Mr. Dante
I know just enough to be annoying to those who actually know what they're doing. All my creative stuff is at patreon.com/d4nt3 . You can also find me on mastodon.social as @MrDante as well for that decentralized flavor.
- Thought I should post this since everybody's been not asking: I'm still OK with late 90s #Alanis #Morissette being #god. #snootchiebootchies
- Reposted by Mr. DanteLot of attention and new followers today, and want to keep the kind vibes going and pay it forward. Will donate ALL proceeds from Cameos until 2/13 to Lancaster Neighbor Fund, who supports immigrants right in my city of welcome. Kindness onward. cameo.com/bryceremsburg
- Reposted by Mr. DanteIf AJ Styles really is retired just have Action Andretti cosplay as him, steal his moveset and call him A.I. Styles
- #sword #martialarts #katana Sometimes, after watching #Samurai $films, I think to myself, "Man, I'd love to have my very own Tozando katana", but that'd be like putting a genuine Stradivarius violin in the hands of a 5 y.o. beginner.
- #prowrestling #aew Is this the first time that someone has been hired and then immediately won gold in this promotion? Or did Okada do the same? It just seems weird to me that they hired Ciampa and immediately strapped him. I wonder what the story angle is going to be...
- What part of last night's Collision still has you buzzing? Watch the #AEWCollision replay RIGHT NOW on HBO Max!
- Greenlanders pretending to be fentanyl addicts to mock MAGA's USA still cracks me up.
- Reposted by Mr. DantePatriots don’t protect pedos. Spread the word.
- Reposted by Mr. DanteI'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
- To me, nothing says bonkers, and happy to be, more than paying to deliberately jump out of a perfectly working airplane with nothing to save you from going splat but a parachute. Bonus was I got to jump and see a true bird's eye view of #Colorado mountain ranges from 18k feet up. 😍
- I've been watching youtube videos of #thrillseeker tourist destinations where they go bungee jumping and zipline riding and all that. As someone who has gone #skydiving, I cannot recommend it enough as the ultimate risky thrill. It was just a 15 second tandem free-fall but damn was it exhilarating!
- If I get to choose how I go, I've decided that I want it to be on one of those death #rollercoasters because I think rollercoasters are fun and I'd be happy to die having one last bit of fun.
- #prowrestling #aew #roh #mpx We've seen largish promos try a womens event before, but IIRC they haven't been able to, I guess financially, justify keeping the events going. The Nazi Entertainment Promo will be ignored for this speculation. It'd be nice if EVE could gain some ground.
- #prowrestling #aew #roh #mpx I don't know what's going on down the line, but I think the ROH/MPX crossover has huge upside potential for women's wrestling to get more air time in the future, if things go well at this next ROH Event. Maybe TK found a way for ROH to make some bank on this, too.

- #marinebiology #icthyology #selachology #sharknerds #Carcharodoncarcharias Hello Shark Nerds. Has anyone heard from Deep Blue lately? I've been wondering how Big Mama is doing.
- #minneapolis #protest Though I sincerely doubt the efficacy, I understand why you all are still trying to do this peacefully. A lot of folks, not the government but a lot of good folks, are really trying to avoid bloodshed. That's commendable.
- #prowrestling #aew See, Ciampa gets it. Well spoken, Sir Murderous Psycho.
- #voynich #manuscript Just learned about this book today. My first thought was: It would be hilarious if this mysterious book was the product of some drunk asshole from the 1400s who created the manuscript just to troll future scholars. I mean, trolling & humanity have a long history together.
- Reposted by Mr. DanteIf Americans were really serious about fighting back against corporate America, they would boycott the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, a good number of people in this country aren’t willing to make that small sacrifice and it’s sad and infuriating.

- #coding #programming #ai #jobs *laughs and laughs* Oh I hope the C-level morons who greenlit layoffs and implementation of AI to replace their human staff are so done and gone & shareholders are losing big money for letting it happen. youtu.be/ts0nH_pSAdM
- Reposted by Mr. DanteIf you’re coming from overseas to watch the World Cup in USA please consider boycotting. It’s a country being led by a madman and full of ICE goons. Also, you will be overcharged for really shitty food in the stadiums.
- Reposted by Mr. Dante📒 NEW STUDY “supports abolition of Daylight Saving Time and adoption of permanent Standard Time to minimize negative consequences including migraines.”
- I wonder if anyone else finds, essentially impotent, protesting by well-meaning people as exhausting as I do. Gutless criminals like members of the right/far-right movements don't care about how you feel about what they are doing. They only respond to two things directed at them, fear and death.
- Reposted by Mr. DanteI’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

