@caseynewton @news that’s the rub, isn’t it? I pass no judgment, you do what you need to do. If I were in the journalism, info trade, I would probably still be there, too.

It’s a running joke about the forgotten GenX often being dismissed as irrelevant. I take exception. No we didn’t have nuclear fallout drills or active shooter drills. Random drive-by shootings were a thing.No. I live my existential crisis everyday I open a plastic bag to pick up after my dog. Open the plastic tube holding his topical flea medicine wondering why it’s not in a glass ampule or something that the store clerk could apply from a larger reservoir…it’s more than climate change…

@fcktheworld587 @VeryBadLlama totally. I had to listen to one woman bitch about her interest rate on her first home while making the payments working minimum wage. So close yet so off. I asked what bank would give a home loan like that and where those minimum wage priced homes were today? She still didn’t get it. 😖 oh and let’s not forget the credit score that didn’t exist…so out of touch

@danep @pjohanneson @pluralistic i gave my nephew a campus tour of my alma mater and as we came from the engineering building to the student union i sadly said, “and this was where all the pay phones used to be.” Sad. Memories…people standing in line waiting to check their pager voicemails 😂

@fcktheworld587 good night. It gets better. I used to focus on all the nasty 🤮 “features” of the habit when the cravings got really bad, shudder and plod along.

I asked a customer if his arm bandage wasn’t anything serious. He responded that it was a post dialysis bandage from #covid. 85 days in the hospital, kidney failure. #CovidIsNotOver (I had noticed his absence and weight loss so…i was being nosy. Long time patron.)

@stux I found the same people said those things about twitter b4 it was x. I think it has more to do with what they are looking for and how they’ve been coddled (if that’s the right word) or trained by algorithms.But then again I recognized the algorithm “withdrawal” in myself and learned early on to like & follow anything that interests me, not worry about followers ratios & blocks. I am a toddler wrt to tech literacy too but I manage :)

@futurebird Dino or Dina for dinoponera. So when that one relative calls them Konstatin or Kostantina, they can shoot back no dinoponera if you must use my full name.

@37712 @luckytran we can’t build homes because private equity, corps & banks have bought up most of the real eastate & are withholding it driving prices up. They don’t want to build infrastructure in the desert, waiting for the government to build new water treatment plants, hospitals etc…only problem is the same companies hoarding land don’t pay taxes for that stuff. 15 yrs back I wanted to buy business property in sanbernadino—nothing left to buy only rent

@37712 and why do they want to build on federal land? Because then the federal tax dollars will pay for infrastructure and they can hold onto their better real estate.

the writer Thomas Chatterton Williams, who was for a time a member of a group chat with Andreessen. “If you weren’t in the business at all, you’d think everyone was arriving at conclusions independently — and [they’re] not. It’s a small group of people who talk to each other and overlap between politics and journalism and a few industries.”An exerpt from Ben Smith’s piece on group chats https://www.semafor.com/article/04/27/2025/the-group-chats-that-changed-america

Timothy Burke can go eff himself. Stop defending trump voters. They choose their media. They choose their information. They choose their podcasts. They chose to vote for trump three times—and here’s the kicker most of them lie about it.

#howtomesswithneighbors #HashtagGames Put up posters and send digital newsletters for the new HOA you want to start…if anyone shows up in support, well, you know who doesn’t get an e-vite to the bbq
