Sometimes I'll stop the alarm, let myself laze about a little longer, ease into my day. The traffic is a pleasant hum on the street below, the coffee fills the air with its invigorating aroma, birds warble & chirp outside my window, and I think to myself...
"I'm gonna poison those fucking birds."

The best episode yet, IMO, covering a deeply fascinating area of human experience, the make-believe of religious credences. The Data Over Dogma Dans bring on author of Religion as Make-Believe: A Theory of Belief, Imagination, and Group Identity, Neil Van Leeuwen.

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less'.
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

For day 12 of #WomensHerstoryMonth let's celebrate civil rights activist, feminist, poet, professor and writer, Audre Lorde. She was self described as a "Black, lesbian, feminist, socialist, mother, warrior, poet" who believed there should be "no hierarchy of oppressions."

Seeing @u_go_grls offering some of my own questions in the pod, I want to say the integration of Google is concerning, if it means they have sway over policy enforcement or the viability of user content.

I don't ever know what the drama is about, & even when I think I do, I realize I don't have all the information from which to make a judgement. Self-righteousness du jour, or nuanced political situation, I'm without full understanding.

Someone I know on another SMS who produces their own music posted a new track. It's #DrumAndBass , which I'm good with, but aside from the track itself, her video offers a really great series of statements about her stance on social media and creativity.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett ~ Much to the dismay of MAGA, but to the pleasure of Democracy, Texas 30 has overwhelmingly re-elected me to a second term ☺️!
I’m currently at 93% after early voting & I don’t currently have a General OPPONENT!
Now, let’s take the HOUSE BACK! 💪🏾

The 4 women on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the 14th Amendment
The 5 men on the Court made up language that isn't actually there -- pretending that Congress *must* pass legislation for disqualification to occur
They're mansplaining the Constitution

About a year ago, I tweaked my personal theme of Spoutible so I could enjoy it in green, my favorite color. Since then I've added a few more tweaks and slightly altered the colors to be a bit more "minty".
In case anyone would like it, here's my "Spoutible in Minty Green" user style for Stylus.

It's always fascinating to see how different news outlets frame a story. This is why #GroundNews is my favorite #News source; it shows me the #MediaBias of various sources.
For example, let's look at this story:
"Biden administration considering delaying switch to electric vehicles: Report"

The title doesn't do the video justice. Have you consented to having every activity on your phone stored, tracked, & sold? Even when you think you have everything secured/off? You're not as private as you think.

@cbouzy ~ Why does spoutible have such a short limit on password length? All the caps & special character stuff is not the best way to strengthen a password, it's length. I was forced to make a weaker password per these recent updates. At least let me make it long.

Fern Lovebond (they/them) @FernLovebondSo Spoutible has made me change my password. Okay, fine, I get that. Good idea. But I'm disallowed from using the password I selected and the reason makes no sense, bc all the prerequisites were met, & I couldn't use a very secure password until I *REDUCED IT'S STRENGTH* by making it SHORTER. 🤨07:58 AM - Feb 15, 2024
