@Jason_Bergeron Everyone here is helpful and nice. I like it here much bettter.
I gotta say, I couldn't be more impressed with how this place is run. I just watched in real time someone inquire about an issue, and it was resolved immediately. 10 minutes from request to resolve.

Kidding. Mostly.
There is no social media that some people won’t block at least some people. And personalities will clash, here as elsewhere.
We still think it’s pretty awesome here, but it’s a large grouping of people.
Peopling happens.
@AuntCrabby Glad to see you here. I'm finding my peeps from the old place.
@DavidSalo Or, you could move to Mexico. It is so peaceful here. I've only been here 10 months. Wish I had come sooner.
Let's imagine for a moment that Trump isn't GOP's nominee. Do you honestly think he just takes his ball and goes home? #politics
@kel No. We are going to hear about him or from him until he dies or we do. He will never shut up.
@sazemisery I totally agree.
When it comes to disagreeable content, you have three choices:
1. Set up filters so you never see it.
2. Mute/Block the offender.
3. Simply let it scroll on by.
I'm fast becoming a huge fan of that last option. There is no reason in the world why someone else's content on the internet should affect us.
Not among those options? Lambasting people for not using hashtags. You have no say in how anyone posts. It's much easier to just let it scroll on by. #RandomThoughts
What kind of "democracy" breezily allows a man, known to be hiding (sharing?) thousands of stolen documents, to run for president?
Why does his 'right' to run overwhelm the right of democracy to be protected from publicly-declared enemies?

[DFG] Announces 2024 Run, Repeating Lies and Exaggerating Record
[DFG] gave a rambling speech, repeating false claims and wildly exaggerating his achievements after saying he will seek another term. He ignored Republicans’ concerns that he was to blame for the party’s weak midterm showing.

[contd]
"NEW: Facebook sent a memo to its fact-checkers this afternoon telling them if Trump announces he's running for president tonight they can no longer fact-check anything he says."
Why the hell not?

@Nick_Searles I can't imagine how much worse things would be rn if not for The Lincoln Project, Meidas touch, Eleven Films and all the Never Trumpers. We need to learn to fight.
@Nick_Searles 4 or 5 times I think.
@WILDKATZ Cool, then you know Roscoe too then. I first met him back in the 70's. He played with LC some. Had his own jazz band called Passenger.
@WILDKATZ That's my friend Roscoe Beck on bass.
Adam needs more staff to cure outstanding ballots. Please contribute whatever you can to help.
@racouncil These companies with the exception of the bird app are making record profits. Why all the layoffs?
