Another day of firefighting, tweaking, capacity upgrades and thinking outside the box in order to keep this place humming. There have been intermittent outages while I squeeze out every last KB of RAM and CPU cycles on COSOCore, and for that I apologize. But... we're getting stronger, more resilient and better able to handle the loads we're seeing every day.

We have NEVER once in 5 years closed registrations to new users, something I'm seeing a lot elsewhere.

My daughter and I finally watched “Pitch Perfect” and “Pitch Perfect 2” for the first time - LOVED THEM!!! How is “Pitch Perfect 3”???

everyone remember when they first joined twitter and instantaneously understood how everything worked and immediately had whatever number of followers made them feel whole?

me either

doing something new takes effort

the difference here is it's worth it (IMHO...was on twits 7 years and hated it...been here 5 years and love it...ymmv)

Just wanna say that my error prone ass is totally digging the delete and redraft feature here. It beats having to re-type or copy and paste every time I fail to notice an autoincorrect substitution or just forget a critical word entirely.

Kudos and many thanks to our wonderful host @th3j35t3r

If you would prefer to never hear about Donald Trump again, then we recommend hopping into your Preferences and adding FILTERS for the following incomplete list of case-sensitive terms:

Trump, trump, TRUMP, Donald, donald, DONALD, TFG, tfg, DFG, dfg, etc.

We are real people, and real people discuss current events. You can't change that, but you can control what you see with the tools provided. #CoSoTips

I decided to bundle up and join Tom for a photo op where eagles have been known to roost lately. These adults and juveniles were in that area and the most I’ve seen at one time together.

Desperation.

Flipping through mom's old cookbook last night, I found a love note to her from my dad tucked in the pages.

So I kinda hung out with both of their memories last night.

You never know when messages of love will surface and soothe.

So leave them out there, you know?

Good morning, CoSo!

And welcome back to a community you can always count on being there for you. Unlike some places, people are not asking whether CoSo will be there tomorrow or the next day: because people care for what's been built here.

#CoSoTips #LightTheme

For those who have been asking for a light theme, I've made a basic #Stylus theme:

🔸 Inverts default dark blue-gray to light beige
🔸 Widens columns
🔸 Enlarges fonts
🔸 Colorizes links (#, @, http*)

It is not perfect, so tell me if you have issues.

To use the theme, you'll need to have the Stylus extension installed (or another CSS editor).

🔌 Get Stylus:

Then go here to install the theme:
