Aaah ... thank you, my friend.
You are definitely one of the very best things about BlueSky x 10.

Excellent points.
I can understand the yearning for independence. Indeed, I found Scotland very different from England.
There has long been a movement in California to make the Golden State independent. Now more than ever.
California is the engine the rest of the country runs on.
Good to know.
Thank you, David.
Perhaps I've landed on some perverse lists. I've been advised that those who describe themselves as feminists get pelted on all social media.
Haven't we though?
We only have to look to at the natural world - and to our wonderful family pets - to see how much better other species are than humans.
You are right to be cynical about America, Paul.
It is cruel, barbaric country.
It always has been, now more than ever.
You are very fortunate to live in Scotland.
Do you favour Scottish Independence?
Indeed, December is the big giving month for sure. This year more than ever.

I discovered her on your feed, David.
Thank you, my friend.
She is indeed a tremendous talent.
Greed is a good one, Babsi.
And epidemic these days.
Well said, as always Paul.
We need a whole new species. One that honours women and girls; equality; socialism; education, and our environment - for starters.
Excellent choice.
You're right.
Patriarchy is deadly dangerous, Helen.
Happy to find you here.
Thank you, David.
Well said, my friend.
I thought the same until recently, my friend.
Now everyone who wants to be 'my friend', is asking for money on BlueSky.
That surprises me, Steve.
How annoying for you.
Apparently BlueSky has around 8-million active accounts now.
The number of people asking for money this month is off the charts.
I detest scammers and tome wasters.
Obviously, I don't agree about that.

Thank You for sharing this.
It's useful - but I disagree about Hilary Clinton.
She did not become president because America is a stunningly misogynistic country.
We do need to weed out the corporate Democrats. Big time. This starts with Schumer and Jeffries.
Delete one thing forever.
Explain why.
I'd delete misogyny.
Women and girls are murdered, raped, imprisoned, force to have babies, denied an education, by the tens if millions, in every country in the world, because of misogyny.
Misogyny.
Violence and oppression against women and girls is an epidemic that costs millions of lives and keeps millions living in fear and poverty.
Only an absolute jerk.
Those blowers should be illegal.
I will soon be visiting the Harvey Milk Library in San Francisco.

This applies equally to countries.
There is a time for letting go, for shedding old ideas of who we are - and who we might yet become.
Most importantly more people watched my TED talk than watched Sam Altman’s for which I thank everybody involved 🙏

You missed nothing.
I left the moment I read Musk was buying it, April 2022, nearly four years ago.
I knew he would destroy Twitter and he did.

Our library, through 'Friends of The Library' has a massive book sale two days a month, handled by volunteers.
It's astonishing the quality books one finds there for a couple of bucks. Every kind of book imaginable, well organized, just like a library would do.
It's not a bad thing to survive with our reputation in tatters --- as long it will be.
For too long, America (the country) was an arrogant bully.
We have been humbled to the core by the fascism threatening us every day. If we survive this, we will have been deservedly humbled by the experience.

Project 25 is massive.
I doubt anyone has gotten through all of it, Steve.
And the date just means the start of it.
It could go on for decades.
They will succeed and fail.
We will succeed and fail.
They will not win.
We will not win.
This is a long, long, long struggle.
