I think Obama getting elected and immediately going “whoopsie it’s actually complicated and I’m NOT going to shut down Guantanamo like I promised” was the final straw in my radicalization.

It’s what they call the block here that just disappears someone from your timeline completely. If you block someone or are blocked by someone you don’t get the annoying notices about blocks like you would on Twitter. It’s like they never existed, which is great!

Yeah, David Allan Coe was certainly not a good person, despite the musical talent.

I just read all of the cancellable opinions from that one post and people don’t seem to know what cancellable means.

I’m not saying mine because I do know what cancellable means.

I think the success of that show went to his head and broke his brain

Everyone has an uncle that says slurs at Thanksgiving, I guess.

I really don’t know how that guy has managed to get a pass for being such an asshole. He still shows up on “best podcasts of all time” lists.

I was excited when murmurs came back but it wasn’t great, needed moderation and the option to block people, and became a ghost town pretty quickly. But maybe I’m just way past needing murmurs at this point in my life.

Yeah Facebook groups are the only thing that keeps me on that site. The big difference between that and Twitter is that I don’t actively see white supremacist stuff every three posts on Facebook. Twitter is the internet version of the hanging out at a Nazi bar thing.

Gerald Fart was right there. AI has no imagination or sense of humor.

Well I missed it but that’s ok. I preordered it the day she announced it of course.

Maybe the best thing that I got from living in Louisville for 5 years was learning of Joan Shelley and Nathan Salsburg.

A grey sign with white writing stands in front of an old tree. The sign reads: I am very old and need to rest. Please don't sit on me

Just another relatable National Trust sign

This person is just one of the many whiners who loves fake engagement from bots on Twitter and thinks they should be able to sign up on a new site and get massive engagement without putting in any effort.

Yeah the people who are still on Twitter are what we colloquially refer to as nazis. There’s no excuse to be there any more.

Imagine the utopia that balboa would be if they just didn’t let anyone set up booths there.

I think they’re jealous that Rite Aid managed to file for bankruptcy and go out of business, honestly.

Ugh, so sorry, Billy. I hope it happens this year, now more than ever.

This bluesky growth “problem” is only a problem in capitalism terms.

I do like the one comment on YouTube, though. Seems like it’s coming out on his own label so he must have acquired the rights to that second album they recorded that was cancelled when he turned into a yoga Nazi.

Um, I’m going to pass. And this is coming from someone who was maybe Joseph Arthur’s biggest fan before he lost his fucking mind.

I hope it’s just material from a decade ago and that Peter Buck isn’t working with him again.

That’s fair. I also don’t consume any of the PR media for the team so that probably changes my perception. You couldn’t pay me to listen to San Diego sports talk radio or to read whatever crap Kevin Acee writes for the UT.

Also I remember what Brent is like during games on Twitter so I can also understand the sentiment of the original tweet too. Lol

Yeah in regards to the original image, I agree 100%. That said, it does feel like some people here want them to fail so they can be right. I don’t think less of fans who just want to see their team win and I hope the team does just that even if I’m cynical about it.

That New Basement Tapes collection is pretty great.
