Starshit Poopers

I would like to know more.

I see what you’re saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.

They are incapable of understanding that it is the lack of progressive policies that keep their region a neglected backwater.

I know a Reverend Kolunda reference when I see one.
It’s Insane, This Guy’s Taint:

“Be kind, rewind… re-wind? Who fights the wind?”
“The Windbreaker!”
“Precisely! Let’s go!”

Meth and cousins is what gets the job done in those there parts.

Then the terrible roads must somehow be the fault of "those libruls’, when there’s not a liberal in sight as far as the crow flies for a couple of days at least.

When you turn on Fox News for news about foxes, but turn into a conspiracy theory-following reactionary right-wing imbecile.

HEAR HEAR!

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Twitter! imitation social network spread.

I’ve yet to see vertical comic strips, those guys deadpanning then cheering, or Batman interrogating The Joker, something-something “I can’t believe I accidentally the Coke bottle”.

I rather like the shitpost bombardment. It’s the type of thing that creates a party vibe, and it could attract more than a few eyeballs to peek and linger. As the content can be somewhat dry in a community that’s just starting out, this helps to normalize the place, make it more familiar to visiting eyes.

This current shitposting challenge sure as hell beats a barrage of anti-reddit, anti-musk, anti-zuckerberg posts, as well as “how does this [Fediverse/instances/posting/etc] work?” dominating the All page.

You forgot the wildcard:

Beans

I think the people of this country are sick and tired of being told that they are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Maybe that should be Vitamin F

He plans to keep it as a private foundation that is using a donation model to keep it going.

I abandoned Whatsapp several years ago and since then have used Signal nearly every day (to keep in touch with a handful of friends), have had a recurring monthly donation set up for a couple of years now.

One on the one hand there’s the privacy, but what clinched it for me originally was the ability to seamlessly switch from my tablet to the cellphone to the desktop, all Apple. Signal was (and probably still is) better at this than Whatsapp.

“I don’t want to give Zuckerberg all my information for free, or ever, at all” - is what I’ve said to people when they ask why I don’t have Whatsapp. For the most part, they shrug as if to say “fair enough”. By and large, it’s become an acceptable reason.

Through the past few years, I’ve been communicating with my five best friends via Signal. They installed the app and started using it just to stay in touch with me. Like I said - best friends, they did that for me.

But their gesture have been rewarded…! …with Twitter-thread-style text walls from Yours Truly! About whatever subject is on my mind that night.

From the 70s films of Robert Altman, to the impact of The Stone Roses on 90s British music, to the difference between Baroque and Rococo, to Major League Baseball rule changes, to Bitcoin miners in Xinjiang and Kazakhstan, to Neutrino Cosmic Background Radiation, to good ol’ fashioned meme shitposting - surreal memes, recursive memes, dank memes, bone hurting juice… you name it, we got it.

So far, they don’t seem to mind it too much. It doesn’t happen every day and I gotta feel inspired, as opposed to bored texting.

Baked beans with cookie dough and caramel.
The other one is caramel with baked beans.
The other one is cookie dough with baked beans.
The other one is caramel with cookie dough.
Then there’s Cherry Garcia.

So it’s beans now? The dastardly agenda we must push.

“The bean bots are coming! The bean bots are coming!”
“Son… the bean bots are not coming. They have ARRIVED.”

More like the ketchup packets.
