Congratulations to the James Beard Media Award winners — the best of the best in food writing and broadcasting. Here's a post from @Eater listing all the winners — a couple of whom have collaborated with @Flipboard in the past.
Congrats to Abi Balingit, author of "Mayumu," who won the James Beard Emerging Voice category and curated this delicious Storyboard for @Flipboard about Filipino desserts.
In 2020, @Flipboard worked with K.J. Kearney, creator of Black Food Fridays, who has just been announced as winner of the James Beard Award for Social Media Account. Here's his fantastic Storyboard on why we all need to talk about Black cuisine, which features stories about the significance of pound cake and Hennessy, the commodification of resistance, and books about Black food history.
Are Mastodon users really happy with thread behavior? So, for example, this post had a lot of replies, but even if you look at it on the original instance you can't see any of them. You can see my reply to the post on my server, but it is no longer connected to the original post. So it is often impossible to read old threads (& of course even to see all replies on a current one).
But also: I know why the other frustrating thread behavior happens (that you often can't see all the replies to a thread because no one on your instance is following another instance, etc.). I don't know why this one happens? Why would a response become detached from a thread?
N628TS (Elon’s main jet) is at Fort Worth Alliance Airport back in maintenance with Gulfstream. Just days after it was with Gulfstream Service in Appleton, WI for several months.
So after being in Mastodon land for two weeks, now, I'm still learning how things work and all, but generally, people just seem to be a little more willing to be friendly out here than ever on twitter or, now known as "it" in my circle. If you know braille you'll get the joke lol. People just seem cooller with each other, which is a far cry from all the twitter BS, keep up the good work around here
@luis@startrek2024 The Star Trek community here is fantastic. Mostly positive discussions about every episode, memes, #HangTrek, #AllStarTrek (everyone watches the same episode at the same time)
@judgedread , the GAYFAG HOMOQUEER
vs. @CSB , the ASSMAD TROON CANCERRAT
This is a FULL 48 HOUR MATCH lasting the entire weekend!
Introduction to Judge Dread:
"Is self explanatory. Boomer ex-cop, atheist, GOP armchair analyst, and his life revolves around consooming. He spends all day posting "woke Disney is so bad" type essays. Nigga. Who the fuck cares. He once spent 3 days filling the timeline with a series of essays on how he would "fix" the Disneyland Starwars Galaxy's Edge rides. And he thinks he's smart for doing this. Mega cringe!" - @lonestarr
This is the man who inspired the tournament! Yes, CMD looked at Judge Dread and said "I believe that a fair, open, and honest democratic system would call Judge Dread the biggest faggot on fedi," and that is why you are reading this today.
Judge Dread is basically the posterboy for "Gab refugee who cannot and will not assimilate to fedi culture properly." His utterly trash opinions range from "Gab is more important than church history," "I think 'Team A' and 'Team B' are excellent descriptive names for groups of people," and "here is an essay about Disney and why it matters." If you're here, you're probably blocked by him for disagreeing with at least one of these takes.
What has he done to push himself all the way into the final match of the faggot tourney? When he came over to fedi, he brought with him a group of the most obnoxious pieces of shit, started blocking everyone who mildly disagreed with him, and then used his followers to screech at everyone he has any mild disagreement with! Of course, on the anime-loving, Disney-hating, majority-Christian poast, that ended up being a lot of people!
If he'd just up and blocked everyone at once, then he'd be in his own echo chamber and things would be fine. However, that's not what he did: he makes a point of blocking someone new most days, then bragging about being a thin-skinned blockfag. We have the following hellthread most days:
Poastie A:"Why was I blocked by Judge Dread?"
Poastie B:"He's a thin-skinned faggot, you probably just disagreed with him about something."
Gablin A:"YOU are just SAD because you didn't follow the secret JUDGE DREAD RULES OF ENGAGEMENT and are now BLOCKED BY THE WONDERFUL JUDGE DREAD."
Poastie A: :aniwhat:
Gablin B: "LMAO look at this SAD guy COMPLAINING INTENSELY about being BLOCKED."
Gablin C: "HAHA HE ASKED WHY HE WAS BLOCKED. Obviously Dread is free to block whoever he wants and blocking everyone but mods is beyond criticism no matter what."
Other Fedi A: "Wow you dread fans are massive fags."
Other Fedi B: "Lmao what a bunch of thin-skinned losers."
Gablins: Quote Repost the thread 20 times
He's tried to distance himself from this tournament - a wise choice, but not one that's helped him out in the slightest! His opponents so far have been:
-The tournament organizer himself!
-PonyPanda, a man notorious for posting nigger dicks for several hours straight!
-Tomato, another notorious homosexual known for wanting to fuck trannies!
That's right, Judge Dread is gayer than nigger dicks, trannies, and...even OP! Dread's faggotry is so intense that it shatters iron-clad internet rules, what an incredible and unbearable faggot!
Introduction to CSB:
"The punching bag of NAS" - @dj
"he literally likes drawing crude gross man ass." - @leyonhjelm
"I will concede that he may just be bad at drawing" - @leyonhjelm after having been asked to prove the above.
"NAS rules state that it is MANDATORY that at every opportunity...remind CSB that he is a fucktard, faggot, cunt, jew (preferably dirty) or other slur..." - @fuknukl
CSB, what have you done? You were under the radar completely at the start of this tournament, and your repeated insistance to be removed from it and constant threats to block people who vote for you and intense lockfaggotry have propelled you to the finals!
You have managed to show yourself to be a bigger faggot than:
-Every third tranny on the internet
-A groomer tranny who shoves dead possums up their ass to masturbate and hangs out with pedophiles - one whose poor behavior has got them kicked off of 109 instances!
-A beloved rat who was genuinely trying to win as a joke
THAT is what you have been a greater faggot than, despite having every advantage possible to get yourself out of this tournament early! At every single junction, the tournament organizer wanted you to lose: your faggotry has forced his hand each and every time. You rallied up NAS hard enough that they put you past Paulo. You went into the thread and pissed off so many people that your actions caused you to beat Maija. You carried this momentum into the match with Ratposter, who was actively trying to win by posting the gayest things he could think of in the thread. That is right - you are gayer than what someone imagines to be the gayest thing they can post.
Well, this time you're up against the guy that the tournament organizer made the tournament to mock. CSB, winning this would be a major feat of faggotry - and you will have only yourself to blame. Can you please shut the actual fuck up for long enough that CMD can convince people to vote for Dread? Look, NAS is even pulling a punch here: I gave them a shot to write this chunk of this post, and they apparently decided that you're such a giant faggot that they can let someone sympathetic to you write it. Just go away from the internet for a weekend, please. dread_vs_csb.png dread_2.PNG dread_3.PNG dread_1.png dread_4.PNG csb_2.png csb_3.png csb_1.png
@elonjet
Another oligarch wannabe ok with burning the planet down with inefficient, gas guzzling transportation choices like personal jets. Commercial jets suck almost as bad. Yachts of oligarchs also apply.
@judgedread@CSB@lonestarr@dj@leyonhjelm@fuknukl Guys, it looks like the admin of NAS descended from his throne to rally support for calling his user, CSB, the biggest faggot on fedi - I don't have to finish tallying the votes to see that CSB currently has a strong, but not insurmountable lead - by about 10 votes.
I must again remind you of what's at stake here - we must rally behind Judge Dread for the Faggot Tourney! Is it possible for a single lockfaggot to be gayer than "thinking Gab matters more than church history"? Or is the guy who blocks fucking everyone as loudly as possible, who wears his paper-thin skin like a trophy, just a bigger faggot than some guy who draws slightly retarded comics?
