It's cruel to show me cool international news, when my local news is like, "MMA tournament on Whitehouse lawn set to take place in jello filled pool" and "President declares tariff on Q-tips" And "3rd Marine Expeditionary Force successfully lands at Applebee's in Manhattan, stages push into Queens"

The Influencers never prospered here because we want people, not brands.

I'm currently designing a logo so I'm paying more attention to logo designs.

Ink & Switch popped up on Hacker News again, and I sincerely love any logo design that requires position: absolute

Kinda proud I came up with this independently yesterday, though "tax escrow" is a much more compact phrase for communicating the idea! See 1 and 4 here.

Side note: I'm not anti-creator or anti-selling things. #Mastodon has some really great creators who do quality work.

Communities can sustain markets. I'm anti-markets cosplaying community.

If your first inclination upon seeing a new Mastodon user is to tell them all the ways they are Doing It Wrong, consider maybe just not doing that

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be decent to other people, just like you should try to be everywhere else.

Please enjoy jwz mixtape 255.

Last night we did a screening of The Lost Boys, and it was epic. Amongst all of our Cyberdeliae, this was the one with the rowdiest audience: lots of screaming and singing along. Excellent costume contest entries, too.

For this one I did something a little different from the others: instead of DJ music over abstract visuals, I filled the pre-roll and intermission with music videos featuring VAMPIRES. I only needed 30 and 20 minutes...

The polls for the man in the White House are … not good. All this, and voters blame Republicans for the shutdown instead of Democrats by double digits.

A second posting will follow with more polling results. All this and polls show voters blaming Republicans and not Democrats for the shutdown by double digits.

Absolutely abysmal polling results:

So how about some diversionary attacks on racial minorities living in large cities run by Democrats, breaking doors down, rapelling in with helicopters, dragging people out of their dwellings in dead of night, some naked, and zip-tying them, including children?

Even if Democrats were to win, they won't make the kind of substantive changes and punish those responsible severely enough to prevent someone like Trump from happening again.

I know because we've already been through this before.

This, by the way, was my CBS staff photo, taken when I was hired in 1998.

The photographer was John Filo, then head of photography at CBS.

He won a Pulitzer Prize for his photo of the 1970 shooting at Kent State.

When I learned HE would be taking the picture for my CBS staff ID (“Seriously?!”), I realized I was suddenly in a whole different league.

(Even John couldn’t make ME look good, but that’s not his fault.)

It's not the sign-up process that's preventing a mass-migration to #Mastodon. Reduce barriers to entry, sure. But it was not so long that we had to load a CD, type in credentials, and listen to the Internet demons summon our connection.

No, it's that Mastodon isn't suitable for Internet fame. The big accounts will ever come to a place that doesn't support an algorithmic caste system. How'd they know who's more important? If the big accounts won't come neither will anyone else

For each of the last few days, I've gotten half a dozen new followers of the form "So and So from Gaza" with a profile pic of either a stern-faced man or a crying baby, and a gofundme link. Surely they're all fake, but if they were real would that be *more* awful or less?

i think it's funny when people say "mastodon has moderation issues too!"

of course it does. it's millions of real, messy humans interacting over multiple communities with intersecting and often contradictory rules, moderated by real, messy humans with feelings and biases. of course it has moderation issues, it's inescapable when you put millions of people together

the thing that makes fedi (imo) better is that here you get to at least *choose* the messy humans making the decisions for you
