I have automated cross-platform posting set up, so you'll occasionally see links to centralised commercial social media platforms in my toots. But this isn't just another channel for me: I'm active here, like it here, and if you interact with me here, I'll respond here.

Moreover, once the Fediverse has a bit more critical mass, I plan to "reverse the polarity" so that this is the point of origin for my cross-platform posts. But so far most of the people I want to tag in stuff aren't here yet. 🤔

Yes, yes, I know. But you'll laugh. https://youtu.be/nws1JQHBlJA

Haters gonna hate, but the man can act, so I'm making a prediction on the record here: Pattinson will nail this part. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/may/31/robert-pattinson-is-the-new-batman

This must be the most exciting place in the world! 🤔 https://www.yolocounty.org/

What's up with so many #Meetup groups being created, scheduling no events, and then disappearing again? What's the point? 🤔

First they came for the journalists.

We don't know what happened after that. https://www.apnews.com/89547adf8a8846c3991a4e6c57ce50ef

Trevor Noah hits and misses, but this one's a home run! 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oxfzabpTWY

That episode was totally lit! 😮

I'm in higher ed, and even I had no idea what the people at my son's #k12 schools were saying. I knew to say, "I don't know what this is," but surely many of parents were too intimidated to speak up. https://lnkd.in/eUHRyxA

But at least I'm not hurt that they chose Johnny Cash. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/439425-johnny-cash-statue-to-replace-confederate-figure-on-capitol
