Where there are (group) norms, individuals don't have to work so hard to police their own social boundaries. I thought about this a lot and then wrote an essay. I would be interested in your feedback. /nosanitize

Minneapolis police identified a suspect who they believe helped initiate the riots and destruction in the city following the killing of George Floyd.
He is associated with the “Aryan Cowboys,” a White supremacist prison and street gang. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/28/us/umbrella-man-associated-white-supremacist-group-george-floyd
Uh . . . I must have missed something. The New York Young Republicans at their "annual gala" were in a tizzy because they are "at war" with "the left." I assume that includes most teachers, scientists, artists, musicians, Democrats, etc. I hadn't noticed. Was there some "battle in the street" that I missed? Please advise.
Also, great Fever Dream podcast on this topic, if you're as baffled as I am: https://shows.acast.com/fever-dreams/episodes/91

The exodus of politically focussed users from Birdsite is well under way.
Toxicity always infects discussions about politics and religion first. Niches like arts and crafts are less vulnerable, but eventually even those subject areas become infested by assholes.
Once the overall feed starts to look like the Comments section of the local newspaper or TV station, you know that it is time to move on.

It seems that Twitter's San Francisco HQ is having a liquidation sale and is auctioning everything. According to a posting on the Heritage Global Partners website
there's been a lot of fat shaming of santa in the feed tonight.
listen up, peeps. santa is chubby & jolly. & we like him just fine that way.
think about it. an anemic santa. a stick santa. a svelte santa would just not fill out the suit like we expect. there would be no softness to lean into when we're giving him hugs & asking for gifts.
nopity nope nope.
he's fat by design. he's fat b/c we like him that way.
stop w/ the fat shaming already. he's lovable just as he is, thank you very much.
Have some Tom Waits.
