#Rant on Colleges
For anyone planning to go to college ( or planning for kiddo to go to college ) whether full time traditional or part time or any kind of time, please check out the accreditation. Many for profit colleges have weak or no accredited body (think #45 U) or unheard of accreditation. Some tie to religion to get its students and provide little real learning that leads to a degree that an employer will consider. Search LinkedIn for where those college grads land. It's only money.

This is what social media is supposed to be.
You aren't being abused.
You aren't being sold.
You aren't being manipulated.
You're just being.

Every day I am grateful to have a cozy berth here on CoSo—in Js capable hands we weather rough seas in comfort and safety.
It’s hard to watch the sabotage and sinking of Twitter, the escalation of chaos and violence there, the disruption for regular folks who just wanted to enjoy soc med, somehow.
We have it so good here—I feel sorry for the good peeps who haven’t figured out that the excellent craft of CoSo is the safest place to be.
💙

I'm sorry, J, that this is happening again.
You've accomplished so much for the greater good. I'm sorry that some folks are unwilling or unable to consider that you have changed over time and perpetuate this.

Watched a few episodes of Agent Night on Netflix. Decent spy genre, close to the Jack Ryan theme. Less violence. Might catch this during the week.

Shall we go through those point by point?
