The Muppet Christmas Carol!

I will be watching from Thailand at 10 pm Indochina time and will make an initial post to get it started, you're welcome to post on that thread as you watch from wherever you are on this big, beautiful planet. Please tag comments with #christmaswatchparty and/or #muppetchristmascarol so that we can keep up with each other. It may also prove to be helpful to write the timestamp of the film on each comment, so that people who watch asynchronously can still enjoy their favorite parts together. Boosts welcome so that no one is left out on the holiday 😊

What I do love about #Mastodon and the greater #Fediverse, by the way, are the personalities. There *is* a culture here.

Other microblogging sites have a sort of algorithmic supremacy going on where you trade personality for a ticket to the internet celebrity lottery. No individualism. You pick your niche from a set deck and you play the FYP slots.

Meanwhile, everyday I run into someone who's like "hey I'm star-cake. I'm a queer carrot farmer. I collect Soviet-era camera lenses." Amazing.

#happyholidays to the #fediverse from #australia

This happy little group of **Musk Lorikeets**, (*Trichoglossus concinnus*), was photographed in Tathra, NSW. Probably the best (bird) photo I captured in 2025. Thanks to all the kind folk on #mastodon who shared #camera info and tips. I'm very happy with the #canon #r10 and Rf100-400mm I used for this. Minimal editing in #darktable - which is also great.

Positive vibes for 2026? Trying to cut some closed source services off (I'm talking about money) such as ChatGpt paid version, I had to use for work. And maybe Audible, once I finish the books I have in my shelf.
Then I start walking the path of SelfHost and try installing something new. I currently have PlusBrothers.net which is my main WordPress and activitypub based website. But I could try installing a mastodon or whatever. No idea on how easy or difficult it is.

I've only had this account on the fediverse/mastodon for 3 years, yet I've had more weird hate than at any other time I've been online except possibly USENET in the 1990s and Twitter in the 2010s when I was tweeting favorably about Occupy. People here have suggested I'm lying more times than I remember. I mean dang, it's fine to disagree with someone but you don't need to besmirch their character. If this were the 18th century we'd be dueling.

I tend to speak my mind because I'm of the opinion that the Abilene paradox should not be a lifestyle, and that's gotten me some IRL hate over the years. But given what I've experienced here and how I've seen others treated, I'd say Mastodon really is something special in this regard.
