Since the fascist flag hugger is at it again, let's talk about the Pledge of Allegiance write-up by his favorite museum, the Smithsonian.
Did you know the Pledge originated as a marketing gimmick by a company to boost sales of flags to US schools?

#Facebook front office grabbed great publicity from its bold #billion dollar public #pledge to help solve the #BayArea #housing crisis, then after the cameras, clicks and likes disappeared so did it's phony commitment, as #Meta quietly cut the funding teat and #ghosted the topic.
Money did flow at first , as public entities provided matching funds, but #Zuggerfugger's #PaloAlto #SocialMedia #boardroom backed shills quietly cut and run, committing far less than a quarter of the publicly pledged total. The vast majority of money from Meta, a company lacking a corporate charitable arm, came back to their HQ, repaid as low 2% interest rate loans of up to $15m to developers, not actual donations.
5 years after the flurry of #publicity, the unfulfilled propaganda pipe dream went deferred, projects were few and far between, impacts largely lost and untold in a region still desperately in need of more affordable housing.

I usually don’t do new years pledges. But given the massive fuck up that the last Battletech Kickstarter has become and how extra fees pile up on stuff that’s imported into the EU I am going to pledge:
No more funding of physical projects that are not from within the EU
Only funding small companies outside the EU that offer a digital reward. (Movies, video games etc.)
Only funding […]

I don't care how popular the #socialMedia poster/post is, but I #pledge to henceforth *not* engage posts with unattributed content (quotes, "facts", images, …) if the content is not attributable to the poster.
And please let me know when my posts fail to meet this standard.
Aww I just donated to WQED for their pledge drive and they wrote my name down as "Tosh".
Eh, close enough, but I was hoping the TRYPO conductor Brian Worsdale would see the tag "former TRYPO cellist" while he was there. Oh well.
Pledge if you can! QED is a great gift to Pittsburgh -- and even my mom who lives in Texas now can listen on streaming worldwide!!

As a result of the wave of #Conservative disgust that #PMTrudeau took time off to take his children to the #TaylorSwift concert in #Toronto because he didn't foresee a random riot happening in #Montreal when he purchased the tickets months ago, I'm calling for #PierrePoilievre and the entire #Conservatative party to public declare and sign a #Pledge that if elected they will either #Sell their #Families or put them in #ColdStorage until they leave office and that they will be chained to their desks in Ottawa! This will remove the need for them to spend anytime with family and ensure they are always at there desk if some unforeseen emergency comes up!
Now to assure you that I'm not some monster, this plan will include replacing all their chairs with toilets.
