This isn't debate club, I am not going to debate you.

Same.

Also, I am spending less and less time here on bsky for the same reason.

I have decided that knowing every terrible thing that happens in a given day is not good for me and what might be better is to attempt to connect with my community and do things.

This might be better for you too. ❤️
Unless I absolutely must for professional reasons, I will not be watching your nuclear war movie. I will not be watching your incredibly bleak and depressing murder show. I will not be watching your artistic despair. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t order water when I’m already bailing my boat.
I love an honest setting of expectations.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.

“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Transphobia is a luxury belief. Yes, ordinary people are often ambiently transphobic, but they have bigger things to worry about. The true believers are wealthy, powerful, influential, and face no real hardship that would force them to prioritize issues that affect them.
They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

I bet if someone came out with an mp3/flac music device with that late 80s/early 90s Sony build quality, they'd have a pretty solid hit on their hands if they targeted and sold it right.

It may not start out as a ipod level hit but I could see it ending up there.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

It happens within the US too.. Plenty of white people in the Northern US will claim that racism is a Southern problem.
The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

Normal is understanding that what is in my neighbors pants is none of my business and it's not my place to decide what is "weird" or not.

If Gov. Haircut wants the party to be more normal and less judgemental he should start with himself.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

Nobody understands the meaning of “Gilded Age” even though they only need to know one of the two words means “looks-like-gold” (derogatory).
