Tim Pool ends 2022 with a weird-ass Kanye interview that Kanye ends up storming out of.

'Kanye starts railing on the Jews and after a few minutes of ranting, Tim starts to push back in the slightest way ... and that's all it takes for Ye to hop out of his chair and bolt for the exit.'

March 2022, from The Daily Beast:

'And now, the premise of this Kremlin accusation is being asserted and defended by some of the country’s most popular Trump-aligned media personalities, including America’s most-watched cable host Tucker Carlson, former presidential adult son Donald Trump Jr., and beanie-clad “disaffected liberal” YouTube creator Tim Pool.'

Y'all, I had a very productive Labor Day weekend. I finished WikiTwister AND I got my upgrade to MastoGizmos finished! MastoGizmos ( https://mastogizmos.com/ ) is a set of 11 tools for exploring #Mastodon.

Here's a thread about the tools. If you have a friend who isn't on the fedi but is Mastodon-curious, let them know about MastoGizmos - you don't need a Mastodon account to use any of the tools.

MastoGizmo is free to use, free of ads, and works best on desktop. Let's go!

MastoTrends -- https://mastogizmos.com/mt.html

MastoTrends grabs ten random instances from Instances.Social and fetches their trending link lists. I just made this for a quick look at what's hot around Mastodon. For a more in-depth look (with an RSS feed!) try FediTrends ( https://feditrends.com/ ).

Gift Article Gazette -- https://mastogizmos.com/gag.html

Gift Article Gazette aggregates Mastodon posts hashtagged "GiftLink" or "GiftArticle." Because gift links usually expire, links are filtered from the last two weeks' worth of posts.

The Big Mastodon Hashtag Search -- https://mastogizmos.com/bmhs.html

The Big Mastodon Hashtag Search searches 14 popular Mastodon instances with the option for you to add your own.

The search results offer a number of filters. There's a slider where you can filter by social score (calculated based on the number of replies/reposts/favorites) and a number of filtering checkboxes for recency, content marked sensitive, bots, verified accounts, etc. You can also keyword-search returned results.

'Lawyers representing Elon Musk and X, previously known as Twitter, have quietly begun sending subpoenas to a host of public interest groups, Mother Jones has learned. Most of the targeted organizations have signed open letters to X’s advertisers expressing concerns about the platform’s direction under Musk’s leadership.'

"X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, said today that it’s ending operations in Brazil, although the service will remain available to users in the country. The announcement comes during a legal battle with Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who sought to block certain accounts on X as part of an investigation into election disinformation and 'digital militias.'"

Oh my word. FUCK YOU DISNEY

'The lawsuit claims that Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant despite repeatedly informing the waiter of her severe allergy.

Disney is calling for the lawsuit to be dismissed because her husband signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service years prior.

The company says signing up for the trial requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company.'

What kind of Paul Blart stuff is this

'A popular shopping mall in Torrance that made news when it was forced to briefly shut down during the winter because of unruly teenagers is back in the headlines again after one of its security guards did “doughnuts” in the parking lot while blasting Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.”'
