Think of this as an experiment in human decency. Either Alex becomes civil or he goes SPLAT

I'm feeling quite sanguine about the Russian culture at the moment. I'm going to a dark place and need to see the path back to the brighter place.

We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
But what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
Today's earworm: "Russians: (If the Russians Love their Children Too) by Sting.
SCOOP: Vice President Harris tested positive for Covid-19, per White House official. Statement to come soon
I believe:
- That every person is a person. Period.
- People are impacted by their genetics, upbringing and culture and can do little to change the past
- People are refined or damaged by their education based on the truthfulness of the content
- Everyone can improve. Some can do so better than others
- Improvement takes courage. Some have more than others. Everyone has that choice. Your amount of courage is not static
- Nothing in the world can impact an adult unless they let it inside

For those wondering why photos taken from a phone might be rotated incorrectly when posting:
CoSo strips all EXIF data while uploading (for your safety and privacy). Among other things, that data may include rotation info, and wiping that out may cause your photos to un-rotate. This is a known bug, on the list to be addressed down the line.
To correct in the short term, make a small edit to your photo of any type, save that copy, and upload again.

OK, so how about a round of applause for @th3j35t3r and all of the tireless folks on the backend providing us with this platform. It matters to thank people. Do I say "Please retweet" or "Please reTOOT..." No clue rn lol #CoSoNaut #CoSoRocks
Signing off, folks. I've been sooooo distracted by today's events and I really have got to get some work done. Gonna be a long night.
Stay civil!
"Trump says he won’t rejoin Twitter. Some advisers don’t believe him."
"Jason Miller, a former top Trump adviser who runs his own conservative-friendly social network Gettr, said he believes Trump has no interest in returning to a platform he argues suffers from “a cultural problem … of political discrimination.”"

There are lots of new people so I’ll post an article on #Netiquette as a friendly reminder.
Welcome 🙏 CoSo is a great community and one of the best things about being here is that we try to be decent and respectful people.
These are some good guidelines, in general.

Things to remember:
1) This is NOT Tw*tter
2) @th3j35t3r is but one being, and is the front-end, back-end, UX, UI, and sole-facilitator of this amazing place. Have patience.
Kisses.

If you were wondering if Musk is going to do the right thing.....
"The two sides were focused on determining whether Musk had the financing to complete the acquisition, and did not spend much time discussing Musks’s strategy for the future of the social network, the person said."
It's official: Elon Musk acquires Twitter for roughly $44 billion
