Andy, hi!

Welcome back!

Yeah, it’s mostly downhill. SNS is dead (we have a new SNS on GroupThink 2.0). Even the occasional meaty article will have less than 20 comments. SNS used to have 1,000 comments by Sunday afternoons.

Hey you! How are you doing?

All sadly true.

Doing nothing is not a recipe for success. Doing something is better than nothing and may nudge that Overton Window and make stronger action more possible as benefits from this legislation show up. 

R.I.P. SNS. You were a good friend to many, over the years.

Congratulations! You’ve made it to nearly a year and a half; that’s amazing!

Great! We invited a number of people, and most didn’t show up; maybe kinja ate the invitation, so I can’t remember who all was on the list.

I can’t remember if you’ve been invited yet or not, but we have an alternative to Jez/SNS on on another platform;

Hi, this may be a repeat invitation, and it’s fine if you’re not interested, but a number of Jezebel refugees have reconvened on another platform, and you’re welcome to join us;

Excellent Darwin shot!

You’ve had a lot on your plate! I’m glad your dad is doing better and he and your mom have the support they need.

Congratulations! I hope you can decompress from the stress of the last job.

Try quordle too; 4 words instead of one, and each letter chosen is a clue for the rest of the words. 

You’re welcome!

Excellent news

You’re welcome!

I’ve been reading the Kyiv Independent, which has been recommended by a number of sources as being reliable. They are on the ground, and have been reporting some things a good 24 hours before they hit the Western media, and have more details in some cases and different viewpoints.

The most famous guest star was always the guilty party (very much like any Law & Order episode), but it was fun seeing if they could cast appropriate/look alike actors for the old and young versions.
