2 Threaded Spouts

I listened to Joe Madison every day & there are so many sayings he had that sticks.

He always so said in recent years that he believes that we will win bc there are more of "us" than it is of "them."

Their base haven't grown. We just need to turnout our numbers. Organize and mobilize to the polls.

After Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s husband, Diego Rivera, divorced her, she #cut off the long black hair he adored & abandoned the Tehuana dresses he preferred. She also painted this self-portrait (detail) wearing a man’s suit, projecting defiance, androgyny & independence.
#DailyPictureTheme

The artist Frida Kahlo’s self portrait shows her sitting in a yellow wooden chair wearing an over-large grey men’s suit and a crimson shirt. Her normally abundant hair is shorn short. The only trace of her traditional femininity is a single dangling gold earring. Her body faces the viewer and she gazes with no expression. In her right hand is a pair of scissors. Her lap, chair and the brown floor are strewn with long strands of black hair, as if each lock had been tossed away. One cut braid lies on the floor to her right.

Before launching Spoutible, I said we would allow users to delete replies, and a significant number of people were upset before seeing how the feature would be implemented. Now no one cares. Same will be for AI-generated summaries.

The irony is seeing people complaining about the lack of features on Thread and seeing people complaining about too many features on Spoutible.
