Happy Caturday! Here is Tooey with her favorite toy, “Fat Twitter.” 😸#caturday

Wait, so he thought that ridiculous shot of him in an inane superhero outfit - claiming that America needs a new "superhero" ('cause he's, you know, 9 years old) was him thinking it would wet our whistle for nonexistent "trading cards"?!! Yeah, that's a gamechanger, all right...

A lot of us are here because we value a social space where the prevailing norms affirm tolerance and support creativity. Where there are (group) norms, individuals don't have to work so hard to police their own social boundaries. I thought about this a lot and then wrote an essay. I would be interested in your feedback. /nosanitize

Minneapolis police identified a suspect who they believe helped initiate the riots and destruction in the city following the killing of George Floyd.

He is associated with the “Aryan Cowboys,” a White supremacist prison and street gang. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/28/us/umbrella-man-associated-white-supremacist-group-george-floyd

Uh . . . I must have missed something. The New York Young Republicans at their "annual gala" were in a tizzy because they are "at war" with "the left." I assume that includes most teachers, scientists, artists, musicians, Democrats, etc. I hadn't noticed. Was there some "battle in the street" that I missed? Please advise.
Also, great Fever Dream podcast on this topic, if you're as baffled as I am: https://shows.acast.com/fever-dreams/episodes/91

The exodus of politically focussed users from Birdsite is well under way.
Toxicity always infects discussions about politics and religion first. Niches like arts and crafts are less vulnerable, but eventually even those subject areas become infested by assholes.
Once the overall feed starts to look like the Comments section of the local newspaper or TV station, you know that it is time to move on.

@CharlotteJ0 That ought to be illegal - money in US politics is an evil that kills.

I was beginning to think Apple was going to release iPad and iOS 16.2 on Xmas as they’re present to us.
But no, they’re available today.

What does everyone eat on Christmas Eve if you celebrate? Hubby and I do a Melting Pot hot oil fondue at home with shrimp, beef, vegetables and all the fun sauces. What’s your tradition curious? 🤷‍♀️🎅👩‍🦰

Pretty Sure the dumbest thing I ever did was think anonymous was cool. Yeah had some fun and some laughs but probably could have used my skills in a better way. Live and Learn. 👻

Everything must go! That includes the chairs, the desks, and wait...even the coffee maker?

It seems that Twitter's San Francisco HQ is having a liquidation sale and is auctioning everything. According to a posting on the Heritage Global Partners website

there's been a lot of fat shaming of santa in the feed tonight.

listen up, peeps. santa is chubby & jolly. & we like him just fine that way.

think about it. an anemic santa. a stick santa. a svelte santa would just not fill out the suit like we expect. there would be no softness to lean into when we're giving him hugs & asking for gifts.

nopity nope nope.

he's fat by design. he's fat b/c we like him that way.

stop w/ the fat shaming already. he's lovable just as he is, thank you very much.

Have some Tom Waits.
