This post but replace google search with the general internet.
Nearly every place that feels like the old internet is not as popular.
I used to think that was a bad thing, I'm starting to think maybe I've just been pushing aside the reality that when the internet was good, it wasn't as popular.
Well, for some it may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Twitter hasn't exactly been great prior to the outage.
Yes, but every little effort helps.

No more Private Jets or Yachts.
Transportation Infrastructure Overhaul to transition away from cars and diversify to a set of electric or non-fuel forms of transportation (Lightrail, Train, Electric Busses, Bikes, Lamborfeeties.)

There are some people who will have "always used" a spoon to dig holes, and if you showed them a shovel, they'd complain that it's too hard or too complex, and go back to using the spoon.
Republican Party: We hate you, fuck you.
Republican voters: I want those guys!
Social Contract.
Their "test run" was only sending threads posts and not receiving any fediverse posts.
This is them shouting their intent, as far as i'm concerned.
If you're in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.
This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.
This is written evidence to that fact.
They are, however, winning the race to make more gas guzzling profit generators that destroy this planet for the benefit of their shareholders.
