Mastodawn

Dear friends of short rantcasts,

5 minute #Rant enclosed

Like many elderlies I am set in my decay/ways. Barely able to use a keyboard or a cutting edge operating system. Maybe I will take up kite flying as a deterrent to crows. Oh wait I like crows.

Yep I still have a mind that regularly drifts like a plastic bottle in the plasticised sea. However I am doing X-ercise not sponsored by Eloner 'muppet' Musk. It is just what I remember or am capable of.

However I am pleased to report that I learn a lot from the #fringes of mastodon. #Admins, coders. #LLM shredders and hexperts on all manner of topics (not the chocolate bar).

💪🏿

STAYC -- Yoon

With the release of STAYC -- I Want It, we get to see a bangless* Yoon.

I've seen posts treating this hairstyle as an occasion for rejoicing - "Yoon's forehead free at last!" - but I'm not so sure, as I believe in the beauty of bangs.**

However, I am aware that more than personal preferences might be at work here, so I am beginning to look at the semiotics of bangs.***

* "fringe free"
** " the fairness of fringes"
*** "the meanings of fringes"

It’s a style of #politics that has been honed by the party’s young, #extremist #fringes for years. With #Trump’s blessing [& participation]… this faction is emerging as one of the most #influential forces in the party. These #radicalized #conservatives, some of whom are working as junior staff members & political operatives across the #GOP, are showing us the future of conservatism, one #demented post at a time.

Dear Friends on the #fringes,

As we may know:

- Be as #wise as serpent/servants
- Leap without #lurking
- Men are #recumbent/redundant

Rep #MikeJohnson is “#JimJordan in a sports coat,” says Democratic Congressional Campaign Cmte. “Electing him as #Speaker would represent how the #Republican conference has completely given in to the most #extreme #fringes of their party & embraced an agenda that promotes a total, #nationwide #AbortionBan, espouses #ConspiracyTheories, & cutting #SocialSecurity & #Medicare,” said DCCC #spox Viet Shelton in a Wed stmnt.
