I absolutely scheduled a date for the #tootpocalypse where everyone toots at the same time, creating a massive server breaking #tootstorm and opening a portal to the abyss.

However, I refuse to tell anyone what the date and time is so I can take credit for it when it does happen.

Heute #tootstorm von @janboehm und ich liebs. ☺️

#TootStorm

So fair warning: The #CFB playoff game between the #2 ranked Michigan Werewolves and #3 ranked TCU Horned Frogs starts in just a bit.

If you don't want to see my #TootStorm, I'd mute the #Football hashtag now.

This rather melancholy trip down memory lane landed with a thud over on Twitter, but I'll share it here too because, well, because I'm feeling wistful and it feels important. And maybe it'll make for a more thorough introduction to the sort of thing I write about (when it doesn't involve raunchy fantasy, that is) and where all these stories come from - or, at the very least, it might make for an entertaining read. #Tootstorm incoming?

@rose this is a nice toot! Especially like to think of this picture and the #tootstorm #raspberrypi found themselves in the other day. 🤣🤣
Is there an emoji?

Thus concludes today's #TootStorm. #GoBlue #football

IT'S TIME.

Buckle up cowboys and Ccowgals!

Time for something probably never seen before on Mastodon.

@TheMangaCowboy is going next tweet live on the first ever #lightnovel dedicated to #discgolf right here on #mastodonmigrant

#FullFlightNovel

If you want to read one of the the craziest #webnovel or #webseries tune in on right now, before it's #manga or #webtoon, go to my handle @TheMangaCowboy and lets see if Mastodon is ready to handle hundreds and hundreds of toots in a #tootstorm

@Erex12 lol #tootstorm 😂

@Chapman #tootstorm

@gunthert c'est le choix, pas inintéressant, fait par #piaille pour autoriser le #crosspost là où #mamot a fait le choix de l'interdire : beaucoup de personnes sur #mastodon sont quasi allergiques à tout ce qui concerne #Twitter, ça a déjà provoqué de grosses ... #tootstorm (et ça m'avait d'ailleurs fait fuir) Cette forme de discrétion de "plier" le tweet et masquer le media permettra peut-être de trouver un compromis, à voir avec le temps...

I re-posted a few things that had been taken down, this time with CW. #tootstorm

@CarlMuckenhoupt Freedom and power to me describe different elements of goal-attainment.

Power refers to the active and instrumental element. That is, power is the specific capacity to initiate change.

Freedom refers to constraints on power, a sort of negative space. Freedom is the ability to act without inhibition, but it isn't the action itself.

So ... closely related, yes. Negative spaces, yes. Synonyms: no, though clearly closely related.

@mike Sorry everyone for yesterday's #tootstorm. I found a script for importing tweets and didn't realize that using it wasn't a good idea. It won't happen again.

@temporal Adding: if you want to argue that your manipulation is valid, then that manipulation must serve the original ends of the want, and not the want itself.

Put another way, any time you're reaching into a control system and directly manipulating the control mechanics themselves, you're violating the design constraints under which the control system was designed or evolved (no, "evolution" doesn't equal "intelligent design", though the results can be similar).

Asking someone to click when they see a blue light and then directly manipulating the retina, or optic nerve, or visual cortex to give the impression of "blue" violates the premise that a perception of blue is a ground truth of blue.

Dumping opiods on the brain, or sugar in the gut, or sexy actors all over a car, or in advertising for tobacco or alcohol, or relying on nicotne and ethanol to give sensations of pleasure without a ground-truth cause ... are manipulations.

(Not all of these are necessarily bad. But they remain manipulations.)

An anesthesiologist is serving the end. Your pusherman or the Sackler famly (but I repeat myself) not so much.
