hello! finally got myself signed up.

Watching Putin is a prime example of why we should never let up on the pressure on Trump and his cronies and the 1/6rioters.
Putin came tino office then manipulated his cohorts to keep him behind-the-scenes in power after his term had expired. People dismissed his power grab, bemused by his finagling and puppeteering of Medvdev. He then rewrote the constitution to stay in power. And now he's changed it again.

killed the bird and replaced it with a CoSo tile on my browser homepage

Looking for any suggestions/experience with this situation. My wife keeps wishing we had friends but whenever I suggest things (trivia, etc) she says she doesn't want to sit with strangers.

Well, couldn't create a new account on Twit so just deactivated my account and took the app off my phone.

Some of the more interesting accounts I follow on Twitter are moving to Bluesky so I've gone ahead and installed the app but haven't set up an account yet.

My personal internal political rant that I have to get out so I can let it go
I hope that Europe cuts us off. I understand that there are international obligations and alliances but I hope they refuse to treat as an equal partner. No state visits here, no big hoopla when we send a delegation there. We had the chance to continue progressing but we went backwards.

I've given up on protest, protest music and ire, maybe someday it will come back, but every now and then I just want some quiet anger.

Subie 1 - deer 0

Well, after living in Maine, Massachusetts and upstate New York twice, I guess eventually I'd meetup with a deer.

ISTG, I'm not getting involved in this damn wormhole again but anyone know about this guy Stephen Spoonamore?
Saw this 🧵posted elsewhere and then saw the Rachel Maoddow clip going around.
Even if true, not a dang thing will happen

Not that anyone asked, cared or needs to hear but my rant about Tuesday
https://substack.com/@chuck34108/note/c-76267189

I've been home the last two days which turned out to be a good thing. Wednesday I was so angry & depressed, have stayed away from any deep dives into social media, radio and TV. Spent the day listening to Blanco White & only ventured off to grocery. Yesterday I was just sad but actually scrolled some Facebook posts & on here. Still stayed away from news & more Blanco White music. I did sit & try to write out my internal rants. Today will be my first test interacting with idiots.

I'm reading nothing, staying away from all media today, this week, maybe for months. Just immediately clicking post or notifications on any site, can't beat to read any news, rants or heartbreaks right now. The depression is real.
The only balm I'm finding is in Blanco White music

Out of work, heading home and still haven't checked results, predictions or rants.
This commute call Elevator music ftw!

Absolutely terrified to check my phone.
Part of wants to tell everyone to only msg me if there's good news but then I'd assume, if it was quiet, that the worst has happened. So I'm opting for full ostrich-mode.
(Yet, here I am (lol))
