Reminder to folks like me coming over from the bird app: There are good reasons different platforms develop their own cultures. Our new friends have welcomed us. Let's get to know them and this place without immediately demanding it all be something different.
@DarksideStraxus Been there, done that...lol

This post (on the other site) by Alex Stamos is *the* ultimate commentary on why Musk's plans for Twitter are already doomed (Stamos was the fmr Chief Security Officer at Facebook, now head of 'Trustworthy Tech' at Stanford. He famously departed Facebook over the inertia surrounding the Russian misinformation campaign in the 2016 election). Here, he clearly lays out the insurmountable, and disturbing, conflicts of interest he just bought into.

@trairong I tried adding a pic of a depends stock image... but it was whisked away into the ether
#lazy #Sunday Laid in bed for a couple of hours waiting on my 5AM alarm. Went on Twitter for a bit, too toxic, registered on Tribel - too annoying, came to hangout on CoSoc...therapeutic. My plan for the day: Get up at some point, walk the dogs in the woods, take my motorcycle for a short ride to make sure it can pass annual inspection, and a little bbq in the evening...not very ambitious, but it's going to be an all-nighter when my customers on the othwr side of the world wakes up anyway...

It's funny, now that MSM don't have TFG to continue to promote hate and denigration and they realize the Americans are sick of him and the GOP they are switching over to another fear tactic - Inflation, high costs of stuff. When they know it not just what the feds are doing

@BenA wow. Sorry you had to see that. Keep the faith that MOST people are better than that, but since there's over 6 Billion people in the world, even a small percentage of sickos is a lot of sickos....

A few years ago, I visited an elderly x-coworker in a hospital in the mountains. She was about to die of an unknown disease, unknown to me at least, but she was alert and in good spirits. I rode my motorcycle up there.Before walking into the hospital, I paused and took a picture of Diamond Head. I. It looked like a volcano from that angle.

Moving on from Twitter.
@John_Scotus I don't have issues with commonsense positions... I do take issue with Party-line votes. If we can excise the partisanship monster out of public office and have them leave party affiliation at the door when they are serving in the public interests, it would solve a lot of problems.
