I really have to put /snark on my snark posts. My dry-as-the-Atacama sarcasm can mislead folks.

You know, I've never given myself a proper introduction on here. So.

The key to CoSo? Post the stuff you love. People will find you, and you'll find your people. It really is that simple.

I'm going to toot this several times a week.

We are powered by, well, us. This is the PBS of social media. If you value this troll-free, ad-free, algorithm-free space, please consider going Pro, or donating other ways.

Well, howdy new users! Welcome aboard!

Just to let you know that #COSO is a different place. It's not Twitter. It's not a "Twitter lite". This is a different kind of space. Get to know it. Leave the way you were on the bird site behind. You'll have a much better experience if you do.

Here's the thing: Navalny was a threat to Putin. But he was not a threat to Russian imperial pretensions.

The rot in Russia is not any one man; it's Russian culture writ large.

Holy shit. I mean. Holy shit.

Those gobshites chanting slogans are NOT the majority. Not even close.

Um. Fartacus is losing votes to someone who dropped out weeks ago.

I see St. Bernard of the Holy Sparrow voted with... Tom Cotton. As always, fuck him.

Dude. Your team coughed up 3 goals in 20 minutes to a Championship side.

Sigh. Here I go again, on my own. I'm just going down the only road I've ever known. I'm a drifter, and I was born to be alone.

Boy. This book aged badly.

It's been weird here for a bit. I think that hostile actors are making probing attacks. I mean, I doubt that was the actual Steve Bannon. But stay frosty.

Heh.

And the leader of Uruguay in 1978 was Aparicio Méndez.

Sure. I could have asked the horse his name as we rode through the desert. But I respect people's privacy.

Ugh. I just saw what we have as a summary for "The Hours". I know it's from the publisher, but I'm gonna have to chop that verbosity down to size for my flyer.

And now, with my coffee at hand, time to make a couple of flyers.

OK, time for a cafecito.

Oh my heart.

A gentleman just came to the reference desk, asking if the library had any literacy programs. He can neither read nor write. I told him that sadly, no, we don't. But to try out local community college and see what adult programs they had. He was with another gentleman, so he has a support system to help him achieve his goals.

Hey, here's an idea: Since Manhattan is colonized land, and "colonizers" are bad, give the island back to the Lenape or their descendents. Start with the land on which Columbia sits.

Gax-X ingested. Do your work.

So. The man—and I use that word loosely—in France who raped a woman to "avenge Gaza" has been released on remand and ordered not to contact his victim.

What the actual fuck?
