I wish there was more support for changing plans based on weather, but so many people expect they'll be able to do whatever they want whenever they want, regardless of what's going on outside.

Will creating Video Content actually mean anything for my books? No idea, but I’m glad I’m in the position to give it a try. I used to feel awful because all the avenues of promotion that I used to have access to were gone. I still miss what online was like in the 10s. I felt like I had a voice.

This is basically how I feel. Concerns about Biden are a valid news story; the breathless coverage is not valid if it is completely blocking out the fact that an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon with a wildly unpopular agenda is the guy on the other ticket. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is there a media brand that lost more value over the last 25 years than MTV/VH1? Most media conglomerates would kill to have a brand associated with hip youth culture, and Viacom strip mined it with two decades of reality TV dreck and now it's gone bsky.app/profile/cast...

That said, given their vague ages, the Kents' appearance has still varied since Byrne. That and what's considered "old"/how middle aged or old people should look has changed over the decades. (See the parents of the Archie Comics gang, who used to look more like their *grand*parents.)

When Threads opened, I read in the fine print that you can never delete your Threads account unless you delete your entire Meta account, FB & IG included. That made it a non-starter for me. Plus, I hate the direction IG has gone, so I didn’t expect Threads to be an improvement on that.

A lot of people don’t like Biden or have concerns about him as a candidate and a president, but they *really* fucking dislike Trump, and the more they learn about Project 2025, the more they hate it They just need to be convinced that the threat is real

JustWatch and ReelGood are two I know of. I bought an AppleTV just because of the consolidation feature, but then Netflix wouldn't work with it (of course not) and so I went back to Roku.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Agreed. During peak Twitter years, I found SO MANY new writing jobs/opportunities via professional social media networking (I also made some wonderful friends). Guess those years are gone.

Kids just getting started trying to be independent artists will never experience or understand what a real "grass roots" support network on Twitter or whatever can be like. I've mentioned this before but early Kickstarters I ran? 1/3rd of the funding was from Twitter.

The qualities of the candidate often do not fucking matter if the people who really want that candidate to get elected are willing to play hardball, especially if the candidate is an incumbent. Maybe, just this once, we could learn this lesson from the GOP to save ourselves from true horror.

Thank you. Sounds like old news to me, but I was pointing out people still being people online decades ago. And I like to focus on the many positives -- friends all over, help and support -- I've gotten online.
