I Run with Scissors

There will be bugs. And bad jokes. Mute me during Eagles games.
Mostly harmless.

It is possible to live really, really well, snag every possible minor creature comfort you can, & yet also do everything you can reasonably do to boost the ego, career, & life of every single person & creature you meet along the way when you have half a chance. #ThisIsTheWay

Thought I'd share what weirdness I've been up to:

Just thinking about @Eagles vs @dallascowboys Sunday night.

@timkellernyc Jesus said how you use money is a window into your heart.

Are we greedy & hoarding from the poor?
Angered about paying someone a family-supporting wage?
Offended at poor people being forgiven loans?
Do we put people on boards of trustees primarily because they are rich?

@am_anatiala I guess that bird was a fan of fluffy pancakes.

With bots spamming social media sites and snapping up user names, you might want to get your accounts set up now on bluesky.
But also hedge your bets with the nonprofit, less corporate _Mastodon_. And good old _Tumblr_ is still alive and weird, set up there too.

It's not about the money. They'd like to make money of course, but these father muckers already have more money than God.

It being done as an act of aggression against us. As part of all the other Capitalist shit the Aristocrats are ramping up lately.

@MikeTanier I'm paranoid. But I think it is on purpose.

Social media is getting worse. Profit is secondary now. It's breaking up our communities as frustrated people move to other platforms, only to remake communities that are smaller, less diverse, less life-giving, & less powerful.

[I Run with Scissors @HeRunsWScissors]

@MikeTanier To end this paranoid rant: being paranoid doesn't mean you aren't noticing something real. Anyway, I have to get back to work.

[I Run with Scissors @HeRunsWScissors]

@MikeTanier They could live like gods for infinite generations. They want more.

They want us poor, sick, anxiety-ridden, pissed off, over-worked, weak, and powerless. Renters w/o housing security. And virtual slaves whose poverty forces us to work poverty wages.

They want their serfs back.

[Mike Tanier @MikeTanier]

He is creating a sludge pit of ads and misinformation for short-term "profits" (loss-cutting) and political reasons. But we post here instead of other places because we spent 14 years building platforms/networks, not realizing they are being cut out from under us.

And give homeless people cash. They gots to eat too! They might use it for drugs. I hope they do. Homelessness sucks & is impossible to escape without miracles & superhuman feats you could never do.
Let them get high & forget their shitty circumstances for a while. Proverbs 31:7

Give the rest to the poor & your kids.
You know the economy is trash & family supporting jobs scarce. Give the poor money. They got bills.
Your adult children need it now. And they can establish themselves now so they can be ready to take care of you when you are old.
