@1_Mind_Traveler I always tell people, if you are not paying for the product (contractual arrangement) you are the product.

@redenigma Good human.

@gemswinc I am not.

@gemswinc I went looking for you when you disappeared from the shitshow. I think that also depressed him. Sigh!

@gemswinc I'll ask him to check in here. I think he is profoundly depressed. He usually is pretty lighthearted, but not now.

@gemswinc Stanley and I have been DM'ing. He is very upset right now for obvious reasons. I'm trying to get him to go to BlueSky. I see him on FB fairly frequently.

@gemswinc I have accounts here, Spoutibe (which isn't bad but I don't really use), Mastodon (a pain in the a$$), a tiny read only remnant account on X so I can follow a few ppl before they leave (I blew up my main account from 2009). Yesterday I created a BlueSky account which is exactly like early T. Many of the ppl you know are probably already there.

@gemswinc Cindy, you should consider starting an account on BlueSky in addition to CS. It is like the old T. with a ton of writers and journalists, law scholars and very decent ppl.

@gemswinc I didn't say it would be better. It will be worse. Oligarchs are now fully running the government. 1930s Germany all over again.

@th3j35t3r He is worried that the FBI is coming for him.

@gemswinc The Nazi white boys, otherwise known as incels are lining up behind master "sh*ts his pants" for a cookie. Tech bros will disappear the orange stain soon.

@gemswinc Every butt licker in the U.S. is lining up to kiss the ring.

@Pippy I've lived in this state for 45 years + and it is getting bluer and bluer due to the influx from California. Fox News should worry, the Texans aren't red.

Anyone taking bets as to whether we will be allowed to vote again in 2026?

@Pippy Not working. Colorado is getting bluer. Dark blue.

All dogs with Republican owners. Especially in South Dakota. #noem
