βIβm working on something to enhance Mastodon.β ππππππππππππππππππ
I just spit my coffee. And I NEED my coffee, after the football marathon yesterday. π₯±π
Last I checked the Mastodonians are having fits with the Twitter “refugees” who show up and continue acting like petulant Twitter dickheads.
Thatβs awesome! π
Theyβll get sick of Fatassβs whinging in aboutβ¦well, theyβre already sick of it, Iβm sure.

In some cases, involving demented stalkers, this process takes several years of daily harassment. βPAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM!!!β π
lolololpenislol
I missed the corroboration!
Somebody ought to tweet that to Charles Oh wait

Chuck amplifies and spreads the message. Somebody ought to call out Fuckfa Oh wait…

Charlie is always late to the gig.—
“In early December β just around the height of the new Mastodon engagement β one survey looked into those who had pledged to quit Twitter and move permanently to Mastodon. That study of 140,000 accounts declaring they were leaving the site finds that a minuscule number actually deleted their accounts. Just 1.6% went through with their pledged eradication.
It is of little surprise that this hyped creation of the new social Eden would fizzle. What was created was a homogenized tribe where everyone was talking about just two things β Twitter, or journalism. They had no general audience, they were being closed off from other outlets, and within their circle, it became a tribe of exclusionary sniping elites. The appeal was minimal, and while they were busy high-fiving each other for fleeing the social horrors of Twitter they came to realize all they had managed was to build a more concentrated version of the anti-social sandbox.
It became the classic case of not wanting to join a club that would accept themselves as members. “
“Welcome to Mastodon, Charles. Now please go home.”
ππππ
Pathetic Losers, in other words.
Btw, Chonky will sooner quit breathing than quit Twitter. Heβs a lifer. I think he said he invented it, at one point. Definitely made major improvements, which would have been awesome if any of them werenβt buggy nightmares, which sadly was not the case. π’
If I understand the structure of Mastodon correctly, it’s localized servers with administrators. I think he was looking to take one over and steal some ideas and hardware capabilities. Then tell everybody he fixed it.
I don’t have the link but someone did a TwitterKwitter survey, found that only about 1.6% ever deleted their accounts, despite announcing their departures for months and even years.
Charles reverse-engineered WordPress and added shiny green buttons.
That fits his prior M.O. perfectly! π€π
As for Mastodon, I don’t think the platform allows widespread spamming of LGF Bob Cesca podcast links. Chuck’s head is too fat to squeeze into one of those isolated pachyderm preserves.
OFFS. I just quoted the twitterkwitter stat from your post upthread, Poteen.
Must be nap time…
Every once in a while I’m reminded of this song.
Thatβs a great song! A little more cowbell, maybe a guitar solo, and it would have gone straight to #1. π€ππ»
Ditto. Reminds me of a popular douchebag jock who ended up at the same university I did. He came to me crying once – he’d been slammed by the realization that nobody gave a shit about who he was in high school. A week or so later he dropped out.
The poor bastard. Thatβs a sad story. Maybe he lived and learned.
Happy Birthday to Mick Taylor, who once played beautiful guitar for The Rolling Stones. He had to quit the band because the lifestyle was wrecking his health, but he was there through their best period of artistry, after Brian Jones drowned in the pool.
Taylor is not shown in the above pic – maybe I should post a group pic with him present:

Dogwhistle for black militants to take up arms.

Morning! Am in overcast but warm Bangkok. Having lunch with an old friend I’ve known since my late teens. π
Eatin’ anything exotic?
We had Indian food π!
The garlic naan was the BEST! π
Naan is awesome. My daughter makes the best naan this side of Woodward Avenue. π
You left out a critical detail. Does Woodward go NS or EW?
It runs NNW from downtown to uptown. It was an interesting ride in 1974
Which side is Octo on?
Iβm WAY over on the west side – halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Thirty miles from where I live, to downtown Detroit. Zero Dark Thirty. π
Wow. That means you got the best naan from Woodward to Cape Alava. Wait here – I’m off to win some bar bets.
But Siriuslyβ¦her naan is so great! Hot off the frying pan, straight into my mouth. When my wife makes the Greek skordalia to go with, I donβt need anything else for dinner. π
For ISTE, so he can make some for himself, instead of eating tough old mutton:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skordalia
http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a30778443/skordalia-recipe/
A toddler could make it. Even I could make it, along with a big mess in the kitchen. ππ
Sounds like a movie scene. I don’t travel or have any old friends. Best I can do is eat lunch in my car at the dog park before I sit on the bench and pet my dog. Your experience sounds richer.
Life can be richer when one takes risks. Of course, last year, we came here and got our asses kicked because of the Covid crap. π
Itβs good for you to travel, Iβm convinced. Weβve been to 45 states, and plan to see the rest soon enough. Iβm hyped for Alaska and Maine. Not so much for Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
I should have said I don’t travel overseas. I get around the US. Used to travel a lot more, but not so much anymore. Ironically, I love maps.
Maine is wonderful! Drive up the coast!
We went to New Brunswick (the Fundy Bay tides are a sight to behold) about 30 years ago and drove down Route 1 in Maine on our way back. Spectacular doesn’t come close to describing it.
I didn’t find much to get hyped about in Mississippi or Arkansas, but New Orleans was great. It’s the only city I’ve ever visited that I thought “I could live here.” I know, I know, the crime and all that. The WWII museum in New Orleans would take days to get through and do it justice. We only had about three hours to cram in what we could.
The end of US Route 11 is just outside of New Orleans. I grew up in upstate NY on Rte 11. I’ve always wanted to drive the length of it.
We’ve been to Camden, Lincolnville, Machias , and Calais, Maine. Drove the way up the coast. Stunning. Food was fantastic as well!
You guys have me excited about Maine and Louisiana, now. π
The Wife and I are driving through Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama in late Feb to click those off her list. First 2 nights in the Memphis area where I will drool over various Gibson guitars at their store and any studios that allow visitors. We’re also hitting a Diner/Dive of Ghay Fieri she wants to check out in Hernando, MS. Final 2 nights in Muscle Shoals, AL where I will tour the studios and immerse myself in swamp music. (What a terrible time to quit drinking)
I’ll be back in Muscle Shoals in mid-March for golf. It’s nippy but warmer than Chicagoland.

