@angelofmusic27.bsky.social's hubby. HoriZone Roundtable (@horizoneroundtable.com) head honcho. Wrote a couple of books. Broken toy. I don't like being told what side I'm on. Definitely said something that made you mad.

So, I messed up my Cleveland feed and had to start over again.

It appears that cledotcom are generating AI stories to recap Cleveland State home games now...and not even all of them.

Just go to horizoneroundtable.com instead for CSU stories. And throw us a couple bucks if you can, too.

Yeah. Fernando Mendoza definitely talks like a guy who's only on LinkedIn.

Somebody needs to get Elmo off the Ex-Bird Site.

For real.

I read the whole thing. What a ride, both figuratively and literally!
This is a WILD thread—that is still ongoing bsky.app/profile/musi...

I keep seeing posts about Threads having more active daily users than the Ex-Bird Site.

Really? I got the impression that Threads was like any Avatar movie in that apparently both attract quite an audience, and yet I have no proof that THAT many people exist.

In case you were wondering what happened to Grover Dill after the Scut Farkus Affair.
It remains unclear if that is in fact a child, either way CBP/ICE continues to harass protestors

I'm not convinced you'll follow me at my Mastodon bridged account (@bobmcdonald.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy), but I continue to lean towards spending infinitely more time there than here.

I'm at the point where I prescribe to the idea that I don't want my site relying on ANY social media to drive traffic.

This isn't a cure-all, of course, but it's the best I can do until I come up with something better.
You don't have to rely on social media to alert you when we post something. You can just let us email you. And you can even opt to get a digest of all of our weekly posts instead!

Oh, and Patrons will get this, too, as yet another perk!

I field-tested this in eighth grade. This totally works.
If you punch a bully in the mouth, he backs down. If you cower and try to pretend things are ok, he’ll keep taking your lunch money.

Just in case anyone needs to hear this.

Why yes, my expectation that the moderation lists I subscribe to here will block any bullshit accounts the second they crop up. Why do you ask?

Remember all those jackbags who yelled All Lives Matter and aren't saying shit now?

Yeah, I just wanted to remind everyone that was a dodge and they were racists the entire time.

So, you know how everyone is saying that we need to fight back?

Yeah, that means there's going to be times where you're going to have to FIGHT fight.

Don't know what that means to you, be it taking tae kawn do classes at the Y or learning how to set up booby traps on the Dark Web, be but prepared.

It's amazing how fast the phrase "We're cooked" got way overused.

I'm kind of at the point where the next time I see it, I'm almost obligated to reply, "Super..can you slide on over so I can put my brats on the fire, too?"

I blame Danica Patrick for Ludacris being on this bill.

As for Nelly? His neverending quest to get Trump to forgive his massive tax debt continues.

Also, someone needs to walk me through the conversation where Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert agreed to be on the same bill together.

I have only a limited capacity for being pissed off. And it's not 24/7. That would be super unhealthy. So, I've decided that since some of you seem to take shifts keeping me pissed off, I've decided to retain one of you as a follower and unfollow the rest.

I saw a few weeks ago a video from West Virginia about how the state turned red because Dems shifted way too much into "identity politics."

The state is currently fighting ONE trans athlete in the U.S. Supreme Court to keep her from playing sports. What the fuck do you call THAT???
