Trump names fossil fuel executive Chris Wright as energy secretary - Of course, why not? 🦊🐔🏠 #politics
@gemswinc Every butt licker in the U.S. is lining up to kiss the ring.
@Tuckertown Good ole' boys carving up the American apple pie.
@gemswinc The Nazi white boys, otherwise known as incels are lining up behind master "sh*ts his pants" for a cookie. Tech bros will disappear the orange stain soon.
@Tuckertown Hope you're right, but that won't be much better
@gemswinc I didn't say it would be better. It will be worse. Oligarchs are now fully running the government. 1930s Germany all over again.
@Tuckertown No, I know you didn't
@gemswinc I have accounts here, Spoutibe (which isn't bad but I don't really use), Mastodon (a pain in the a$$), a tiny read only remnant account on X so I can follow a few ppl before they leave (I blew up my main account from 2009). Yesterday I created a BlueSky account which is exactly like early T. Many of the ppl you know are probably already there.
@Tuckertown I'll keep it in mind Donna. Have you seen @Slines at all, he used to stop by regularly, but not recently
@gemswinc @Tuckertown Cindy please check your direct messages.
@Slines Hi Stan, I did. Nothing yet, but left you a message.
@gemswinc Stanley and I have been DM'ing. He is very upset right now for obvious reasons. I'm trying to get him to go to BlueSky. I see him on FB fairly frequently.
@Tuckertown Ask him to stop by, if you get around to it, or at least tell him "hi" from me please
@gemswinc I'll ask him to check in here. I think he is profoundly depressed. He usually is pretty lighthearted, but not now.
@Tuckertown Thank you. I imagine you are aware of the health issues
@gemswinc I am not.
@Tuckertown Makes it hareder to transition
@gemswinc I went looking for you when you disappeared from the shitshow. I think that also depressed him. Sigh!
@Tuckertown I've heard that, but truthfully, I don't have the energy. Was on Spoutible for awhile, sterile. Also Post - poof! Points to read, nah. Enough, I'm happy here.
