two for two on forgetting to close my quotes 🤯
So I guess I could finish that thought —
This is a place I imagine as someplace are actively contribute to. I’ve been gone for a few days, and I’m just realizing today how worn out I’ve been.
good looking out ✌🏾
It’s a column called “Ths Soapbox”
howling into the void
Yep that’s what feels like, and it’s part of starting a community because how is anyone going to find you if you’re not making any noise?
It’s actually exciting. During my first week around here, someone framed it as the shift from consuming content to making contact and I found that really compelling
The other thing I’m thinking about is how the other site was like joining a conversation, but here we are starting conversations
Holy crap this is endgame. The head of the judicial body is too concerned about the feelings of the body?
So, just logically. I have a personal commitment and value to something. And somebody gets mad at me about it. My values and commitment should be able to withstand that? Yes? As soon as someone has a different opinion it’s like “I can’t bear to hear a different opinion (clutches pearls) and I can’t stand to have my opinion critiqued”
For you and me and the lady in the checkout line (and I say that as a lady who is often in checkout lines), that’s great. But this is the head of the judicial body of one of the most powerful nations - most powerful democracies - on earth. These are opinions that shape the lives of 300 million people at least. And he’s gonna be there for another quarter of a century.
Like how many steps is Roberts from a kind of de facto chilling effect, and I’m not trying to be funny
Thank God for the generations who hear a public figure try to corral or control a situation and then begin to act in doing the exact opposite. Definitely need to remind the conservative justices that there are people out here
End rant (for now)
They could save a ton of time and money by going straight to the criminal trial before all of the assets disappear
So they will do exactly the opposite of what would save time and money
“could have been on it” … but without confirming exactly who made the invitation. Interesting. He’s about to be asked publicly why he declined.
This whole thing is just so sad. How dare he take a vessel that had not been verified safe at those depths.
… so I could host an instance with a magazine that is essentially a digest of federated instances, and I can add/remove based on whatever aligns with my principles?
I don’t think I have that right, sorry but if you could explain it a little differently, I’m still trying to understand how the fediverse is.
Agreed. I was thinking about reposting it in my little magazine and thought that was overkill. But now I’m re-thinking it …
Interested kbin peeps - @fact_check_this
Frankly I have trust issues lol. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do the thing that most people seemed to be flocking to. And kbin seems to have more features and is already its own thing, already has an identity, isn’t trying to replace an existing social media channel
Happy here so far
can we stop calling everything porn?
In here, I should stand on my creativity, not on my consumption.
This is so great. I need this reframe.
dig it, works great
RadioShack
Oh wow, that took me back. Had to google when they closed.
that would be great
surely someone will @ him on twitter (if he’s there?)
It’s so hilarious/fortunate/sad that that was the name of the file. We will never find the others now.
