Happy Friday night, my fellow Mastodingles! What’s Mastodangling?

Mastodon’s biggest problem so far is that the sanctimony and finger-wagging showed up before the fun did. When I log in, it’s all scolding and chest-puffery. I want more than just post after post of people clicking about all the rubes who gave Zuck all their personal data.

I’m not saying the fun’s absent, but dear god the sanctimony here.

Why do these exist?
Why do we exist?

“Who are you?”

“I’m Paul.”

“Paul who?”

*Paul looks around for a moment, then smiles*

“Paul Dune.”

Rejoice! For I have conquered Malenia, Blade of Miquella!
I am a grown man who makes sound financial decisions.

Here’s my The Last of Us hot take: while I admire the craft of the game, I became exhausted with it right after the credits rolled. I didn’t play Part 2, and have no interest in the show.

The story’s great for games, but it’s still warmed-over P.D. James meets Cormac McCarthy.