- Reposted by Mr. DanteI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
- Reposted by Mr. DanteVoting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
- Reposted by Mr. DanteMan who works in sewer wonders why there's all this shit down here.
- Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social
- #prowrestling In other news, WTF is Kilynn King? She was one of my favorite AEW covid era talents. Also, that maniac Shawna Reed needs some time on TV. Bozilla needs more American TV time and a hoss feud with ANY hoss in AEW. I'm looking forward to seeing some Persephone as well.
- #videogames #gaming #lifeisstrange If the online screamsheets are to be believed, #Amazon has greenlit a LIS TV series. I'm casually intrigued because the game is such an incredible piece of storytelling. They've ruined blue butterflies for me for life.
- #ai #moltbot #clawdbot Bunch of, I have to imagine, at least nazi-adjacent, tech bros on youtube talking about how clawd/moltbot is all over their loser fuhrer's social media platform & I'm sitting here waiting to laugh & laugh when all the prompt injection attacks wrecks their systems/accounts.
- #ai #docker #n8n #code Today, with #perplexity, I'm basically playing the role of a boomer who has never used a computer/smartphone before. Let's see if an LLM can be driven crazy. 😆
- #prowrestling Becky Lynch over there talking about wanting a piece of Toni Storm, and people are lamenting the fact that the Trump-Flunkies WWE won't let that happen. You're telling me that there's not one Fed approved indie promotion that Lynch could work where Toni just happens to show up at?
- I saw this picture and the first thing that popped into my head was, "The name's Plissken"
- Yeah yeah the big #ai grift is that these POS corporations were just looking for an excuse to outsource U.S. labor to other countries (again) for pennies on the dollar. Either they're so stupid that they didn't learn the lesson from last time or this is part of some toxic cyclical financial process.
- #tiktok I should have deleted my accounts, that I barely used anyway, a long time ago but they're gone now, and after 30 days (apparently), gone for good, and good riddance.
- #beauty #standards #tiktok #instagram #snapchat Ran across a #video about beauty #filters being banned from #socialmedia apps in China, and . Maybe real beauty being on the inside is something more than just what ugly people say. youtu.be/rK1ElfZ-z8U
- #podcast #essay #audio #film #war Here's an audio essay on the film Johnny Got His Gun(1971). I'll never forgive #metallica for turning me onto this movie. www.patreon.com/posts/after-...
- #film #commentary Maxxxine isn't so much traditionally horrifying as it is sleazy, and that's a great way to end the Mia Goth trilogy, with Bonus Bacon. youtube.com/shorts/qpJHf...
- #film #commentary Coming in hot for the 2nd of the Mia Goth trilogy is "X". Fun and dirty film. youtube.com/shorts/_2kpp...
- #film #commentary #review Got a #youtube edit up of the 1971 film, "Johnny Got His Gun" (the film whose clips you see in Metallica's 'One' video), and my commentary, at my #patreon site (patreon.com/d4nt3 #jghg). Unusual film, but worth a watch. www.patreon.com/posts/johnny...
- #mentalhealth Still laughing at the idea that there is a down side to #derealization. I had a brief episode of it at the grocery store earlier, and it was the most wonderfully peaceful experience; to feel disconnected from everything around me.
- #music #linkinpark Now playing: Old school Linkin Park's greatest hits playlist. Don't know why, but I need to hear Chester and crew today.
- #film #war #commentary #metallica Phrase of the day is "Bizarrely Brutal", and that encapsulates this film perfectly. BYOC, members only. www.patreon.com/posts/first-...

- Reposted by Mr. DanteA Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
- If all blue states would just grow a pair and commit together to stop sending federal tax money in, and actually stop sending the money in, you’d see this hateful MAGAt shit stop really fast, even despite any lawsuits that would be incoming. Two can play the political retribution game.
- To the point of my prior posts, here's an example of a good, fully analog moment(an affirming face-to-face conversation). A good example of one-person fully analog moments would be something like, cooking/drawing/writing/etc something, giving your pet a scritch, & similar moments. Fully. Analog.
- #technology #dumbdevices #analoglife Being #unavailable gives your mind time to "breathe", go at its own pace, uninterrupted, and to chew on your ideas and whatever kind of creativity inspires you. (more in post comments)
- #technology #dumbdevices #analoglife Dear #genz #genalpha: (2/2) They called my gen "feral" kids, but we were actually "free". That whole thing about out of the house in the morning, & not getting back until the street lights came on? TRUTH. #imagination was our tech. Find your version of that. gl
- #technology #dumbdevices #analoglife Dear #genz #genalpha: (1/2) Here's some information from an old. Part of going analog is learning & happily acclimating to an "unavailable" lifestyle. Make sure your devices are dumb enough & your mind is made up enough to be more generally unavailable.
