Aside from this being just another case of the pot calling the kettle black, we’re watching the head of state call for prosecution of any dissent. Sure, it’s not novel, but it seems like another milestone on the path to totalitarianism.

I’m glad to hear that. Thanks for contributing to the advancement of civil rights.

I am literally crying and far too sad to respond to your comment. I’ll put it off until I feel too guilty to reach out. I’ll hold onto that guilt for the rest of my life.

Sorry to hear that, Miss Una. I hope you have a social group that respects and appreciates women like you.

I like Vermeer, but if all paintings were held to that particular style, we would have missed out on the overwhelming majority of great works. I believe the same rule applies to all art media. The ability to convey the feeling of the moment is foundational to art.

Probably my most over-used quote, but:

“This better not awaken anything in me.”

Thanks! That was incredibly relatable. Do you have any more? I’ll be awaiting your prompt response. Please note, replies may take 3 to 5 business months.

“I reckon this gym ain’t big enough for the both of us, pardner.”

That was great. Thanks for sharing.

You made that? What is it/is it about?

I like Existential Comics, and that’s a particularly good one. Looks like there was some lively debate in the comments.

Thanks for your contribution to the anti-cheat discussion. I didn’t know much about it beforehand.

That’s really cool. Thanks for posting the image. I got the following error when I clicked the link:

It’s beautiful. Art isn’t just about documenting events. It’s about expressing information, including the feeling of the moment, even if it’s not objectively and empirically accurate. I love it.

Cool. I learned something new today. That does sound like a chimera.

That was a fun read. I’m not quite that tech savvy. Why would someone prefer Linux features on Windows rather than Windows features on Linux?

I thought the first one was pretty funny. There’s probably a hieroglyphic version of that joke carved into an ancient temple somewhere.

I’m sorry to hear that. It was MLM that ended a friendship for me. It’s really strange that corporations can eat relationships.

I learned a lot from that post. Searching the Fediverse has been kinda slow and painful. I’ll have to give it a try.

I get an error message when trying to read the comment. Not a rare occurrence in the Fediverse, but still better than the alternative.

Brutal. I love it. To be fair, that’s one hell of a first post, and Ted Cruz is the wurst kind of hotdog filler.
