Let me put my cards out clearly.

All cable news sucks. Even the ones which occasionally get it right.

Humans were not meant to be inundated with news 24/7. It's unnatural, and actively harmful.

It's why I haven't watched any of it, save for Jan 6, since 2009, when the knives immediately came out for Pres. Obama.

One's mental health would be greatly enhanced by excising that habit in toto.

You know, I've never given myself a proper introduction on here. So.

The key to CoSo? Post the stuff you love. People will find you, and you'll find your people. It really is that simple.

I'm going to toot this several times a week.

We are powered by, well, us. This is the PBS of social media. If you value this troll-free, ad-free, algorithm-free space, please consider going Pro, or donating other ways.

#CosoTips

Well, howdy new users! Welcome aboard!

Just to let you know that #COSO is a different place. It's not Twitter. It's not a "Twitter lite". This is a different kind of space. Get to know it. Leave the way you were on the bird site behind. You'll have a much better experience if you do.

Just posted this on my blog.

The media in the US got what it wanted, the return of Chaos Orange.

Meanwhile, the media in Germany also got what it wanted, the implosion of the coalition.

Maybe the media is the problem.

Fuck Bernie Sanders. Fuck him with a red-hot iron poker. I'm sure Trump will welcome you as his token leftist. Fuck him off into the sun. Die already.

I see CT making its rounds here. Stop. The explanation is simple: A majority of American voters are imbeciles who will vote for $2 gas as if it's their birthright. It's that simple.

Congratulations.

Hey, there's always a bright side.

And so it begins. A MAGAt is sitting at one of my computers, with that fucking cheap Chinese hat.

Trump is in for a surprise. Useless idiot.

Well. I hope the Gaza protestors are happy in their purity. Because now Netanyahu will level Gaza.

And no, I don't want to hear that he's "the moderate".

I'm not going to be on much, if at all. Be well.

OK, I'm going on radio silence for a bit. See y'all when I see y'all.

So, Stewie and Kiki LaRue are barking at my aunt and uncle's empty house. Guys, they're gone, Thor your frenemy is gone, chill.

Bibi needs to resign and elections need to be called.

LOL. Chicken for Colonel Sanders. Trump will just let Bibi depopulate Gaza and build Trump Tower Khan Younis on the land.

These are not people expecting to win.

But, do go on about how Trump is likely to win.

There are so many people on social media—and, I'm sorry, but they're mostly white—who have never faced adversity, so when things get hard they just assume everything will go to shit and stifle any hint of hope, even if all signs point to a good outcome. It's not sad, it's infuriating.

Well. I just saw a toot on here saying that "Trump is likely to win, and us Canadians will help people escape."

Fuck. You. Maybe worry about your own elections and make sure your mini-Trump doesn't become PM next year.

Instablock. Jaysus.

Oh, Jay Vee.

TWO MILLION PEOPLE DOWNTOWN WATCHING THE PARADE!!

Oh Holy Mother of God. I've been toiling away all morning, and I figured it was time for a cafecito cubano break. I used Illy coffee, and Jaysus, it's good.

I am methodically proceeding with the cleaning of the house. Ply me with booze, please. And pizza.
