There isn't a name for old friends who've just met.

Frequent engager. I miss conversations with people online. I miss the Internet before social media platforms ruined attention spans. When trolls were thrown out or ignored.

I can't emphasize enough how much this is true.

I've followed. I have also been honored to be the inspiration for others.

Also from childhood, they guided me too:

Annie (80s movie)

Anne of Green Gables (books)

Mabel Stanley (played by Kristy McNichols).

And of course, Ms. Pippi Longstocking
#PeteButtigieg a very good example!

Why not interview the Tate brothers, Piddy or Cosby?

Especially Cosby who made sure his victims didn't remember what he did to them.
@ktlaent.bsky.social Rape must be ok with you if you're going to promote Mr. "It ain't rape if she doesn't remember it." Ceelo Green.

Really sad that in a horrible time where rapists, sexual assaulters and apologists are being put in government, KTLA joins in on it by promoting Ceelo.

I don't think anyone that's been on the MAGA train (overtly or covertly) knows how to speak the truth.

They've all lied through their teeth at confirmation hearings including the last 3 justices.
Klobuchar: "When I questioned AG Bondi during her confirmation hearing, she assured me that politics would not play a role, that they would make independent decisions. That is not what this is. This is a vengeance prosecution. It is not about the law."

Uvalde somehow didn't convince the NY Times that "something is seriously wrong in this nation," but Charlie Kirk's murder is a bridge too far.

Shooting school children they've completely normalized, but Kirk's death violated, "basic, common-sense, need-not-be-debated American" values.

“Her records were sealed for 12 years. They [federal officers] would have had no access to these records unless somebody illegally handed them over ..."
“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”

This is how the trumpers think. the racism is that strong. they won't leave him as long as he hurts people they hate. even their own kids are not off limits as long as he hurts black and brown people. this is how bad racism is.

Update: Krypto didn't get adopted. Sadly, adopting him isn't an option for me--we wouldn't be the right fit as this shy boy would have to take the elevator 4 times a day to go outside, and that isn't going to be right for him.

You can still adopt at the link in this thread!
Since Superman came out, there has been a surge in interest in adopting dogs, especially rescue schnauzers, thanks to Krypto.

What if I told you there is a dog who looks JUST like Krypto who has been looking for his forever home for months?

Meet Mokshi, available for adoption this weekend in WA

I'm glad he didn't have to see it through

It's hard to watch. I'm glad I'm not a kid or within 20 years of it.
In a letter drawn from a posthumous collection of correspondence, published in 2019, the neurologist Oliver Sacks argued that society had no immunity to the seductions of digital life. “What we are seeing—and bringing on ourselves—resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale,” he wrote.

My Mom and I always loved eating with the shoebill stork as the eating space was next to its lake. Lemurs ruled the island.

RIP Wild Animal Park
The shoebill stork looks like a dinosaur.. 🦖
Such a beautiful looking bird… 🐦

Now the Coast guard is behaving like another gang of thugs?
www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
An experienced Canadian boater was fishing in Canadian waters. The US Coast Guard capsized his boat in an aggressive arrest. He almost drowned during the ordeal, then was thrown in jail.
I hope someone has this on video, they can’t arrest people in Canada. #BoycottUSA
