Am I the only one getting a hell of a lot of screens like this when clicking on Google ads? I could care less but all the folks paying for the ads oughta be pissed.

Thought I oughta mention, @manton, that the only thing controversial about me (that I can tell) is my use of special-charactered cursing … and that this is an entirely throttleable attribute. Feel free to ask me to tone something down or keep some example or another out of the help center (like the Medium screenshot I just added to one of my replies).

For some unknown reason, I am fascinated with literal use situations for sh$t slang. A fresh one popped into my head as I watch my hella old schnoodle Murphy work one out in the backyard.

“So, you get that sh$t taken care of?”

Should anyone happen to be curious, the fascination started when I began cleaning Disco's stall and I was all:

"Man, I f$&king hate this sh$t."

Doubt Medium will be of much use, but here is a link to my favorite creative nonfiction essay to date so as to test out cross-posting:

On Dragons

You know, I am not against the functionality of emojis, just the stylistic hijacking of their appearance by all our operating systems. Keep that sh$t in the fonts where it belongs.

You can completely customize the structure of GLightbox and use CSS to change any part you want.

Feels like my next possible just for the f$&k of it time sink.

Part of me wants to get creative with a custom 404 page, the rest of me realizes the only one likely to land there will be me.

Then again, I do have a history of decorating pages only intended for me.

So … @manton … I bet the challenge is creating a platform open enough for folks like me to get under the hood … but not so open as to compromise the curated/timeline aspect of the platform. Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not on the right track. You are.

Any follower count shown in Mastodon for a Micro.blog user will be wrong.

Fun fact, if these following/followers counts happen to be 0/0, I am like the one Micro.blog user connected up to Mastodon with accurate counts.

Patience … you must have … my young padawan.

How I miss hanging out with my boys. Could be what's missing.

This breakdown has been consistent and still boggles my mind. I posted a lot yesterday. The mastodon traffic is reliable when I do so. The one iOS visitor was me. There were no Micro.blog visitors.
