For an especially auspicious first of the year, I'm sharing with you one of my favourites, this flock of flying fucks from Suffolk. May good luck and happiness find you in the !

Do you have an account on Bluesky?

mundi,

@rolle
It was very nice on the first week, but then everyone went bananas. The collapse was fast.
Like all the assholes who love Musk stayed in Twitter and all the assholes who hate Musk moved to Bluesky.

Do you consider yourself a nerd? (Definition: a person who is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject, especially one of specialist or niche interest)

In this context I’m talking about the word in its positive meaning, it can be tech, board games, movies, etc. It’s usually if you are a problem solver, a thinker, a techie.

They say Mastodon is a niche platform for nerds so I just want to see the numbers. Don’t let this influence your decision. If you think you’re even a slightest bit nerdy, it’s a yes. Otherwise no. Boosts appreciated.

mundi,

@rolle
I don't consider myself a nerd, because I don't believe in self consideration.

Do you feel spooky season coming upon you? Let this so-called ‘carpe diem’ mosaic send shivers down your spine! Certainly the jugs suggests some celebration to come 🏺🏺

I'm trying to follow all the updates about the Pope's visit to Mongolia. (A country with less than 2,000 Catholics).
This photo really captured me and I'm not sure why.

mundi, to religiousstudies

When do we frame a set of traditions, values, texts or rituals as a denomination or sect and when do we frame it as a whole religion?
How do we know that Eastern Orthodox church and Protestant church belong to the same religion but are not the same religion as Judaism? When does a sect become a religion by its own?
I’m focusing here on western religions, because as I have seen it, westerners put more efforts to emphasise these boundaries.

It’s so sort of a sitcom, I guess.
I have found the only humorous part of The Bible to be the part when Jesus plays smart on Pontius Pilatus:
“Are you the king of the Jews?”
-“You said so.” 😎 THUG LIFE

Threads is looking better and better. What I wanted from social media was:

  • self-promotion from celebrities and rich people

  • no control over my timeline

  • strict prohibition of any sexual content

  • nothing from europe

  • no alt-text

  • data harvesting to empower genocides

mundi,

@maxkennerly
Genocides?

Only Saturday is still named after Shabtay (Saturn)

And that's funny when they start from Sunday and in China on Monday and it causes confusion.

My favorite is the Hungarian week:

Nice thread, everyone.
I think it's the best thread I've had on Mastodon so far.
In fact, it's the only thread I've had on Mastodon so far.
