Like changing schools, moving away, getting a new job, I'm not going to be actively present in this place anymore. Thanks for all the good conversation, and for all those times you clicked on that little heart icon. See you on Bluesky?

@KevinMLevy We talked about this at the River's Edge RCO last month. Lotta RCOs pulled the same daft move when Sugarhouse was being negotiated, and instead of tangible community benefits, they get... fireworks.
Random fucking fireworks shows.
I noticed signs of this in 2016 when self-identifying leftists were throwing around the phrase "The Democrat party" - congratulations, you're a useful idiot.
The way voters across the political spectrum pronounced Kamala's name seems, to me, like a huge red pulsing warning light. Those currently dominating the propagation of information deliberately publish misinformation, and everyday Americans take it at face value.
@JohnnyWalsh__@fifimcfae It takes me about five ignored 311 reports before I end up doing something drastic, although usually on a much smaller scale.
That said, a car in a parking spot is easy to ignore, a car in the middle of the street, less so

Here in PA we depend on begging sports teams to make basic infrastructure semi functional because Harrisburg wants Philly to be destroyed on purpose. We are currently doing the same with the Sixers and SEPTA right now.
is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc
@DPearsonPHL My other account had 31,000 followers, and when I deactivated it, I saw a wave of new followers on both Threads and Bluesky. Will I ever see that many again? Who knows. But this place is toast.
I'll be deactivating my personal account this week.
@dmc7z Holy shit don't even get me started about the *years* I have spent trying to get any help at all from government, landlords, or neighbors.
This should be easy fucking money.
Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011.
What happened?

Okay, I'm allowing myself one spite post.
I see people saying Biden should resign so Kamala can be president for a little bit, and there are a lot of reasons I can get behind that, but especially because of all the "47" merch that would have to go in the trash.
If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.
If Harris wins tomorrow night - or if Harris even appears *likely* to win key states - you will see @elonmusk and the MAGA crowd go full disinformation immediately. They will claim the election is being stolen. It will be coordinated and immediate.
Realize this is coming.
