"You could lose access to your 20 years of Gmail history" I'm sure that was intended as a nudge to get me to give my phone number but it came across more like "You've had the same email address for two decades, cool cool cool, except it's on SOMEONE ELSE'S DOMAIN NAME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! And you've let them read and control your email for TWENTY YEARS?! How did you let this happen! No, don't look away, you have to fix this or it'll stagnate for another decade, this is an EMERGENCY you absolute MUPPET," ~~~EDIT: This became a thread, and Mastodon's thread handling remains as broken today as it was in 2017.

You’ve waited for it, and now it is here: your 2025 OotY lineup! There look to be many competitive races right off the bat. There’s an amazing assortment of owl type from around the globe, and in the third year, we’ve really refined the list of owls down to some of the best. Both halves of the bracket seem balanced, and no owl has what I feel is an easy path forward. This may be our best tournament ever! My goal is to start the games Monday Dec 1 with White Face / Buff Fronted and Spectacled / Black and White. In the meanwhile, take a look at the bracket and tell me which matches have you excited/anxious. Which are going to be the toughest for you? Who has the best chance of winning? Do you see one who you think is going to come out of nowhere? Will Saw Whet or White Face win again, or are we going to see a new champ crowned? Whatever your thoughts, let’s hear them!
