This one where you should read the comments. But of course I can't read the comments now because I deleted my account. Boo! SFS “Also, where are the fathers in all this?” “Those legacy programs. This is what happens when you lower the bar just to let those white people into college.” “Their culture glorifies this behavior” “I wonder when they’re going to get off that Republican estate? They’ve been voting for those people for 50 yrs and don’t have anything to show for it. What have Republicans done for white people?!” “Too much Country/Rock music” “If only Kev would've complied... 😏” Just a few!

So the alert happened. Anyone else become a zombie or drop dead? No, but I forgot to put my phone somewhere else while taking a nap. Scared the crap out of me.

My phone never went off 🤷🏻♀️. I even turned the ringer lower just so it didn’t freak me out.

So the alert happened. Anyone else become a zombie or drop dead? No, but now imagine working in a school when this happened. My. Gosh. So many phones. So much noise. So much yelling about the world ending because 13 year olds think they're funny. I mean really, we couldn't pick an evening time, federal government?

So much yelling about the world ending because 13 year olds think they're funny. I mean really, we couldn't pick an evening time, federal government? I knew about it but forgot and was completely shocked at how loud it was. I had my phone connected to my car while driving through Camp Pendleton. I thought something terrible was happening.

Blinken, Garland and Mayorkas in Mexico 'President Biden’s top cabinet officials will seek to forge a united front with Mexico during a series of meetings in Mexico City on Thursday that will focus on drug and gun trafficking, as well as illegal migration. The U.S. officials — Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick B. Garland — arrived in the Mexican capital on Wednesday evening. They are particularly focused on bolstering efforts with Mexico to curtail the stream of deadly fentanyl wreaking havoc in communities throughout the United States. American and Mexican officials have adopted increasingly critical rhetoric over the best way to block the trafficking of the synthetic drug, which is driving down life expectancy in the United States. “The men and women of the Justice Department are working tirelessly every day to address the three core challenges we will discuss during our meetings: fentanyl, firearms trafficking and human smuggling,” Mr. Garland said in a statement to The New York Times on Wednesday.'

Literally every time I think I can't be shocked by something he's said or done, something else comes out.

Has anyone here been using Threads? I signed up back in July, then got bored with it. But I logged back in yesterday. It’s definitely slower than TwttX, but I’m hoping more people migrate now.

I have been on since the beginning and it’s definitely picked up on activity the last few days as TwttX continues to slowly implode. There’s still a lot of development that needs to be done, it’s not great with breaking news stories/up to the second stuff like TwttX was, and it’s not a 1:1 replacement by far, but so far it’s been OK for getting me the political news I want (which was what I used TwttX for). But I am trying to step back from the 60 second news cycle to a healthier mindset where I access the news when I want kwim?

It seems like most of the people I follow on twitter have gone to Blue Sky, but lord knows how to get an account there.

It seems like most of the people I follow on twitter have gone to Blue Sky, but lord knows how to get an account there. I’ve felt like lost John Travolta for months trying to figure out where to go, then just defaulted back to TwittX because I like the accounts I’ve built up and didn’t know where to start over. But I think I’m finally done and need a new home. Threads is easy because it’s linked to IG, but I don’t know if it will be a true replacement. 🤷🏻♀️

I have gotten back into podcasts and audiobooks to fill my time, so I’ve definitely been doing less mindless scrolling, but now I do need a better place/system to get my news and commentary.
