I've been holding back my thoughts for years now. I withdrew long ago but I can't survive in this prison I've constructed in my mind. Maybe talking about this can help someone else break free. I locked myself in and out for a number of reasons but I feel so isolated and I never realized how much of my self-worth comes from social connection. I am going to post like I used to in early CT. I don't care anymore. No one else has shame online and besides I can always say it was AI writing it lol

Huh I had no idea that there was a Civil War prisoner-of-war camp off the coast of Sandusky near Cedar Point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson%27s_Island

This Carl Sagan clip could have filmed today (just swap out Reagan's "Star Wars" program for trump's "Golden Dome") https://youtu.be/CXqQVdrxRQM?si=thAG__KpcXbBrmoN

wait until they find out we first called them "robots" derived from "robota" which means "forced labor" or "slave" in Czech 😬

Is there a "heatmap" of casts? What timezone are casters most active in?

75% of Ohioans believe it’s important to improve the state's rail network. Passenger rail could add $106-$107 million to Ohio’s gross state product and create 1,100 new jobs. Participation in The Midwest Interstate Passenger Rail Compact costs us a measly $25,000. Cut 1 cop car from the budget FFS. https://www.allaboardohio.org/posts/will-the-ohio-senate-listen-to-the-people-on-passenger-rail

TCR Party was an experiment ahead of its time and worth revisiting. TCR Party was a research project / social experiment that was a Token Curated Registry (TCR), a list that is managed by token holders, that you could participate in directly on Twitter in 2018. You'd follow the TCR Party Bot and interact with it via mentions and DMs. You get TCRP tokens for signing up. Each day, you could get more from the faucet. There were only 99 spots on the leaderboard / TCR of Twitter accounts. Those on the leaderboard would be retweeted by TCR Party's account. To get on the list, you needed to be nominated. Users would stake TCRP tokens to nominate someone (if there was an empty spot). No spots? Don't think someone belongs on the leaderboard? Stake TCRP to challenge them. Token holders then vote to keep or kick. If your challenge is successful, the person who nominated the kicked person loses their TCRP they staked to nominate. Lose your challenge, lose a % of your staked TCRP to the nominator. Link: tcr.party

Why don't music apps let you block artists? I don't want Kanye or Drake songs. Their music is stale anyways.

Dudes couldn't stomach the idea of growing up to drive a minivan. So they turned almost every truck into a minivan.

Android is making it so you need to grant apps permission to access your local network. This increases privacy by limiting apps from fingerprinting you or spying on you through devices on your network. https://developer.android.com/about/versions/16/behavior-changes-16#local-network-permission

If you weren't familiar with eggs 🥚🥚 and someone tried to describe them to you and all the ways can cook with them, you probably think they are BS'ing you.

I'm with you. If I had to guess it is because Palantir has become a go-to for the government to solve problems... though that's enabled by the revolving door of politicians going to work for them.

I like to periodically take a moment and appreciate that I can open a tap and have clean drinking water.
