I decided to use Ghost for RP Social. So far it has been a good WordPress alt and has a newsletter system built in which is cool. I don't have anything going on with it yet and it is a very niche and small community I'd aim for.

Existing in this era has been like watching "Do you want the party with the best general track record overall, or turbo fascism?"
and seeing people take 500 hours to debate the pros and cons

TLDR; The dem party has been a place for minorities to carve out spaces to be heard for decades and improve their quality of life and people need to watch and listen to black people more when it comes to political insight

As a 🟤 person in the US it's funny seeing ppl finally step up now that it's 'FULL FASCISM' going 'THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHAT PARTY YOU'RE IN IT'S ABOUT DEMOCRACY' when the GOP has always been fascist & eroding human rights since lit. the 1960s min. but literally no one listened to minorities for decades🧵

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Seems to me an increasing amount of bad history is based on the idea that you can just keyword search terms (esp. 21st c. terms) to locate origins & relative usage. It's totally unimaginable to these keyword searchers why folks in the past would use diff terms or not mention common practice at all.
"the term doesn't appear therefore the concept didn't exist" is genuinely very dumb?

I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

I suspect that the "loneliness epidemic" has been with us as long as we've been a species, and is in fact one of our defining characteristics, now dressed in a new name. who among us does not feel the unbreachable gulf between self and other? who among us has ever been free of the hunger to loved

I'll never not find it incredible that (esp. the U.S.) we get that people need ≈13 years of schooling to be ready for the world but put zero time into teaching healthy intrapersonal relationships, sexuality & communication & then when problems arise go 'The only solution is banning risqué media'😔
