Scott BaroloSince #WordBracket is on hold for now: should we do a bracket tournament of Studio Ghibli films this month? Anybody have opinions about that?

I’m looking forward to getting a lot fewer aggressive replies here on Mastodon than I did on Twitter for #WordBracket, #FruitBracket, #SleuthBracket, #WonderBracket and #CrayonBracket! I’m sure you will be nice to your bracketmaster and (especially) to each other!
Update to the #WordBracket: Here are the words that people have suggested so far. URL is in the alt text.
I might wait until @levparikian finishes his larger random-word Twitter tournament before starting this one on Mastodon.
Note: I did a Twitter #WordBracket in March 2020, so please don't accuse me of plagiarism. Lev is very cool & neither of us was the first to do this. My tournament will be shorter (128 words) & include a bracket competition to raise money for charities of your choice.

Sometimes I run “March Madness”-style tournaments using Twitter polls—maybe I’ll do the next one over here. People can submit their predictions into a bracket competition if they donate to any charity.
Previous 🐦 tournaments include #WordBracket, #FruitBracket, a musical one-hit #WonderBracket, #CandyBracket, #SleuthBracket and #CrayonBracket.
Maybe we should do a science-themed tournament for #ScienceMastodon. What would a good topic be? #Organelles? #Signaling pathways? Something else???
