My dream #snl show would be in May, having #stephencolbert on prior to his last show (so an NBC show supporting a CBS host) with a guest appearance by #jimmykimmel (from ABC) and a sketch addressing attempts at censorship in the way only an SNL skit could. That would be 😚👌

As the world continues to spin into darker places, it is nice to see the joy and wholesomeness that can exist on #mastodon. This community may be smaller than other social media platforms but its grounding away from AI and into humanity make it feel like a safer space.
