We can't (and shouldn't) bring back the old, good internet.
We can (and must!) make a NEW, good internet.

That's about it. Allows for the saving of old comments, pictures, data etc. I use it as a timeline reference that I can reflect on for writing or artwork.

@MotherJones So they booed the loser on behalf of the Big Fat Putrid Loser… “Hey dude, you’re just not our kind of crazy. We like your fascist flavor but we thrive on bay shit crazy. Can ya dig it?” 🤔
@morgfair if this Dumpster 🔥 is not extinguished post haste, we can legitimately question the sanity, coherence, and the physical and mental health of our collective future. Collectively, we are a bit insane as it is…🤔

@RememberUsAlways Thanks! Is the favorite, just a star on someone’s post? If so I did not realize it provides any lasting effect. I’ve placed a couple of bookmarks, but have not yet figured out how to call them up or what benefit they offer besides returning to an old conversation. I am following a number of people and their posts seem to be upfront. There is just so much content it seems to be a lost cause to consume it all. 🫤

@tomcapuder There is zero concrete evidence. However this does not preclude the fact that living in a state of ignorance despite what we consider advances in our scientific knowledge, that we have a handle on this reality, see the big picture and understand the limits under which we exist and comprehend. We can’t even see to the other side of the room. It would be a mistake to draw premature conclusions. 🤔🙃

“Trump appears to have given up on winning the cases against him on the legal merits and is instead trying to win by whipping up a political base to reelect him, or even to fight for him.”

@Siroj42 @MikeDunnAuthor@kolektiva.social Not making any excuses for humanity. We don’t instantly rise up to correct atrocities wherever, whenever they occur. We usually respond when we personally start to be adversely effected by some situation somewhere. For the US, the post WWII anti-communist world cops we became, which btw we can longer afford to be.. world cops, as we can’t seem to manage our own affairs much less the Worlds…🤔
