Elon Musk, a rabbi and a punk are on a small airplane. The cockpit door flies open, the pilot jumps out, screams “We’ve been hit, the co-pilot’s dead! There are two chutes in the back! Good luck!” He blows the emergency release on the door and jumps out.

Musk runs to the back. As he’s threading his arms through the straps he yells “My genius is needed by the world. The world’s smartest man is needed!” and runs right out the door.

The rabbi looks at the punk and says to her “My young sister, I have lived a long life. Take the last parachute and live your best life.”

The punk looks at her, looks at the back of the cabin and says “Naw, we’re good. The world’s smartest man just jumped out of the plane with my backpack.”

If you ever want to see a Trump supporter go apeshit insane, just casually mention he's never won an election against a man.

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry.

Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka ) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website.

Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon happen.

Hitler goes to see an astrologer, as he so often does. He asks:
"When will I die?"
The astrologer pours over his charts for a while, and then answers:
"You will die on a Jewish holiday."
"But which one? Which one?!"
The astrologer pauses, peers over his half-moon glasses, and answers:
"Adolf, any day you die will be a Jewish holiday."

Happy Hitler Shot Himself Day, everyone!

@owncast maybe spin up a single user instance under your own sub domain? Then all politics will be your own .. Spinning up a gotosocial instance would a good no muss. no fuss, low maintenance option if you went that route

@LevZadov what do you mean "gonna need" guns, you better already have some of those lined up! People aren't going to show up en-mass .. Americans, especially boomers, are not going to wake up until the whole thing is destroyed. Shooting each other is the inevitable outcome here unless a miracle occurs :/

Thought for today ..

I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click share.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.
