#InMemorium #JonKudelka

The original posts are long gone with my #exbirdsite account but about 15 years ago I had a wonderful interaction with Mr Kudelka that I CHEERFULLY declared him the winner of.

A rough but lovely sketch by the man himself is in the link, and I dare say most will not have seen it.

Enjoy, and appreciate his wit anew!

Kudelka on Fixies

Yesterday I had a highly amusing exchange with the wonderful cartoonist Jon Kudelka on the subject of fixies which he completely won with the following: Used with permission, all rights remain with…

WTAF? WHERE did THIS come from? It looks like it links to my (now long deleted) #exbirdsite account…

@ShaulaEvans I DO like the Fedi for that. I especially like that people here are often chill enough that I can unironically or sarcastically say “they seem nice” and reach for the follow button.

All too often on the (hopefully) dying #exbirdsite, that phrase was almost ALWAYS ironic and accompanied by the block button.

If I was still on the (hopefully dying) #exbirdsite, I would generally expect usage of the phrase “They seem nice” to be a) Heavily #sarcastic and b) accompanied by use of the “block” button.

That it’s the opposite here on the #fedi, truly is something I’m appreciating right now.

So thank you to all the lovely people I’ve met that way. You do you folks, you’re great.

I’ve had this album since my #grandTour in 2017, so long ago that some of my reactions are lost to time forever with my #exbirdsite account… https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2017/10/02/the-grand-tour-day-12-01102017-tokaido-trail-9-tokyo/

It's a relatively small price to pay for being free of the AI slop of the #ExBirdSite.

Occasionally I run tinto old blog posts that I wrote mostly by linking to #exbirdsite posts, from my now deleted account.

The content is...basically gone.

Oh well, it is what it is.

@gregdoucette.bsky.social I haven’t been on the #exBirdSite for a couple of years now - did the #threadnought ever actually end?
I will of course switch the phone off completely before #Superman actually starts but as was my wont lo these many years ago on the #exbirdsite I will toot a running ratio of Ads:Trailers
I must say though, and I know I had threads (probably plural) on my #longdeleted #exbirdsite account about this: the game under development in the second cour of #NewGame is absoutely #nightmarefuel. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NightmareFuel
Nightmare Fuel - TV Tropes

Scary stuff. Really scary stuff. This is the stuff so horrifying that it can give people the creeps for years. This scares the pants off just about anyone to the author/creator's delight. This makes you shrink in the back of your chair (or maybe …
