*sighs* Okay, this is the lesser of two evils. Looks like anyone I'm interested in still following is going to be here now that Elon is taking a dump all over Twitter.

Friend on a private chat:

"I don't know what Roy Moore is upset about.

He should be used to coming in a little behind."

There's a guy in town who walks around talking to himself using only figurative language.

We call him the Village Idiom.

I had forgotten this post. 4 years later... yeah, even more so. Let the frat boys fuck up twitter.

Two words:

Siri Macros

(Yeah, Apple calls them shortcuts, but you and I know what they REALLY are)

Ah, here's why I cam; iPhone.

NO. Home. Button. Xs, Xs Max with 6.5 inch screen on the same sized device.

We've come a LONG way from "you can't run a walkman while we takeoff and land".

(the Apple Watch can now do ECGs. You heard me. You two can have the cover to Dark Side of the Moon with your actual ECG recording. Well, you COULD. :P)

OMG if ANYONE ever questions my geek cred; I'm sending a text to counter.social while texting with @ZIganna as she flies to MN (she's currently at 30K feet and rising) while we BOTH watch the Apple announcements today.

We got "syncced" in terms of the broadcast by calling out features as they were revealed.

(The new Apple watch now can detect when you've fallen and you can't get up, btw! :P)

So apparently one immigrant killing Mollie Tibbetts justifies separating families at the border because, as noted in a propaganda video released by the today, "Mollie Tibbetts was permanently separated from her family".

In other words, they use a specific criminal act in which the perpetrator is already known, charged, and will likely be convicted of, to justify human rights violations on a mass scale.

Seems fair. 🤦‍♂️

Going cold turkey re quitting Twitter is not easy. You kinda got used to that rat-a-tat-tat lifestyle, and it sorta suited my ADHD.

But it was ruining my mental health.

I got GOOD at twitter; but that achievement was starting to feel akin to belching the alphabet after chugging a gallon of beer. Impressive in terms of perverse technical skill, but WHY?

Especially if you don't even LIKE beer.

Is anyone else having issues deactivating their twitter account, or is it just me?

Hang on Twitter. Get 100K likes, but burn out on the sheer onslaught of SMH.

Retreat to CoSo because I'm not an addict of social media, it's cool, I feel alive, if you don't have it...

Whoops, sorry, lapsed into a "K's Choice' headspace there for a second.

Feel better on CoSo, decide to dive back into the fray for reasons.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Remember, it's only insane if you EXPECT a different outcome.

So I text from multiple platforms/devices; some, like my iPad mini, only rarely (I tend to have phone more)

Which makes this oddly compelling story from the emoji keyboard all the more baffling. Why did I use 🐩? And really,🇸🇾.

RT @[email protected]: I met with @[email protected] on May 9, 2011 at 3PM at his office in Trump Tower. On his desk he had a large binder labeled “Iowa,” and on a side table he had “Trump For President” yard signs. He told me he was running for President in 2016.

I would testify this under oath.

Every now and again social media reminds me why it exists.

Sometimes someone realizes “I have something to say” and then ... they say it.

No wonder the farm is attacking . People are finding their voices again.

RT @[email protected] I have a thing to say about growing up after tragedy. When I was a senior in high school, 7 of my classmates were killed & 24 injured. It was an awful day full of fear, confusion, & pain. Press swarmed. News helicopters hovered overhead all day filming footage of the carnage. 1/

RT @[email protected]: 70 other students and I are trying to arrange a campaign to protest against gun violence in American schools and universities. Can you use your Twitter account help us spread the word? @[email protected]

RT @[email protected]: Emma Gonzalez. A student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

An American Hero.

Watch This.

All of it.

The young people will set us free. snpy.tv/2sCztjN