We passed through Memphis last summer. Ate BBQ at this place (https://thebar-b-qshop.com/). It was excellent.
Btw, my cooking skills continue to grow and gain acclaim. Last nightβs potato soup with made-from-scratch Southern-style biscuits was so amazing, it shut down discussion for about ten minutes. The internet does something good, for a change. You can find any recipe, with helpful comments aplenty, and a thousand alternative recipes.
My next assignment is Saturday night. Iβll be watching football, so Iβll probably do something quick and easy, like your Mom. I mean, Polish sausage and sauerkraut – Iβve had a hankering for that old staple from my youth. Iβll make a crusty loaf of βartisan bread,β to go with.
Shepherd’s Pie is easy to make and very filling. π
And he will make it wrong, as you do. Fucking Americans can’t even get one simple meal correct.
Shepherd pie is SHEEP! and not even young succulent young lambs but the old sheep which has outlasted its useful life and is close to death. Technically called mutton.
If it is close to death sheep meat it is shepherds pie.
If it is made with close to death dead cow it is COTTAGE pie.
It ain’t that hard to understand.
But is it? You goto McDonalds to buy a HAMburger which has ZERO ham in it. Rest of the civilized world calls it a BEEF burger.
Have no idea what you’re talking about. I always use ground lamb. And I learned that from a Brit chef here. So….
So you do it right! Hoping Mr Pus does it right also.
Also cottage pie and shepherds pie are equally good. Just don’t mess up the names America.
We happen to have an expert on Shepherdβs Pie in the family, my son-in-law Paddy. He explained the whole problematic deal to us a few years back. π
Today I made fudge. I made up my own recipe, too, after reading through a bunch of them online. Itβs cooling now. π
My mother was a horrible cook. I mean HORRIBLE! π¦ When I had my own home in Bangkok the maid taught me to cook, especially the guidance on spices, etc. I shall remain eternally grateful to her.

Tonight we’re going to meet up and have dinner with a group of friends I worked with at the refugee office over 40 years ago. π
Thereβs a fine doc on Netflix now, βThe Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker.β Iβm not all the way through it yet, but itβs full of internet-crazed society, and a very problematic young rebel who got tsucked into the tsunami.
Am grateful I don’t subscribe to Netflix. π―
Itβs not all bad. You can still share a subscription with your whole family, as we do. Just my kids and us, not extended-family. They have a lot of woke π© on there, but thereβs some decent stuff, too. Just have to know where to look.
Octopus. Mash on top of beef stew is COTTAGE pie.
Mash on top of geriatric sheep that died of old age and got minced up is SHEPHERDS pie.
My personal preference is the old sheep version.
Don’t get me started about moussaka. That is Greek equivalent of lasagna but using ground up sheep and egg plant slices instead of ground up cow and pasta.
Octo. Ignore ISTE. Don’t use aged mutton. Use ground lamb. I don’t give a crap what he wants to call it. π
That’s for Shepherd’s Pie.
You do realise that lamb is a by product of the main reason sheep exist. Sheep make wool.
Popping out a lamb every spring is a bonus.
Same as calves that get killed and made into hot dogs are a by product of milk production. A by product.
Cows have to get pregnant and pop out a calf to continue to make milk.
Mr. Green Jeans is here today, Britsplaininβ all about the rural peculiarities of Old Blighty. And I for one am grateful for this opportunity to learn. ππ»
Mr. Green Jeans. Lolololol.
Now thereβs a dated reference! π
-Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit.Blast from the past.
-What do you call mash on top of ground up Moose and Bunny?
Cultural appropriation sez I !!
Stolen Irish potato, endangered Canadian moose and a cute little bunny from a Norwegian back yard.
Sounds tasty. Betty Crocker or Mr.Green Jeans surely have a recipe.
– If a beef steer identifies as a dairy cow, do the steaks still taste the same?
David Crosby has died. π―
I just watched his documentary a couple of weeks ago. Crazy life! Outlived a lot of lesser partiers. RIP

