@randahl EVERYONE needs to get off Xitter, for good, as long as it's being run by a psychopathic fascist. I already summarily block ANYONE who reposts directly from there; I will not break bread with fascists or their enablers, however witless. Anyone who does that is part of the problem, whether they realize it or not.Folks, make hard choices if you must. But MAKE THEM. Don't wring your hands. ACT.

@randahl I guess this should be a warning to politicians everywhere: Don't let your citizens fall into unemployment and relative poverty, or they will become very easy prey for any populist party that promises to solve all their problems by harming someone else.Desperate people, who has lost faith in a government that seems to have stopped caring about them, will do desperate things. That is true in Germany as well as the USA.

@randahl The Wendat people (which were referred by the early French settlers as "Hurons") were there long before that there was a country called the United States of America. Another thing is that "America" is a continent, not a country, so calling it "Lake of [a continent]" just sounds stupid.

@randahl Yes. One stream, in particular, with a 24/7 livestream, and a chat, will do that. It has been happening for a few weeks. If I shut off the chat display, it seems to be more stable.

@BillMcGuire @randahl their undertakers will have a succesfull year.

@randahl continuing to wear my pedantic hat, a phrase along these lines this is clearer:if you are a human, reply to this with the word "monkey". Otherwise, reply to this with the word "potato".

@randahl @scottjenson FWIW something very much like this is part of the default @phanpy interface, at least in the main feed - there's a marker to show that a post is part of a thread & each post in a thread, if displayed individually somewhere in the feed (e.g. being boosted) has a number (though the total number of posts in the tread isn't displayed, probably because the interface doesn't "know" if the thread is finished). I use nothing but Phanpy on both desktop & mobile, it rules

@txtx yes, true, however now it makes more sense. Satnav coverage is jammed in many areas inside Russia as well, some of this started well before the war.To be clear - I am not saying it makes this okay. None of all of this is okay.@randahl

@randahl They even closed his mouth for him and put him in a different shirt.
