Republicans we’re expecting their red wave last night, but all they got was a little spotting.

Dear Jewish community. Please stop asking "How do I get more Jews of Color to come to X?" That is the wrong question. Seriously, look inward, ask yourself if JOC's would want to come, would they feel included? Also, be honest about your own personal networks. And create a community that is welcoming and inclusive for all

To those deactivating your bird accounts, here are two posts detailing how to do that so as to protect your data and privacy:

In case you've been living under a rock with bad WiFi, our sudden rise in popularity is a megalomaniac billionaire's fault.

We are still working to expand capacity and ensure everything runs smoothly. Please be patient. This community is well worth the wait. #CoSoTips

PSA - I'm about to throw a stack of more dollars at COSOCore, already did the same earlier with COSOPGR - expect a very brief outage within the next hour >>>

Note: CounterSocial is community powered. For everyone's awareness, the % funded bar is still set to operational costs as they were before the hubris of a malevolent billionaire tried to drown us.

It's on the list of things to fix, but it's quite a bit deeper now that we have expanded capacity several times over to accommodate our awesome new friends. #CoSoTips

^^ Check this out.

This is probably a more realistic map of what we could accomplish by 2050. It would still be amazing. We are decades behind where we should have been with rail because of the oil lobby. Take a look at any map of Europe or Asia, and it is shocking how far behind we are. #hsr #Amtrak

Additionally, on CounterSocial, we do not care about follower counts. The quality of your presence here is 100% about the quality of your posts. #CoSoTips

CoSo is J's creation, fully.

He SHARES it with us, and it is our responsibility to enjoy it wisely and to share it forward.

All the best things in life are shared. So make this place yours, and curate it carefully, knowing that all of us together make it OURS.

We are cultivating community, each contributing something different, collectively making something beautiful.

Connection with and care for others is how we survive, everywhere.

An old concept, made new again.

#CoSoRocks #CoSoLove

CounterSocial is not automatic. There is no algorithm showing you what you like and hiding what you don't.

To curate your experience here, you're expected to mute and block disagreeable people without hesitation. Set up columns to follow topics you enjoy, and set up filters to avoid topics you hate.

It requires effort on your part, but it's well worth it. #CoSoTips

If a poll worker says your name is not on the list of registered voters, you are entitled to a provisional ballot. If you are turned away or denied a provisional ballot, call the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

( I am a big fan of neutrinos, buy the time you have read this sentence. 10¹² have passed through your hand.)

When black holes collide they also produce neutrinos.

While IceCube has seen countless events over the years, a few stand out. Some neutrinos are exceedingly energetic—so energetic that it's difficult to come up with plausible scenarios that could generate them.

Experiencing glitches? That's to be expected. We're experiencing a huge surge in popularity. If you're having issues, just try again later. #CoSoTips

If you or any of your friends, family, neighbors, or colleagues still need some motivation to #vote, please consider doing so in solidarity with the people of #Ukraine. They’re risking absolutely everything to defend their #democracy. The least that we can do - the very least - is to vote and defend ours. #DemocracyUseItOrLoseIt
