If you're going to have an account on the platform but not socialize and just advertise your substack or your books or your multiple businesses on Linktree...
...at least help out here and subscribe to #CoSoPro. I say that because if you can't afford $4.99/month to advertise on a platform that says quite clearly it's a social website, not merely a sales platform, then you might should consider your business and business model.
: I wanted to do more than be Pro and got tired of doing the "one-time" additional contribution each month. So I did the other thing, went and got a Patreon membership. So now I'm what?
ProPat?
PatPro?
Pripyat?
CounterPat?
CoSoPatPro?
Cointelpro?
Protean?
Protreon?
Voltron?
Whatever. I did the other thing, and I did it because it's worth it at twice the price, IMO.
We have it really good here.
Don't believe us?
Spend some time on any other social media site and see how they make you feel.
What's the difference?
They exist to SELL you. We exist to SERVE you. #CoSoTips

@Jorro: They know. They're not the news. They're the propaganda arm of the GOP, alt-right, and the Soviets. At least that's the owners and it seems most of the on-air talent.
@Nimthiriel: ...Muslims who weren't from whatever geographic area the attackers and fellow travelers were. That doesn't seem to apply to Jews for them.
It's as lamentable as it is predictable.
@Nimthiriel: They usually don't. That's my experience over the years. Once that egg hatches, it's curtains for the acquaintanceship, even if they do "recover" (mellow out) after the zeitgeist has moved on from the events. Folks don't like being reminded, even if only by presence, that they went with the mob, ditched their alleged ideal and "deeply held convictions", and all.
He's one of the folks who, after 9/11 and other terror attacks in the West, implored people not to attack, slander,...
"The Vigil"
I watched this today. I saw the trailer and was intrigued, not in small part that it's only PG-13. Despite it's rating, it was more genuinely suspenseful, atmospheric, creepy, well-paced, and consistent than probably two-thirds of the movies I see.
It's horror but real horror, Algernon Blackwood and M.R. James type. It's ideal for all the #spookykids.
Also, it has a message, and it delivers it well. Impressive.
@Armchaircouch: IKR! It was awesome fun!
: I'd this evening to tell a tankie I know in the UK to pull the reins on his posting about how everyone but Socialists are fascists because they're all fascist-enablers if they're not already fascists. We've known one another for fifteen years, and he didn't used to be a tankie, but Brexit and, of all things, Oct. 7 turned him into one. And he's slowly been upping his "the Jews are the problem and always have been" rhetoric.
Haven't heard back and may never. It's happened before with folks.
@Armchaircouch: I vividly remember the "can haz cheeseburger" era. Heady days, those were.
