Welp, Elon McClownshow is over at Twitter impeding free speech in the name of [checks notes] free speech, telling everyone to vote Republican, and shared a meme of a literal WW2 Nazi, so I’m heading to Mastodon like a million users already have.

I’m on the bbq.snoot.com server (if you’re unfamiliar with Mastodon, servers are like neighborhoods, but they’re not walled so you can interact with anyone on any server).

You can find me by searching @davidvienna@bbq.snoot.com from any server. And here’s a direct link to my profile.

I just gotta know…8 and 13.

8. do you change into specific clothes for the house when you get home?

No, mainly because I rarely leave the house.

13. first thing you’re doing in the purge?

Break into a Wendy’s, steal all of the triple cheeseburgers, pour them all into an inflatable kiddie pool, and roll around in it.

20 and 27, please!

20. favorite disney princess movie?

Star Wars

27. what’s your favorite or go-to outfit?

It used to be board shorts and a T-shirt. But since the quarantine, exercise clothes.

Quentin Tarantino Says Marvel Directors Are ‘Hired Hands,’ So He Won’t Join the MCU: ‘I’m Not Looking for a Job’

Quentin Tarantino flirted for a period of time with directing a “Star Trek” movie, but that doesn’t mean he’d ever take the leap into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

This is exactly like how I would turn down any offer from NASA to be an astronaut.
