So what's the vibe here like these days?

I don't know if it was a good idea or bad idea (for my mental health) to read two books about Hitler's rise back to back, but if you also want to scare the shit out of yourself and feel prepared for what comes next, read Berlin Diary by William S. Shirer and In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson.

I get evacuation alerts multiple times a day and when I click the link for more info the evacuation area is nowhere near me. The LA disaster alert system is a real [opens thesaurus] bloodbath.

Seriously, f-k off with your City of Los Angeles vs LA County discourse. Especially now. People from Lancaster to Long Beach say they live in LA, and they are correct. If anyone says, "Well, ackshually, Santa Monica is its own city, so you didn’t grow up in LA,” they deserve to get punched.

I’m really glad my LA feed is helping people. My original goal in creating it was personal: find a local guy, ensnare him with my delightful posts, get married. But alas, no luck. Now, it's used to share info about fires and other disasters. So, at least something positive came from my desperation.

“Life-sized Monopoly game” sounds like a Jeopardy answer to “What is capitalism?”
Screenshot of article from The Denver Gazette: “Life-sized Monopoly game hits Colorado” By Jennifer Mulson jen.mulson@gazette.com 7 hrs ago.

AI-generated image description: A vibrant, dynamic scene of a life-sized Monopoly game in progress. A large, tilted Monopoly board dominates the center of the image, with oversized, colorful dice tumbling across its surface.  The board is a rich red, with the classic Monopoly logo prominently displayed. It's framed by a bright blue border and illuminated by LED strip lighting.  A group of people of diverse ages and ethnicities surround the board, their expressions ranging from excitement to concentration as they watch the dice roll. Some individuals are dressed in casual attire while one person is dressed as Mr. Monopoly. Spectators stand behind a podium with signs indicating property names like 'Kentucky Avenue,' 'Short Line,' 'Atlantic Avenue,' 'Pennsylvania Avenue,' 'Water Works,' and 'Park Place.' The environment is a darkened game room or entertainment venue with strategic lighting highlighting the game area. The overall style is energetic and playful, capturing the thrill and anticipation of a giant board game.

I know people will be tempted to screenshot-dunk here in lieu of quote-dunking. May I suggest hiding the person’s ID-ing info before you do? Especially if they're a small account. Ask yourself: Do I want to give them attention and trigger a pile-on, or do I just want to respond to what they said?
“Engineering decisions and norms feed off one another. The dunk-quote, wrapping someone else's post in your own post to mock it, was the fundamental interaction of late-stage Twitter. On Bluesky, the original poster can simply disconnect their post from the mockery. The users themselves, meanwhile, discourage the use of the dunk-quote, on the premise that if someone posts something truly stupid or awful, the most useful response is not to give them attention, but to block it and forget it ever happened.”

I like it here because it makes me feel less alone. Twitter is for fighting and Instagram is for bragging. It’s refreshing to see people having friendly conversations on social media.

If I recently followed you, it's probably because I followed you on X (AKA Twitter for Nazis), or you followed me, or we were moots there, or we are friends/acquaintances IRL, or we dated or hooked up, etc.

After two years of not tweeting beyond "follow me on bluesky" or interacting with anyone, I can finally check this off my to-do list and not feel any sadness about it. Having an account there just feels like putting money in the pocket of apartheid Dr. No.

I vaguely remember a feed where you could add specific accounts to follow. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I would love one now that bluesky has gotten so big. I don't want to unfollow anyone. I just want to make sure I don't miss out on certain people's posts.
