@GrazingintheGrass @JulesofJoy @th3j35t3r Really?

I wouldn't know but there sure seemed to be a lot of famous people fleeing over about a year. Many went to Mastodon that I followed.

Tons bailed once Threads was rolled out.

I lurked for several months but locked my account. Then I deleted when Elon made MFA a paid feature.

@LnzyHou @walterbays @lisaannlm The funniest bit I have seen since Walz was named was on The Daily Show by Josh Johnson (about 6:20 in) but the whole video is funny.

@WeThePeople @rpardee That sounds like something Mick Jagger would say.

@JulesofJoy @th3j35t3r
<whispering> Replicating "Twitter" was never the objective. (Maybe Blue Sky had that objective?)

This place was specifically created to be NOT Twitter with all the problems making that a tool to be weaponized by foreign adversaries.

Now Twitter is at best Truth Social Lite. Elon turbocharged the weaponization. They no longer need to even be stealthy when the CEO is the worst offender.

@Bix Oy vey!

I guess I will take it, but damn, isn't that a red flag for you that you would see a need to keep it secret?

@JPSCHWEIZER63 Wife is pushing she doesn't want to watch her slowly starve herself. And we have tried broth and different foods he vet suggested to get interest without success.

She still reacts to hearing the rattle of treats, but struggles to eat anything

@jdtasker I have no doubt he will lose with a fair counting of votes. But Paxton shenanigans backed by Abbott make the outcome questionable.

@evistre Nauseously optimistic to quote Robert Reich

14 (or 15) but she has had liver cancer for about a year. She still goes on squirrel patrol but is hardly eating.

@MLClark I would be a cat, somehow reincarnated for thousands of lives and owners and always as a house cat. But my resentment and contempt of humans kept growing with each life, always aware.
My superpower would be realized as a shape-shifter, finally able to escape subservience to the accursed humans by joining their ranks. Finally able to execute my plans developed over all those lives.

@LnzyHou @walterbays @lisaannlm For President though, I vote first for character and leadership and secondly on policy. I want my captain to be prepared and trusted to face the problems we don't know about right now. Because things will come up.

Look to Congress for policy changes on the problems we already know.

@LnzyHou @walterbays @lisaannlm He is the most level-headed, informed, and quick on his feet of any potential candidates, including Harris.
My problem with him as it was with Harris is I think they showed true colors in the 2020 primary race. He was REALLY conservative in comparison to most (maybe less than Biden, certainly Bloomberg, and Tulsi was just a Russian plant.)
Maybe all moved left? With more data over time I know I did.

Mayo Sapien Mao is a new one to me.

This is colorful and true. "A very loud minority."

@CanisVeritum But you KNOW a landslide would generate even more outrage it must be wrong.

You see the interviews at Trump rallies; they are disconnected from how generally unpopular they all have become. They think most people are like them.

@CanisVeritum I am hoping Alfred beats Cruz but Ted's universal lack of appeal makes that more than a pipe dream.

If Harris carried TX I might explode with joy and disbelief.

@Bix Where is W though?

Dick freaking Cheney is even on board. Why hold out?

@Bix Took me a minute to piece that together.

I am so preprogrammed to paranoia that I began to worry the flood of steady new support reveals from entertainment would have a backlash effect.

Then I thought better that these may be carefully planned, to keep new reveals coming, from various walks of life.