Candace goes off on Crowder! π―
Yeah, that whole video of his smelled of a butt hurt money grab. I wonder what happened?
I watched the video of the Daily Wire’s reaction to Crowder and I’m shocked that we’re talking about that much money.
Iβm not shocked about people fighting about money, but boy, did this escalate quickly. I remember being shocked at how much money Michelle Malkin made, selling her creations HotAir and Twitchy. Her success dovetailed neatly, if inversely, with that of Dear Fatass.
Since then, weβve seen a shit-ton of internecine warfare between βconservativesβ of all levels of genuineness, from RINOs to Real Elephants. Mostly about the money, somehow. Fancy that! π€π
I don’t usually pay much attention to poo flinging battles, but this one seems like there’s a bit more to it. Crowder did a response to Daily Wire’s reaction and included snippets of his phone call with them. I’m not interested in the legalities of it, but I wonder if he disclosed to them that he was recording it and that he planned on broadcasting it. For someone who claims to be standing on principle, that would be an awfully dirty trick if he didn’t disclose that.
Crowder asked the rhetorical question of who would turn down a $50 million dollar offer, implying that his motives are pure. Well, I would turn down a $50 million dollar offer if I thought I could make $100 million on my own. Crowder apparently thinks so highly of his business acumen that he’s doing exactly that. Betting on his business model over theirs. Nothing wrong with that, but relying on, and generating, a rift in the conservative movement to fuel and fund it is anything but principled.
Hmmβ¦is it the old saw, βAny publicity is good publicity,β-thing? While thatβs usually true, there are exceptions. Milo Yiannopoulos comes to mind.
You might be on to something there. Sort of like click bait. He set up a website for people to register to fight this behemoth, so it might just be a test run to see what level of support he can expect if he follows through. If he doesn’t generate enough interest, he can crawl back to DW and see if they’re still willing to negotiate. If he swings a deal, he can always claim to have come to terms, and that they worked through their differences for the greater good. Blah, blah, blah. Seeing how much cash is at stake, I don’t trust any of them.
That scans. None of the people weβre talking about here are dummies. Having decent money-sense is a type of smarts. Exceptions abound, of course.

Am back home. Dead tired. π«
Good news.
The flights back were mostly long and uneventful. The only one not packed to the gills was the flight from Dallas to Cleveland. What was interesting was that we no longer had to fill out immigration/customs forms. On arrival, all that was checked were our passports & we were waved through. Wow!
Saw some movies to alleviate the boredom on the flights. One was “Don’t Worry Darling”, starring Harry Styles and directed by then girlfriend Olivia Wilde. Weird story with some rather raunchy sex scenes, but I must say that, Florence Pugh, who played Harry’s wife, is actually a rather good actress.
Another movie was “Catch Me If You Can”, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen and others. It’s an old movie, but had never seen it and it’s quite entertaining. π
Yet another was “Elvis”. Forget it. Was awful.
I loved the first half-hour of βElvis,β before the sad bullshit of his real descent began. βCatch Me If You Canβ was good. True story-ish.
Welcome back, βMouse! Got snow down there? We got a couple of inches last night, and more on the way this week. YAY!
Afternoon, Octo! π
It’s been snowing for hours here today. π¦
The actor who played Elvis, Austin Butler, was an attractive guy. Tom Hanks was fat & weird looking as Colonel Tom Parker. The one thing about the movie that I didn’t know about Elvis, was the political Democrat Politician who tried to censor him.
Elvis really did bring the βrace musicβ to white America, and a LOT of people werenβt happy about it. Southern Democrats were racist crackers back then, by and large. I agree Hanks was weird-looking in that role. π
Elvis was still Kingly, though:
That scene was interesting.
It’s possible that I just don’t ‘get’ the historical impact of his music on the South at the time as I wasn’t born & raised here. Now, after living here as an adult, when I watched the movie, my first instinct was to react to the racist undertones as being inspired by leftist script writers who had white politicians denigrating his music with Confederate flags in the background. Then there was the Tom Hanks character kvetching etc. as background noise.

First thing he does on Mastodon is start bitching about Mastodon. https://mastodon.social/@Green_Footballs/109735962968793695
That’s my first view of Mastodon. Unlike Twitter, apparently there’s no auto notifications to replies to contacts – you have to name them specifically in your, um, Mastications. Charles has been mostly talking to himself.
He does that on his own site too.
And he posted his “Why I Parted” glurge. Not a single “boost” (forward).
Mastodon is smaller and separate groups of similar interests. Organized kind of like quilting clubs. You know, 4 old ladies gossiping about the one who didn’t show up./
