Two trucks carrying $1M worth of tequila from Guy Fieri and Sammy Hagar’s label vanish in apparent heist: ‘We worked so hard’
Looks like someone took a wrong turn at Flavortown.

Have my thoughts about the Bluesky migration but doubt those opinions are allowed here.

Stopped at Taco Bell for lunch and their cup transported me back 30 years
The decision to put my almost 15 year old dog, Muffin down (i hate that wording).
I don't want her in pain or to be suffering unbeknownst to us. I love her so much. She has saved my life more times than I can count. She loves her siblings. She loves her family. She loves the kids so much. She is a lover. I don't want her to waste away. She won't eat. She's lost so much weight. She drinks but she just wants to sleep. And my dog is active. This isn't like her. I know she's old. And I'm greatful for almost 15 years. But I swear she looks at me letting me know it's okay.
Please hug and kiss your pets. Try to be kind to eachother. I'll be taking a break from the board.

We have probably heard it all anyway on Twitter. It is deeply divided like everything else these days.
It is obvious to me what is happening but seeing no ads is a big plus on its own. Add the privacy issues with Grok collecting your info from your posts beginning very soon (you have to opt out, not sure how many know this), not being able to block people, which went into effect last week, it is a disturbing place.

All fair, just have never been a fan of being places that echo only what I say or think, but it’s a free market and to each their own. I also don’t have any social media so maybe I’m not a great person to speak about it. Just my friends here and on Discord.

Echo Chamber is just that. You surround yourself with people that do nothing but agree with you it turns you into a ill informed person
I do understand that. Since the world is so divided, it works out great, people can go wherever they like, as you said.
I’d rather be in an “echo chamber” of people who are like-minded (ps - haven’t found it to be this infamous echo chamber personally) than some cesspool claiming to be all about free speech with algorithms clearly designed to promote disproportionate views.
I didn't realize you had signed up. Seems that people are ill informed because of the fake news out there, get their news from Twitter which has been pushing extreme views. There is so much of that on Twitter, it is ridiculous. If you don't believe Musk had anything to do with that, I just don't know what to say.
Edit: Sorry Wally, I posted before I saw your warning, delete if necessary of course.
Sorry to hear this, going through the same thing with my cat. It's hard to lose something so loving and loyal. We had our time and we'll always have our memories.
