Hello world! Elon Musk picking a twitter fight with Icelandic philanthropist and man of the year 2022 Haraldur Thorleifsson ended up being the final push that we needed, so now we are here on Mastodon.

Smells like teen spirit of the radio
Dancing in the moonlight drive
Bus stop draggin my heart around

Monday morning coming down on the corner
Proud to be an American idiot
Fool in the rain song
Crocodile rock around the clock
I wanna hold your hand jive

How many drag queens have let loose a bloodbath in an elementary school?
John Stewart, nails it.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
