Truly, not a day goes by where I don't feel #gratitude for the security of this platform.
I am a nobody.
But still, my privacy matters to me.
@WeThePeople I've been following this on Reddit for a while, and every day seems to bring out something even more astonishing! It's an indictment of the justice system in that county
Well, for once, watching the night-time news in California was pure fun!

#FUNFACT - Facebook didn't turn a profit for the first 7 yrs of life. https://counter.social is almost 4 yrs old & has met its running costs (broken even) one month out of 48.
Facebook stayed alive because of venture capitalists, advertisers and later shareholders.
https://counter.social has no VC's, shareholders or advertisers, and it doesn't want any either.
It's funded by it's awesome users, that's YOU guys & myself.
Please consider going PRO and lets keep the lights on around here.
Recently got back from traveling a couple of different times this summer to see family for the first time since COVID. I figured I would do it while all of our vaccine immunity levels were still fairly high. It amazed me to see on the plane flights how many families were traveling with very young (too young to vaccinate) children though. Maybe some were necessary travel, but I have a hard time believing it all was

The Milwaukee Bucks won their first NBA championship in 50 years, downing the Phoenix Suns 105-98 in Tuesday's Game 6 of the NBA Finals in Milwaukee https://cnn.it/3zl4Exw
Looking forward to the NBA finals tonight - my team isn't there, but it's fun to have some teams that haven't been there in a while
Not dark enough yet for the firework shows here, but I'm hearing people setting off their own already - Happy Fourth, everyone!

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Treasonous Colonials. Be safe out there! Enjoy the day if you can.
If you're not from the States? Enjoy the day! Be safe. We're all on this planet together.

** HIGH SPEED PURSUIT **
CALIFORNIA | SAN FRANCISCO
Police are in pursuit of a white Audi SUV w/ at least 2 suspects. Vehicle moving at high rates of speed. Reckless driving. Donuts in intersections and running people off the road.
Pd is in tracking mode but the vehicle is still a danger.

I was walking through a shopping neighborhood in Berkeley earlier today, and a woman was driving asking with her window rolled down yelling at passersby that COVID is fake and the vaccines give you radiation poisoning. She looked well-off economically, so it wasn't a case of Berkeley's (admittedly significant) mentally ill homeless population

Periodic PSA: If you live in a place that restricts access to abortion, you have options.
@Museek I had been following J already on Twitter, and when I saw his announcement about CoSo, I felt it was exactly what was needed to provide an alternative to sites that sell our information and try to manipulate us.
