In my experience, there are some people here who post like what Bluesky would call "woke scolds." But guess what, Bluesky dummies: on Spoutible you just don't follow those people and that's that. No algorithm will keep pushing them at you.

Tom G. Hughes @Tom_G_HughesSorry, but I'm not a woke scold*. Generally not my style, for better or worse.12:29 PM - Dec 01, 2023
But I recognize that a well-behaved forum needs its woke scolds from time to time.

With Sandra Day O'Connor's death, I'm reminded that when she graduated high up in her Stanford law school class in 1951, her sex meant she couldn't find a paying law job. I always admired her perseverance, but couldn't forget her responsibility in crafting the deeply corrupt Bush v Gore opinion.

I love #SpoutingClassics for introducing me to new music and reminding me of songs I enjoyed from the past. But my personal name for Spouting Classics is Earworm Factory. Luckily, each earworm tends to be replaced within a day, thanks to shiny new posts.

I love that when the NFL plays a game in Germany, the stadium always plays Country Roads. Usually they play it once during the game and, unlike in the US, they don't stop when a play begins. Then they play it again at the end, with all staying and singing along. Who knew Germans love John Denver?

I love #SpoutingClassics . Thanks for the beautiful, goofy, hard-rocking, soulful tunes. Is it too early to put in a request for themed music for Super Bowl Sunday (February 11, 2024)? This would obviously not fit the usual Sunday Laid Back Tracks!

I bet many people asked themselves the same thing in 1930s Germany. I've known people who were sure they would've hidden Jews during WW2, but I doubt they really thought about the pressure to conform and how much easier it is to just keep your head down. We can only hope for the strength to resist.

Tom G. Hughes @Tom_G_HughesI have political opinions, and I've certainly shared them here. But right now I'm questioning my credibility as a political warrior, wondering (as I have before) how much Good German is in me, how much I will buckle if things get Putin-like repressive.12:43 PM - Nov 17, 2023

US Rep.Jared Golden (D-ME) had opposed an assault weapons ban, but at today's 6pm press conference on the Lewiston shootings, he apologized for his prior stance and said he would work with anybody to ban assault weapons. Susan Collins (surprise!) dodged the issue.

I saw Sanchez perform this on the Colbert show and downloaded it immediately, then called my brother-in-law because it seemed like exactly the kind of music he loved from back when he kept every weekly WLS Silver Dollar Survey music list in the 1960s and 70s.

Fantastic! I live down Route 1 about 20 minutes, but my husband and I spend a lot of time in Damariscotta, including King Eider's. I hope you can come back to Maine soon. I lived "away" for years and am so glad to be back.

I took this off of the King Eider’s Pub page on FB. It is located in my home state of Maine in Damariscotta. I gotta get back to my home state more often. To visit places like this.

The ex-officer claims she didn't know the police car was on train tracks. (A different officer's car, and it was night.) Is this still an outrage if her claims are true? The victim doesn't seem to contest the officer's claim. I just don't know about this one without more info.

Just to follow up, I was able to watch the game with the Twitch app on my computer, but it wouldn't work on my TV. I got the app on the TV, but whenever I tried to watch the game there, I just got a "content not available" message.

I read that the Thursday night games livestreams for free on the Twitch app. You can download the app onto a smart TV, a computer, cellphone, tablet. Downside--I think--is that it's only livestream, no saving for watching later. I've downloaded the app and I'm going to test this tonight.

Patriots. Based on where I've before, I'm also a fan of the Bears (lived in Chicago 14 years in the 70s and 80s) and 49ers (lived in SF 18 years from the 80s to early 2000s). Back to my Maine home in perfect time for the Brady era. Now hoping Mac Jones regains some mojo and the team gels.

Actually, yes I have been following your story. They previously said they wanted your help and that they took care of you all your life and now it's your turn. But now you say they don't actually need your help, and that sounds like good news to me, as in you can stay put without guilt.

John Bolton's Mustache✅️ @John_Boltons_MustacheYou obviously haven't been following my story. They don't care that they're uprooting my life of 25 years where I currently live. They told me IN AN EMAIL that they wanted me to help them. They didn't even have the courtesy of discussing it with me while I was visiting them.07:25 PM - Jul 18, 2023
08:52 PM - Jul 19, 2023
But isn't that actually good news? A call for help from a parent is one thing, but a "just because we want it" can be denied, can't it?
