra comments of some of the juicy chorus responses--I'd pay for that. #Bophades indeed!
Nothing like a...checks notes...class action guy on twitter dot com claiming to have litigated "defamation cases of great magnitude" being clueless...

Oh my gosh, I just loved reading #OMNI magazine back in the mid-80s. A big thank you to @clive for pointing out that there is a TREASURE TROVE of all the issues archived online. I am going to begin paging through them immediately!

Happy new year. In 2023, let us remember that kindness in an age of cruelty is resistance, that honesty in an age of deception is resistance, that truthfulness in an age of misrepresentation is resistance, and that respectfulness in an age of mockery is resistance.

Since many people are alcohol-fueled on NYE, here's a great one from #BuddyGuy with #JeffBeck and #keithrichards. #Cognac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzztqp6rE3I&ab_channel=BuddyGuyVevo #NewYear #Blues
#Dogs are weird. They can spend hours playing in water from a hose, they romp in a snowstorm, but when there's a teeenny little bit of rain, they complain bitterly.

Andrew Tate, in failed attempt to respond to Greta Thunberg's burning tweet with a video, tipped off his location to Romanian authorities, by including pizza boxes in the video. He and his brother have been arrested for alleged Human trafficking.

PSA to all admins: I highly recommend a #FediBlock of #mastinator (ie. the entire mastinator.com domain).
Mastinator is a service that allows a person to anonymously follow people on the fediverse. No big deal you think? Your public posts are probably already anonymously viewable from your public profile anyways and all it is doing is aggregating public info? That is what its creator claims---it is just a convenience service!
Well no, it is mode concerning than that. It does this aggregation by following any account a mastinator user types into its service then replicating *all* your non-DM posts into a sort of "proxy inbox" in the mastinator.com domain that is completely out of your control and viewable by everyone!
In other words, if you are followed by mastinator.com it effectively turns your follower-only posts into public posts and lets people you have blocked keep following you by following the mastinator replica of your posts!
Innocent intentions or not this violates user consent.

I was just followed by @everyone. I blocked that instance immediately after seeing its goal is to swallow people’s toots and rebroadcast them, even follower-only ones. It’s block evasion, pure and simple. I recommend everyone to block that shit with haste. The developer has a very “if the protocol allows it I don’t see the problem” attitude.
