@LnzyHou @corlin If my first exposure to another CoSonaut is an excited announcement of their newly-published tome with instructions for buying it, the blockhammer swings!
If, on the other hand, I meet someone and we converse, then after 2 months I discover they do exquisite beadwork (guesswho??? LOL), that becomes one more facet of the jewel that is our friendship.
Thanks, Jester, for the tools.

I watch that carefully. Get too earnest with your marketing & you are blocked. This is not TW, FB or BlueSky.

We actually care about each other more than 💰.

Hey new folks

I know everyone has to eat, and earn a living. Promoting your work whatever it is, is ok with me. But here is a hint: this place is about community, we talk, laugh, cry, and generally hang out. If you want engagement, best bet is to give engagement. Talk to us. Let us know a bit about you. Give us a reason to be interested in your work. Banner ads, or just saying "buy this" probably ain't gonna be successful.

We don't have ads here for a reason.
We do support each other's work.

How much you want to bet in cabinet meetings, Trump calls out his picks by nicknames like Brainworm, Quagmire, Wrestling Lady and Putin Girl? They won't really mind.

Your morning chuckle-
I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lime and a shot of tequila.😀

On hiatus from social media (Coso the exception cause it’s a safe space) & entertainment news. Listening to the audiobook Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story by Bono. Being blown away by it. Walking the dog laughing and crying. Revisiting U2 albums all day. It’s a wonderful vacation to a sane reality.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/middleeast/international-criminal-court-issues-arrest-warrant-for-israeli-prime-minister/index.html

Joe Biden, as president, has presidential immunity, so "Biden should declassify everything the DOJ has on Trump and all his cronies, public airing of dirty laundry."

What Happened on November 21st

November 21, 1969
First ARPANET Link Put Into Service

ARPANET was an early computer network developed by J.C.R. Licklider, Robert Taylor, and other researchers for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). It connected a computer at UCLA with a computer at the Stanford Research Institute, Menlo Park, CA.

Here is your chance to escape Trump World. A dying Italian village is offering you a dilapidated hovel for a mere dollar. If you don't mind living in a town with about a thousand people and probably no stores for many miles, this is your ticket. Don't expect Uber or Door Dash here. You would think they would at least throw in a goat to sweeten the deal. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/travel/italian-village-ollolai-wants-americans-election-one-dollar-homes/index.html

Random thought : Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to round up Trump and his cabinet and deport them instead of the insane idea he has?
