Whenever I see someone post "the world is really bad right now" I have to resist indulging the small part of me thinking "I have some bad news about all of history"

Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure.

The start of Covid’s 7th year
is the perfect time to revisit
the pandemic hobbies
you have abandoned:
you can get back to baking
and puzzles,
you can get back to reading
and calling your friends;
and you can even get back
into doing what you can
to protect other people.

The cycle is almost complete. Big Tech helped erode my attention span, and now the source of my brain rot, all these dumb apps and phones, chug so slowly with all this AI bloat an BS that they're too frustrating to use for my short-ass attention span. Like an Ouroboros of shit.

Listen: be realistic!
You should not expect
people to cancel gatherings.
You should not expect
people to gather cautiously.

Hey @ladotofficial.bsky.social, you've had funding for 14 years to fix 4th & New Hampshire in Ktown, but instead you did nothing, which killed Nadir. Amazing that it only took you three months to remove our crosswalks and memorial. Put them back in or we will. Again. And again. And again.

The Democrats were longer in charge during the genocide than the Republicans...so you won't see us celebrating all Democrat wins. We will celebrate anti-zionist politicians who respect ALL human rights without throwing any group under the bus. If you want a better world you should do the same.
