This is the first time (for me) that The Timeline here on Mastodon has really felt like “old Twitter”, with everyone experiencing the same bit of world news at once, and relentlessly goofing on it.
I’ve missed this.

Especially glad it was for such good news—rest in piss, Henry!

@Graham_LRR May I just say that LRR is giving him the most fitting tribute right now, namely, completely ignoring him and continuing right on with a spirited, laugh-filled game of Telestrations.

@Graham_LRR It's moments like this that make me remember why I fell in love with social media in the first place.

@Graham_LRR There have been a couple other moments for [me], but I absolutely agree. This is aces social media.

@Graham_LRR this is peek social media for me because I saw the reaction to the event before the actual event

@Wearwolf @Graham_LRR same here. I was 20+ minutes into whatever vibe was happening before I understood the context.

@Graham_LRR are you talking about Henry Kissinger? Seems pretty harsh.

@octesian I don’t think so

@Graham_LRR Wow. That article makes him look like a "man who likes his power" and makes a lot of bad calls to keep it. I didn't know he died until I saw your post.
Show threadSolarbird Nov 30, 2023
@Graham_LRR Absolutely. You can build your follows for that kind of reaction - and I have, and I've seen it - but you have to actually do that. And for this event? You absolutely did not. It's everywhere and everyone. xD

@Graham_LRR I agree, this does feel very much like my old twitter experience: waking up in Europe, checking overnight socials before reading actual news sites, seeing someone vaguely reference current events and me having no idea what they're talking about. 😄

@Graham_LRR Great observation. I was feeling that without yet realizing it consciously.

@Graham_LRR The saddest part of this news is that in liking this post, I raised the number from 420 to 421. I apologize for the faux pas.

@sevenishmagpies @Graham_LRR I’m imagining Anthony Bourdain is trying to get a Visitor’s Day Pass to Hell so he can give Kissinger a proper welcome

@DaveAndAHalf @Graham_LRR I had to explain to Gen Z why we hate Henry McWarcrimes and I basically told them even Anthony Bourdain hates him heck he hates him the most.
