Loved her version of Motherless Child - spine tingling.

Tried that on the other place, and it failed miserably. Their toxicity feeds off amplification. I’m sure there are plenty monitoring them - for all the difference I would make, I don’t need the automated hate on my timeline.

Great show tonight - very funny as always, and wonderful support as well from Hayley.

And also great to see you on BlueSky :)

I’m taking comfort from the early statements saying they expected Trump to race into an early lead, as a lot of early states would only go Republican. At least, that’s what I’m leaning on to be able to sleep tonight…

Thanks - that seems to be controlled by using the "Feeds" menu, where you can set which sections appear at the top of the home page. Much more flexible than Twitter, but then there's not the same push to monetize everything... :)
