Ta, Denny. IDGAF about sportsball, but I certainly see your point about luring sports fans away from Xitter and bringing them to the bluesky community. As for this maladministration and its minions, if it weren't for bad faith, they wouldn't have no faith at all.
i refuse to know anything about american football, but as a lifelong baseball sufferer, i understand the importance of playing small ball. get runners onto bases and keep them moving: less showy than a home run, but it adds runs and keeps the pressure on the opposing team
I’ve never had an Xitter, Instagram, Tic-Toc, BlueSky or any other SM app except Facebook. I’m not proud of that…FB can definitely be a pretty horrible place run by definitely horrible people. BUT…it serves my SM needs: (1) Enable friends and family to share posts about our vacations, kids, dogs, hernias and whatever else, and (b) Enable a town community page where people can share local news, activities, give-always, etc. That’s what I use it for; not shopping, not national news, not “influencers.”
I know there are apps which will do those things, but FB is so embedded in so many people’s lives that if I just switch to another SM train I’ll just be riding it by myself. So what’s the solution here, other than keeping my FB feed as unadulterated as possible?
Welcome to enshittification. The process by which you become trapped in a technology ecosystem and then it gets worse. And worse. And worse. But you're trapped, and if you leave you'll lose all contact with friends and family. I chose to lose touch rather than support Zuckerberg's conscious enabling of fascism. Sorry friends and family, I guess we just won't talk much anymore. I refuse to be trapped.
Same. I quit zuck's circus when he donates so much to the inaugural shit and the "library", just last January. I'd quit posting after the election in 2020 but still kept tabs on friends and family through the Biden years. I had top-posted a note signalling my intentions and those that cared could have asked for my alternate contact deets. Nobody did, so fuck it, and fuck them. I'm free.
Maybe, if you spelled it right, Patty's Cakes.
I suppose mentioning Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wouldn't help.

FOOTE THE BOOLE can bevery-verry- harry-canary good to us all!
Hello 👋
Welcome, Denny!
Also, did you bring those cakes we like?
I don't write the rules.
Don't forget the cedar cheese, also. Too.
Could run through the entire shopping list, I suppose. I know I don’t need the 2 packs a peace cigs, though.
*glances at news* better make it three
Jesus, what the fuck now? Football, seriously?
Denny on Wonkette?! Well, this is a lovely treat.
DENNY!!!!

Hey.
Popularism as in Christian Democracy?
In context, in Germany, the Christian Democrats are the conservative party, for example.

We use our phones in my extended fam because I refused to book the face.
Just a group chat, easy peasy

Is that SM as in sado-masochism, or social media? Seems like it could go either way
One of us! One of us! Welcome!
