@Render @corlin @peeppeepcircus And elections aren't only about politics. You have to report on the governing that has been done and the governing that needs to be done or you haven't done the job. You can't report on political POVs and omit reporting on the candidates' ability to govern or you're servicing politics and ignoring government. The whole point of the press clause of the 1st amendment is to provide for reporting to the people about the government, pointless if they refuse to do so
@Render @corlin @peeppeepcircus Yes! This! Somewhere along the way the press and much of the people bought into the idea that government was politics. Its not. Politics is about bringing different points of view together to govern. Government is about addressing issues collectively that cannot be effectively managed individually. The press reports on politics and thinks they've covered both beats. You report politics by reporting the POVs. But you can't report on government w/o objective truths
Goddamn ๐ก As I've been getting deeper into patching together my family history there are a couple branches of the family tree that dead-end. On my mother's side that happens in the 1810's in Ysleta, TX. On Dad's side it's about the same time in San Elizario, TX. Not knowing the area it took some study to find this is basically the same region around El Paso. And all area controlled in New Spain, about to become Mexico, and basically the land of the Tigua Pueblo.

Warning: I'm going to get a bit serious and come out of hiding in an issue.
It is my intent to share experience and offer a perspective that doesn't get a lot of attention. While I am moved to share because of posts I've seen sharing a different perspective on this issue than my own it isn't my intent to target anyone's enjoyment or point any fingers of blame. If you follow the link below you'll see this is a less common problem, but a real one.
I am marijuana addict in recovery.

This is what people are saying on Fox News:
Jeanine: Whether he has hisโ thing or not, I don't want him in my bathroom. I don't want to think about him. I don't want to wash my hands near him.
I canโt properly convey how horrified I am by this grotesque bigotry. It is reminiscent of what I heard people say about Black people living in the south in the 1960s. And frankly, I donโt think anyone would have said this out loud on Fox News even a few months ago. Their evil is unleashed.
#FUNFACT - We are not dealing with a 'Regime' until January 20th. Until then we are dealing with a 'Government' for the people by the people. And I fully expect that outgoing Government left standing and all it's agencies to either stay in the job to guardrail this son of a bitch, or have extra burn-bags on standby for January 19th.
Because on January 20th, we're all under a 'Regime'. Just like all those other places we used to liberate and PROTECT.
As USA.
As NATO.

I have a little happy story for you--
@ShazzaRazza has a delightful Etsy shop where she sells adorable little gnome gift boxes (among other things)
I ordered one and had it sent to a dear friend.
She received it tonight--it was waiting for her after a long, unpleasant day--and she is thrilled! Now feels in the spirit for the Thanksgiving holiday ๐
Thank you ShazzaRazza for helping to make my friend feel special and happy.

When I set out on this journey 7 years ago, I I specifically did NOT want to emulate Twitter.
I wanted to make it curatable, algo-free, user-defined.
I don't mind admitting, I half back-pedaled & created 'Simplified Mode' - in ur far right main menu, but secretly hope nobody uses it.
Since we launched there's been countless popups tryna 'be' the next Twitter.
COSO has always stuck with it's roots & it shows. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you'll weed yourself out.
They say Iโm a pervert They say Iโm a man dressed as a woman. They say Iโm a threat to their children. They say Iโm confused, They say l'm dangerous. Weโre all just people trying to pee in peace.
