Mostly just checking in here occasionally keep up with friends who are still here. Otherwise posting more on the place with blue skies.

@dfgillie And all the calls to "use the courts!" To what end? It'll all end up with the Supremes who will inevitable rule against democracy, as they have time and time before. We're so fucked.

@dfgillie I read this yesterday on my own subscription. The pull quote summarizes my own feelings. Those who voted for Trump have actively enabled a fascist regime in the USA. Those who didn't vote don't care. Both are deeply disheartening.

@dfgillie I looked at my follower list on here recently and fully 90% of it was bots.

@dfgillie I check in every so often, but I'm primarily on Bluesky now. Just can't stomach giving this site and its owner the daily attention it craves.
Lovely shot of the pond. Been years since I've seen it in not-winter.

@dfgillie View from Sugarloaf. One of the few things I miss about living in MA is views like this.

@pattonoswalt I really like your comedy and think you are an awesome guy. I'm excited for you to continue exercising the First Amendment rights that all of us enjoy.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

Deleted my Twitter bookmark. Keeping the account, but I'll be at Bluesky from now on.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

Is this what accountability looks like?

@GailSimone I'm still not a big fan of the Buscema's faces (especially angry Hulk), but I can't deny the blistering dynamism of their work. So few achieve the "leaps off the page" standard they set.

@RBReich I have a seven-minute commute, so I always go home. Keeps me from eating an expensive, carb-heavy (but delicious) Jersey Mike's sub every day.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@JoshMalina I'm shocked, shocked to hear a man from Southie is racist.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@dungeonjanitor I've been really happy with the Superman and Wonder Woman books. BoP has been excellent, too.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@GAZZMA5 @jeremylovesyall I love that.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@AgkistroZero @TimothyImholt Oh bite me. Fucking troll.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@SSkorkowsky It drives my wife crazy that I have multiple editions of LOTR in hardback and paperback. I was happy to toss these and the DK Sweet editions.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@AgkistroZero @TimothyImholt ugh. I'm disengaging, not because you're right, but because you're not listening. I used to think like you do, until I read evidence-based information that said otherwise, which changed my mind. You're obviously unable to do so, so there's no point in continuing this debate.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@AgkistroZero @TimothyImholt evidence shows that they mostly work to better themselves. This is not just pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. It's based on actual, real-world research.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@AgkistroZero @TimothyImholt In fact, there have been a number of studies of variations of Universal Basic Income. All showed that recipients experienced better health, many started small businesses or returned to school, and some worked on passion projects like art. When people don't have to work to survive

@wylde007 @Doomswords @MayorClif @TimothyImholt "the uptick in required vaccinations has not improved or overall health"
Are you serious? Before vaccines, it was a regular occurance for children to DIE from measles, pertussis, rubella, smallpox, and polio. Vaccines have ENORMOUSLY improved our overall health.

[Sudro2 @Sudro21]

@RealKoalaRedux @TimothyImholt This is largely a problem of class and education. Upper class families can focus time on their children's education, provide quiet, focused places for study. Working class families don't have the time to do this, which is the biggest factor in educational discrepancies.
