My kid is watching Ragnarok. It's my favorite of the Marvel movies.

And there really is no scene better than the battle on the bridge.

Ahh that time on west coast Mastodon when everyone else in North America has gone to bed and Europe hasn't woken up yet...

@mike

As winter was approaching, it was magical. Europe would awaken and my feed was filled with frosty mornings.

Jdreben, to fediverse

question, I know it's not built in, but is there any library or script I could use to delete my old posts? I find myself wanting to post on Mastodon rather than Calckey simply for the auto-deletion feature.

I love the auto-deletion feature! It keeps me in check in some weird way.

I’ve been struggling to spend much time on Mastodon lately because my feed is >50% discussion of Bluesky

Seeing them makes me feel a terrible cocktail of:

  • FOMO for not having an invite
  • Confusion over why everyone cares so much all of a sudden
  • Fear that the wonderful community I’ve found here on Masto in the last 6 months will die because everyone will leave
  • Existential dread over the immense difficulty of managing a community-governed social media platform

It’s been tough 😖

I think if Bluesky had launched in November, I would have been curious. But I've been here for 5 months now and there's been a noticeable change in my physical well-being, including a drop in blood pressure.

The idea of a recreated twitter experience (with all the drama and mess) holds much less appeal for me now that my body's self-regulation is more stable.

May a thousand platforms bloom or whatever, I just hope there isn't a mass migration away from here. I'd be sad to lose this place.

@kims

I think that many of the big and/or professional accounts lost their opportunity to establish the alternative to Twitter by staying on the bird site beyond December, and they see the mistake as their audience is now fragmented. I see the push for Bluesky as the opportunity to gather us all up and be their passive audience again.

And I'm not interested in that.

This platform is not complex.

Hey_Beth,

@StillIRise1963

And given some of the concerns about Bluesky, the decision to be here is even less complex.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

@StillIRise1963

Not sure if you saw the thread with Tim Chambers. Something about Blue sky users will have to set controls to not see posts about torture as instances are not allowed to take down content. There was some discussion as to whether this was Bluesky's policy, but it is clear that there is no moderation.

Not a hard call to make. Mastodon is where I am staying.

Toot like no one is reading it.

Mostly because everyone went to bed hours ago.

Sears did dental work? Did not know that.

Here is my second grade photo with a tooth MIA. And that would be an Avon pin that had a perfume cream inside.

Ours were black and white, too. And very uniform. Girls with the drape and guys with tuxes.

My husband's is in color, and everyone could just submit their senior portrait. All of them are quite different. And as color-blocked sweaters were all the rage, the photos are very...bright.

I know people like calling DeSantis a smarter Trump, but I’m not so sure about that if he’s spending a lot of his time fighting with a popular conglomerate of entertainment and theme parks.

Okay, WOW Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox.

I'll offer the Washington Post article as a gift through my subscription.

https://wapo.st/40C53J8

Apparently it was Carlson’s comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, that played a role in his departure from Fox.

Goodness gracious.

Stop mocking DeSantis’ performance in polls.

If anything happens and that previous bloated carcass can’t run, DeSantis will be the GOP candidate and the GOP will get in lockstep and vote for him.

Meanwhile, the Dems will trip over themselves to keep attacking their own candidate. As always.

Be extraordinarily careful what you wish for.

Hey_Beth,
@Hey_Beth@sfba.social avatar

@Jake_Vig

Yes! All. Of. This.

DeSantis is on the ropes right now, but that is only because the buffoon is dominating the ring. Fox has declared DeSantis first runner-up and will be the nominee should Trump not be able to complete his reign.

The most demented Miss America ever.

I love YA biographies. As a teacher, I tried to hook kids into a passion as it could fuel a love of reading, and biographies were a key part of that.

In November I saw this book at our library and checked it out. I read two chapters and realized what a treasure it was. I had to put it aside for a bit. Ignoring all the friendly reminders to to return it, I finally got back to it this weekend. It is amazing.

Yesterday, I realized it was written by @Teri_Kanefield.
