coming up on two years of the fediverse, my research is complete.
the only ubiquitous content is the self-referential stuff. we're all here for a reason and it hurts too much to not laugh about it.
fedi: people with money are ruining everything
twitter: why can't you just be happy for me
facebook: let's sell the data and let the market decide
apple: not on my watch
google: yes, the watches, that is a great idea
microsoft: gonna need some tiny ass software for those watches
amazon: and a way to deliver them
elon: in space and underground

In the past year I've been called "white boy" exactly two times.
The first was at a party where someone was like, "as the token white dude you'll be responsible for answering the door if the cops show up"
And the second was at my wedding posing for a photo with the same friends when my uncle that's an ex-cop whispered it to my mom, so I get it.
I got married a few days ago. For the end of my bachelor party, I MC'd a roast of myself and my replacement best man scored this shot.
