San Diego had an oopsie in 2012. Seven thousand fireworks went off all at once.

#HowTo Post a Thread on CounterSocial: A (Brief) Thread
Posts on CoSo are limited to 500 characters, but sometimes you might need to share something that's a bit longer. No worries! That's what threads are for.
Be sure to include relevant hashtags in the *first* post to help people find it. Only the first post will show up in the Community Firehose feed, so this is your chance to tell us what the rest of the thread will be about.
This thread is about threads.

To All The New Folks.
Wellcome Home !
Lurking here on CoSo is a wonderful thing. If you are one who seldom posts, but enjoys reading, you are wanted and welcome. Posting in not required. You don't need to explain, nor in anyway feel less than, for lurking. In fact let's get rid of that word, and just say you are a reader.
All writers need readers. Reading is semi-miraculous act. And respect is due.
🙏

Welcome new/returning people!
Add #introductions to your first post so people can find you.
Make a tiny edit to any photos you take on your phone so they don't rotate.
Add the words

on posts with links to sites with long urls so the urls aren't truncated.
On the plus side, I can finally log into my original Twitter account without giving my cell phone number. Maybe they can't message phones anymore, either?

Right wing restaurants will refuse to serve POC, LGBTQ, non-Christians.
Left wing restaurants will serve everyone. Some people meals may have a little extra seasoning added, though ...
Instead of expanding SCOTUS, they should pass an amendment limiting gifts from those with a financial or political interest in a ruling, and requiring them to recuse themselves for five years after receiving anything of value or socializing personally prior to coming under that restriction (e.g. Alito and Thomas, plus anyone who will have been wined and dined prior to nomination).
All the white Christian parents who think their kids have a better chance at getting into Harvard and Stanford now that SCOTUS has struck down affirmative action are in for a rude surprise. The percentages reserved for Black and Latino applicants almost certainly came from the percentages allowed to Asian and Jewish applicants. And alternative criteria like "first college bound student in family" aren't going to favor the kids of mid-rank-Catholic-college grad parents, either.
