Headed to market to trade my Twitter account for a fat Christmas goose!

PSA!!!

You couldn't care less. Couldn't. Because if you *could* care less, then what's even your point?

Carry on.

I'm not going anywhere today.

*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon

Today I celebrate a million days since I’ve given a flip about the Royal family.

I was going to start a Twitter account tracking earth’s orbiting the sun but I’m worried that could violate the new TOS re providing real-time location information?

Double Stuf Oreos should be regular Oreos, and regular Oreos should be ashamed of themselves.

These Royal Mail delays are really draining. Just pay the posties what they want and get it running! It should never have been privatised in the first place. I need a reliable post service!

It's killing small businesses like mine over the busiest period of the year.
I'm 40% down on my month and I'm starting to get complaints and having to give refunds. And it's only going to get worse before Xmas. Honestly, it's just like why bother. Everything in this country just seems to be falling apart.

I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.

My body isn't a temple it's a waffle house.

There will be a time in the not-too-distant future where every rational human alive will look at every one of these flag-draped prion-disease-riddled assbags in the way we look at the Freedom Rider-beating Klansmen and sheriffs of the 1950s and '60s or the kindly decent volk who just tried to Make Germany Great Again a few decades prior, because, let's be honest, they are the same fucking thing, yearning for the same cleansed and purified fucking thing, motivated by the same darkhearted fucking thing, which is the profoundly fuckwitted propensity of nose-led Salt-of-the-Earth aw-shucks Dogpatch yayhoos to embrace simple dipshit abstract racist solutions to vast complex problems created by the capitalist shitweasels they bow down to as their rightful overlords. For Freedom.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

My email this morning to the Mayor of Ottawa. I’ll report back if I receive a response.

What can we learn from other countries? 1) Multi-payer systems waste money paying private insurance administrators; single-payer plans like Canada’s are more efficient. 2) Countries that spend more money on health care can cover more services, so Canada should do the same. /13

S'up?

Evolutionary psychology, what would we ever do without you? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/13/well/live/men-nose-ear-hair.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

So if you want to deactivate your Twitter account but don't know how apparently the simplest way to do it is to mention @elonjet?
