Seen on Spoutible. spoutible.com/thread/12442968

💙 that #spoutible has folks who welcome you. Or “whalecome” you on Spoutish. Also glad to see Fred Guttenberg is testing the waters. spoutible.com/thread/4652151

"One woman could barely get words out through her tears. Another ran to the restroom as soon as she was done, wordless, wretched sobs wracking her tiny body. A third threw up on the witness stand." One year since the fall of Roe, women are suffering because of abortion bans.

Real talk: Journalists and folks in the media don't have the incentive to encourage their followers to join platforms like Spoutible because they need to direct their followers to platforms they believe will be successful. When they post an article, they need the clicks...

How can someone say Elon Musk is terrible while suggesting their followers join a Mark Zuckerberg platform? It is like saying Trump is awful while telling people to vote for Ron DeSantis. Does that make sense to you? These are the same people who said, "Delete Facebook"...

Black-owned platforms can succeed if we as a community support those projects. Black-owned doesn't mean inferior; we proved that with Spoutible. 0ver 90% of the people who have actually tried Spoutible believe it's the best Twitter alternative. Stop settling for mediocre BS.

With my grandmother, mom, & two aunts yesterday and my 83yo grandmother said, “I always told my girls, if ANY man you know tries to kiss or touch you, tell Daddy and me and we will BELIEVE you.” And then my grandmother looked at me and said, “You ALWAYS believe your children.”

Here's to all the Nobel Prize Barbies, and their Kens 💕

Glad this judge said what needed to be said. Sorry he needed to say it. spoutible.com/thread/13456055

I have been inundated with many wonderful, and a few truly horrible, song requests pertaining to last night’s news and have selected my favorite. It will be unsealed in due course. Thank you, no further questions at this time.

This evening, Los Angeles received another bus from Texas. That means that while we were urging Angelenos to stay safe, the Governor of Texas was sending a bus with families and toddlers straight towards us KNOWING they’d have to drive right into an unprecedented storm. Evil.

Great pick! Very irritating to listen to some members of the Senate Judiciary Committee as they interrupt and derogate a dedicated jurist. You know who I’m talking about.

Rachel Maddow did a segment asking why Elon Musk, a U.S. citizen, is “reportedly taking advice from the Russian government about how to make sure America's ally loses this war against Russia.” Rachel Maddow She added this scathing observation:

“could” is doing heavy lifting in this sentence.

Stochastic terror at work. Wishing the judge, clerk and all safety.

Did you notice that there was not a Doonesbury in your Sunday Paper (basically any Gannett paper, including the Des Moines Register) here it is! See the thread for all six panels! (1)

Leaving this hell site now. There was a time when it was vibrant. Now it’s just decay.
