“And now, inevitably, half of my #Bluesky timeline is like: oh, we need a service that’s resistant to this sort of shit, something that’s not beholden to capitalist pressure, something that’s queer-friendly…, quickly followed by but don’t say #Mastodon!
Sorry, I’m saying it. We want fucking Mastodon. It’s run by an actual non-profit foundation, none of this “public benefit corporation” bullshit. It’s not subject to creeping network-wide puritanism. Mastodon. Goddammit.”
Met Ignatius J. Reilly today.
Still a fave...
Mediterranean food place,, get talking to the owner's son while waiting for shawarma. Football, Scotland, etc. He tells me he's from Jordan and the dad comes out with the food. I have 3 Jordan players in my panini stickers and pull them out my wallet. The dad is like "Al Tamari!" his favourite player, his son translates. I tell him that the stickers are for him to keep. Pals, I gotta tell you, the delight on this da's face was great. And to me, that's what the world cup is all about.
