Oh my gosh :poppy: it’s absolutely refreshing to be on the internet without the algorithms telling us what to do/say/see.

The man in Buffalo, armed with an AR15, who was subdued by a security guard inside a clinic, has now been charged with attempted murder and other charges. The man allegedly shot a woman prior to driving to the clinic, where he entered & quickly fired a shot into the wall. 2 more shots were fired in the scuffle between the gunman & the security guard as the guard slow-walked him back outside, pinning him to the ground with another. A bystander then disarmed him.

What an absolutely astonishing second half, Wales came out swinging and I quite honestly don't think that USMNT knows how to deal with these rowdy Celts.

100% 👇 just as any other branch of government. And there should be term-limits! These are justices not Ayatollahs.

Not for one minute has Garland avoided dirty hands or death threats. He has generated/protected the thousands of hours of investigation by appointing Jack Smith.

Legal analysts call it a brilliant move. History will extol the indictments that Smith will deliver in short order.

Trump is going to jail.

Checkmate.

Oh Yay! I've just spent half an hour grappling around under the coffee table for something I KNOW I bought and now need. After almost giving up, I decided one a final grapple.... and.... I found it!

@Florence It would be nice if there were a hashtag associated with it, like or something, where you could just mute that.

This isn't aimed at anyone unpleasantly, but when some people do these toots which have about 20 usernames in them, telling their followers to follow the folk mentioned, is there a way of filtering out these endless toots please? I know you can filter out icons, can you filter out @'s without filtering everyone out!

If that makes sense. I mean the toots from new people who wish to find their 'folk', and so toot with literally 20 names ,

Thanks.

Just a gentle guide to all my male friends.... if a woman starts an argument with "first of all"... RUN.

This means she has prepared research, data, chart & graphs that will destroy you.

You're welcome! 🤗

I'm currently considering pain control as an option. Does anyone here have any personal epxerience of this way of delivering analgesia please?

I use a syringe driver reasonably effectively but there are still some issues, so I'm thinking the options over.

Thank you.

I love the fact that the Community Firehose disincentives the "echo chamber" effect that plagues Twitter. One cannot watch the Firehouse without wanting to be part of a community. It promotes interaction, not promulgation and propagation. Well done, Cosonauts!

On CounterSocial, we are not big on drama.

See someone who is being disagreeable? Mute or block them immediately and move on. Life's too short to be sparring with random people online.

Amy Coney Barrett urged to step away from gay rights case because of faith affiliation

"Former members of Amy Coney Barrett’s secretive faith group, the People of Praise, are calling on the US supreme court justice to recuse herself from an upcoming case involving gay rights, saying Barrett’s continued affiliation with the Christian group means she has participated in discriminatory policies against LGBTQ+ people."
