Looking for you on Mastodon. I couldn't find you with obvious searches, So I looked for snarky responses to Charlie Sykes' intro post. I found PdlPeet mentioning a burning dumpster and figure that's you or one of your loyal fans. I followed just in case.

Speaking as an electric guitarist of 45 years, "Marshall Law" is as follows: Turn every knob on the front panel all of the way to the right. Hearing protection is strongly advised.
Fraud, like violent crime, is not to be celebrated, even when it happens to perfectly horrible people.
If the US were Florida, DeSantis would be the highest level threat, but as there is still a sizeable sane population, he is only a second or third level threat.
Not saying that he couldn't actually happen, just that he is distinctly lacking in the things that made Fergus happen when we didn't think he would.
It would appear that ~45,000 Fergus supporters have pulled C-notes out of their beer and meth money and sent it to Fergus for one of his NFTs. I mean, I have done some spectacularly stupid things in my time, including actually losing a hundred dollar bill, but never anything that blisteringly dumb.
It was probably just the lift Fergus needed when things are all turning to shit for him at once. I can imagine him sitting on a bench in the prison yard yukking it up with his fellow convicts about the time he sold the partial rights to a digital image to 45,000 suckers for $99 a pop.
Elon shoulda stuck with rockets. "What? The EU is threatening to ban Twitter? Hey, guys! Just kidding! You can all come back now. Except Olbermann." (although I just looked at his feed and it didn't look suspended to me).
I just took a survey that arrived on my phone as a text, and it asked whether I supported Joe Biden, and I said yes, I strongly support Joe Biden. I just felt like every time I saw his approval rating slagged in the media and went "Nobody ever asked me" so when they finally did, I told them.
Thank you again for the podcast. The several feet of forecasted snow turned out to be six inches or so, and we made it to the grocery store yesterday without too much hassle. The cat remains disgusted at us for allowing it, but still ventures out in it to do his business.
