Side note: get with the preview card program already, #Mastodon. Holler if you need it coded for you.

With more folks adopting Mastodon, I wanted to remind folks that I haven't been looking at timelines for many months now; but, I do check notifications so I'm reachable via mention. Also, my FB behavior feels random. If you're reading this, and want one, just holler.

The foundational essay (until I finish the dragon rewrite):

Maria Ressa gets it. First time in awhile I've wished folks were reachable.

Welcome to Mastodon, @[email protected]. On the off chance I have better luck grabbing your attention on this platform, my essays live here. I'd start with On the American Upside Down.

Bee tee dubs, humanity, I'm oh-so-fucking ready to be reminded of what it feels like to be wrong. Feel free to fucking surprise me.

By politics-as-usualing for two years rather than pushing out massive educational outreach, @DNC, you've paved the way for every complicit @GOP m0therf$&ker to crawl back into the woodwork of a house that should have crumbled, persisting our dual reality democracy. Congrats.

Bee tee dubs, when I don't know what state your school is in, you are irrelevant to college football.

95 year-old wins best new artist … so … I guess there's still hope I might get my shit together.

A nearly two year old position for y'all as we queue up two more years of Trump obsessed dumbasses failing to see the forest through the trees.

Wanna baffle second language English speakers? Let 'em in on the fact that the expressions "couldn't give a f$&k" and "could give a f$&k" have identical meanings.

I mean … bringing on @DaveChappelle is kinda cheating … but y'all finally put a good show together @nbcsnl.

Y'all keeping talking about control of the Senate as if anything short of sixty seats could actually constitute such in a supermajority democracy.

I wonder how many more years before I can once again find my worldview on television.

These dumb m0therf$&kers think that their messaging froze the needle.

Waisted Ute

Y'all seem surprised by the 2022 election results. Perhaps I oughta finish rewriting the essay that explains why I wasn't, why you were, and how cultivating worldview diversity serves to inoculate against shock.

Y'all love your bellwethers. If you want one for the state of America's dual reality democracy, it's down in Georgia with Warnock and Herschel f$&kin' Walker—a pastor versus the least qualified m0therf$&ker I've ever seen run for office. 49 to 48, too close to call.

Jesus … @Morning_Joe … are we patting ourselves on the backs over a needle I told y'all was frozen in February of 2021? Bifurcated information ecosystem, echo chambers, closed systems, dual reality democracy, yada yada yada.

I guess my longest drive is officially greater than 250 yards since I just skipped one through the ball collector's back door.

Anyone have a @redbubble alternative? I haven't even gotten around to bothering with setting shit up yet so the art is discoverable. Not sure I will with 7 works already removed without justification (telling me to read the guidelines doesn't cut it f$&kers).

Two more removed by @redbubble. Perhaps they aren't worth my time after all.

In case anyone is confused, subversion of the 2024 election courtesy of the 2022 installation of bubble two denizens into election overseeing offices in more than half the states does not lead to a Trump occupied White House. It leads to civil war.

I'm old enough to remember when your odds of winning the lottery were worse than your odds of being struck by lightning just the once.

The @redbubble censored art roundup (at this point an account "suspension or closure" wouldn't surprise … certainly not motivating me to add tags and descriptions so my art may be found).
