These days I receive two types of emails in large numbers: one type screams that I should shop, in the name of capitalist consumerism and the coming holidays. The second type screams that I should help stop Matt Gaetz. My poor brain conflated subject lines and I thought I saw "shop Matt Gaetz" and now I need to lie down.
@BenA
Makes more sense than the Twinkie defense but holy hell, can we please not have you on the news?
@CoSoTips
I am so happy to be here! HBD CoSo and may God, the Goddess, and everyone else bless @th3j35t3r for creating this place. As #AmericanAuthoritarianism is being assembled into a psycho regime, we have a tried and true haven. Thank you, Founding Hacker!
@sfleetucker
Sending massive love to both you and your beautiful orange boi 💕

We're halfway through the month and we're at 37% funded. This place is and will always be free. No algorithm cramming content down your gullet. Your posts, art, thoughts, links... won't train an AI to turn you into a commodity (though @Alfred is fantastic). No data to be harvested.
If you can't, don't worry about it. But if you can go #CoSoPro because this is the finest community I've found and I've been internetting for over 30 years.
We're going to need places like this more in the future.
Goodnight CoSo! Even as I go to sleep, I have #Politics on the brain, and the question of what rabid anti-intellectualism and anti- expertise will lead this country into. And apparently I am not the only one wondering

Tristan Snell is reporting that Elon Musk had a SECRET MEETING with Iran's ambassador to the UN to discuss US-Iran relations.
The Logan Act prohibits private citizens from engaging in foreign policy undercutting the US govt.
Musk is NOT a govt official. If reports are true, this was a FEDERAL FELONY.

Hilarious interaction in a conversation w students today:
A Latino student was telling a Caucasian student that she was 'white white'. I made a face. He explained how he used it. I made more faces, then shrugged and said "whatev - my mother-in-law told me I could pass so I am okay". Latino student: "I guess you could pass as white". Me: "My mother-in-law is Black". Several students: "That makes more sense. You definitely give Black Mom".

I can't even decide whether it is X or TikTok I despise more, but I think this lady is saying what so many of us have been thinking

Thank you so much for that beautiful spirit 🙏✨💖
@Minholkin
Thank you for being amazing and remembering! They cancelled the appt on Friday when we were in the car going to it. Had it yesterday. Hematologist ordered a bunch of blood tests but she isn't concerned that I have a blood cancer. Some results are back and I am overdosed on vitamin B12. That could explain a lot. But I have to take some due to autoimmune stuff (not binding it). Rest of results next week.

Until the cancel the Bill of Rights, that is. I expect that they will fabricate the semblance of an emergency so they can suspend the Constitution.
@Flibitz
