The color of the guitar is NO @#$%^& ACCIDENT.
Bruce #Springsteen and the E Street Band sing a song in #Europe that somehow means a hell of a lot more now than it did when it first came out, and it meant a lot then. #NoSurrender to #Putin.

I AM LEAVING MASTODON NOW FOR PERSONAL REASONS.
I am fine. I am not in any kind of trouble mentally or physically. I'm just taking a bit of a break.

Key excerpt:
"We just made Quentin up, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean stories like his aren’t potentially happening everywhere, constantly. Good journalism is about finding those stories, even when they don’t exist. It’s about asking the tough questions and ignoring the answers you don’t like, then offering misleading evidence in service of preordained editorial conclusions."

Use it all the time! "This person wrote something I want to see/reply to later" (e.g., a song they want to hear or a question I didn't know the answer to at the time)

@rail_@bark.lgbt can I just underline this, applaud, and point out that you can be straight and grasp how important it is to make public conveyances safe for everyone

Yakyu is correct. The greatest big-league #baseball team of all time was the 1931 Homestead Grays.
Yes, that is an objective fact. Yes, I will die on this hill. Metaphorically speaking.
Chapter 7: 1931, Homestead Grays

EXACTLY.
No matter what else they claim, no matter what kind of noises they make about freedom, America, democracy, family, etc. ... if they start talking about how much #Russia wants peace, they are wittingly or unwittingly a tool of #Putin. And unwittingly is worse, far worse.
