Just another displaced malcontent looking for social media, minus all the racist uncles and billionaire tyrants. Formerly @NardyPoontango

So the @Mastodon account is back on 🐦

This first tweet is 🔥

I've gotten a lot of responses to that Substack piece about leaving Twitter. Many are positive but some are negative. A few are saying "oh so you think free speech is nasty?"

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I do. The Nazis marching at Skokie were nasty. All sorts of speech is nasty. Supporting free speech doesn't mean reserving judgment about it, you imbecile. It means not using the state to suppress it.

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
The Republican Party I knew would never tolerate Antisemitism; it drew the line at Islamaphobia.
@damienowens it really is a cesspool
A sickness of our age is the “anti-anti” mentality, against everything and for nothing.

A Black family in Seattle got their home appraised: $670,000.

3 weeks later, they took down their family photos and African art. A white neighbor stood in for the family when a new appraiser arrived.

New value: $929,000.

A right wing FB page I follow posted a link to the Heritage Foundation's *very scientific* <sarcasm> list of the states with the best "election integrity" and the states with the worst. The results will surprise you, I'm sure.
