“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.”

Look, just fucking use Mastodon already

A short, unnecessarily profane rant about modern social media, not really serious but not really a joke, either. With apologies to McSweeney’s.

😱 Bezos said that in order for AI to reach its potential, certain resources must be allocated and prioritised for the technology rather than for human consumption like water. It’s a remarkably tone deaf statement from one of the world’s richest men, essentially suggesting human needs should yield to AI infrastructure need.

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.

A win is a win and I'll take that every time! Cheers! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
