Don't let them get you. That's what they want. Joy is resistance. ✊

"Open season", @cnn.com !? Seriously!? Those are the words you chose!? That's not only disgusting, but also ... excuse my French ... fucking irresponsible. Especially ... I mean, did you ... like ... read the news lately?

Screenshot of a CNN News teaser. The headline reads: "Finally, everyone can say bad things about Taylor Swift"
The story teaser starts with the sentence: "It's finally open season on Amerca's sweetheart." The second sentence is cut off.

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.

Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

I just want to say that this tyranny will come to an end. I do not know when, or how many innocent people will be damaged by it, but it will end. There will be justice for the oppressed. There is light at the end of this dark tunnel of sadism. And I'm bringing the fucking flashlights. Maddy out!

Or maybe ... a torch? Do we still do torches? Not sure which timeline I'm in. It feels wrong.

Thanks! I think there's often the alternative of Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V. But that doesn't work everywhere.

Do you actually need copying formatted text? Do you know anyone, who does? Because I don't. But that might be my "bubble".

Mein Beileid.

What's your tactic?

John C. Descy @jcdescy.bsky.social · 5d

Der Unterschied wird im Artikel eigentlich ganz gut erklärt.

Sowohl am Handy (Browser, nicht App) als auch am Desktop (Firefox-Derivat) keine Probleme.

Comic mit vier Panels. Panel 1: Person A zeigt auf Person B, die traurig zu sein scheint, und sagt: „Dass es anderen schlechter geht als mir, hat mich noch nie getröstet.“ Panel 2: Person A läuft mit ausgestreckten Armen auf Person B zu und sagt: „Es soll ihnen gefälligst besser gehen.“ Panel 3: Person A umarmt Person B schweigend. Panel 3: Person A umarmt Person B immer noch und sagt: „Und mir auch!“
