Glove and Boots!
How else would I have learned of the existence of the Rollie and the eldritch horror of cylindrical eggs?

You saw what Rabbi Danya wrote. She said it way better than me

And if you really want to go all in on Stein voters instead of, say, TRUMP voters, ask yourself what the fuck that's about?
Who you so invested in letting off the hook, here, and why???

That's not what I was trying to say. I get that it's always the marginalized who are subjected to things and are expected to suck it up, microaggressions are everywhere, and I get you are hearing me do them in this convo, despite me trying to talk about a different thing and just not getting there

I am really sorry if what I'm trying to say came across that way. it's not what I meant at all. It's that everybody is processing some kind of trauma, and if we lead with that, it will take us all down

I'm saying, yeah, people are jerks. Maybe I'm one. But we don't have to like each other to share a common cause

I'm honestly not sure what grievance you're hearing from me, other than me being frustrated that the most important work we can do right now is to try to build community, and instead of that we are expanding energy arguing about who is the bigger jerk.

I'm not trying to blame anybody. I personally either fall into or am very close with people who fall into most of the categories you are listing. And a lot of people are angry and hurting. But allowing that to be a distraction only helps the fascists

We just don't have the luxury of nursing grievancesright now, even if they were justified.

... or they are indulging in a bit of venting of the justified anger and horror that we all saw coming. To build solidarity, both they and you will need to move past hurt feelings

@dell.bsky.social This is an analysis by a Harvard educated lawyer, community organizer and bookstore owner in Buffalo and it's spot on.

It was the aftermath of the Civil War that set the precedent of normalizing treason, and we've never been able to over come that precedent

2000 was certainly a terrible precedent that sped us down this path, but FDR & post-babyboom was the anomaly. Sadly, this is who we've always been.
You could just as easily argue that Ford pardoning Nixon broke everything, or Reagan/Lee Atwater/Iran-Contra broke everything.

Way further back than 2000. Precedent was set after Civil War when Confederates weren't given appropriate consequences

That is not the problem. That is the point.

Ghost does not do what Substack does, though. Substack makes related information discoverable, and has the ability to cross pollinate conversations through comment threads and referrals. It has a social media aspect that is catnip to everyone, including those who want to spread hate.

Because I'm in a couple of cooking groups, I've been getting AI recipe sites in my FB feed. I block them (or click "see less of this") on sight.

Seems pretty clear to me why: It keeps asking for feedback. They are trying to get better at simulating people and are using the feedback to train the bots to be more convincing
