Meh, some banal stuff about me.
I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @[email protected]. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

FYI, I don't follow back anyone with:
0/1 posts
No picture
high follows but very low followers
no actual user name (just the handle)
I have managed to prune most of the trolls out of my feeds and have no interest in adding more.

Let's hear it for the @dakotacountymn.bsky.social Librarians: Wescott County Branch, who assembled a truly glorious display of books focused on "Immigrant and Refugee Experience." Closing out the year being the community institution we need.

I loathe this world (sometimes) and the bigots (all the time) who have been so successful at sowing discord and dissent just to line their own pockets.

And if you still can't see the connection between genAI, chatbots, etc. and right-wing plans to eliminate everyone but their cronies from employment/existence, I don't know how to help you.

Look at the differences between the "hellscapes" right and left imagine if the other is in charge. They tremble at the thought of seeing taco trucks and hijabs, men raising children together, people wearing masks so they don't get sick. We tremble at concentration camps, bombings, abductions.

Right-wingers feel existentially threatened by simply having to observe us living our lives. We feel threatened by their repeated efforts to wipe us completely from existence and have the world to themselves. This is not a balanced debate.

There is not a single team in the NHL that hasn’t given up at least 101 goals so far this season
Except for the Colorado Avalanche, who have yet to give up 90.
There is not a single team that has a bigger point differential than +34
Except for the Colorado Avalanche, at +66, almost Double.
Wild.

Contemplating the upcoming New Year. I am, in general, both an optimistic & peaceful sort, but I think it might be time to smash it with a mallet & build the next one better.

Diamonds are squished carbon atoms.
Therefore, we are all diamonds.
Now polish yourself up and shine.

too overwhelmed for 1:1 interaction or too obviously in a dark mood to want to get it on their friends or needs time to think about an answer and needs that answer to be perfect (it doesn't need to be perfect, but they're trapped by believing that it does) or they saw the text and got distracted
