Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

I have terrible news: Guy Fieri can no longer be trusted.

I'm going to storm the Capitol of Flavortown.

Reskeet if you'll stand with me:

Threads vs. Twitter is literally two billionaires fighting over who gets to monetize your data by selling your eyeballs to brands in their own monopolistic walled garden.

Looks amazing!

figure from documentation for "a sony-owned patent for an interactive commercial system that allows viewers to skip commercials by yelling the brand name of the advertiser at their television or monitor." chillingly, the person stands as they shout MCDONALDS, implying an expectation of enthusiasm on the part of the consumer.

everyone signing up for threads

So is Zuck gonna Thread about smoking his meats, or???

No.

Only one man is laughing tonight.

Really looking forward to Bo Burnham’s sequel to Inside.

But Laura! aLl oF mY fAvOrItE BRANDS aRe ThErE!

Sonic the Hedgehog made of thread

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Threads kind of sucks! I wanted to like it but it's no good!

Like why?!

Sorry to hear it bud. 😞

Remembering the days of mass exodus over to MySpace because Friendster began suffering performance issues and frequent DDOS attacks. The difference was at least that experience wasn’t intentional.

He’s too chicken to go outside. But he enjoys sitting by the door, smelling the air and longingly gazing at the herbs and veggies.

It’s giving me the end of Friendster vibes. 👵🏻

Any time I garden, this absolute unit hangs out by the door waiting for a snack as toll for passage into the house.

A photograph from the movie The Shining. It’s a black and white photo of revelers in black tie formalwear and gowns. A man stands at the center, smiling. It’s labeled “Overlook Hotel, July 4th Ball, 1921”

Logging onto Bluesky on the 4th of July

Thanks for the hookup!

All sorted! Thanks all!

Enjoying the early-stage social media platform vibes. Let’s all enjoy it until the nazis find a way in. 🙏

Any kind folks possibly able to help Christian Svensson get a code? I haven’t been here long enough. He’s hanging on a waitlist.

*taps the microphone* Ok, I’m on here as well, I guess. 😅
