The quoted material below is quoted material written by someone who is not me.

I’m just so angry.

It’s been boiling and bubbling (and toiling and troubling) for awhile now. Not just since a spoilt, sadistic emerald heir stole—and yes, I am using that word; I’m using it deliberately and with fury aforethought—Twitter out from under the people who created it and made it the “town square” that so many seething gargoyles want to control.

Yes.

This.

Exactly this.

Enough of these joy-killing, hope-killing, greed-exalting...people who would rather be things instead.

I love it when a wordsmith decides to practice their craft to its fullest extent.

It would be nicer if it wasn't behind a paywall.

On iPadOS Safari, there was an obnoxious login widget that didn't respect its dismiss button, but going into reader mode got rid of it.

[julian]

Ah. Yuck.

Apparently I need an user name there before I can ask for the theme "I've seen a lot of transitioned" to be further explored? (Remembering what Samuel Johnson remarked about blockheads.)

Loved this. More of this please.

When I left Live Journal I deleted everything except for a user pic that was Putin as a gay clown.
