Oh snap, mastodon got a nice little sneaky snazzy update I see. I like it!
It's kind of funny how close q-anon was to uncovering a secret pedo ring amongst the world's elite. They really just missed. They only made one minor mistake which was their iron clad rule of "the more racist you are the less you are a pedo" didn't hold water in the end.

idk what's going on, but it's weirding me out.

are these guys just stuck in the manosphere matrix?
or am i the weird one who can't see their maturity and growth?

part of me hopes it's the latter, but i really don't believe it. i kinda think this is just a fad that's gonna burn out in 1-2 years.

another one of my friends does the same thing. posts pictures of church, how much he loves christ and how great it is to see the glory of god. also while liking posts that bash social liberalism, joe rogan and praise trump. and this guy used to call me left and right to go drinking and smoke weed.
one of my closest friends for the past 20 years and i are no longer speaking. he flipped out on my best friend for making a charlie kirk joke (not even a bad one) and cut ties with him entirely, burning that decades old bridge. now he posts pics about going to church every sunday & reading the bible.

question for you reading this -- have you seen a rise in new found christianity amongst your friends and family? like, people who you'd never guess all of a sudden becoming full blown devout lovers of christ?

i certainly have and it's giving me the heebie jeebies.

"trains not lanes" will forever be my new protest mantra going forward in #milwaukee. the need to expand public transit like the hop, light speed rails and busing is desperately needed. of course, we could've had it. ugh. thanks walker.

Here’s Why I-94 Construction Is Expected to Take Seven Years

Lane closures on Monday heralded the beginning of the massive $1.7 billion I-94 East-West modernization project.

this dude collapsed over and could've been dying for all they knew at the time, and trump stands there looking like an idiot. not helping. not caring. no sign of worry or panic. just a stare that says not my problem and a thought that screams "stop stealing my attention, sicko."

there’s something poetic about Dick Cheney dying and, on the same day, New York City elects Mamdani — its first Muslim mayor.

maybe it’s just a message that we actively do try to get better and work for a better tomorrow, even if that tomorrow is years in the future and take awhile to get there.

so I am massively, and quite embarrassingly, late to the party here and just discovered the beauty of stage manager on #MacOS and everything is so much easier to navigate. holy shit.
