I'm so sorry you are writing a mail client and I will send you good vibes.

@Bruce To be honest I hadn't looked at the rest of the thread. I just meant that RHPS is so iconic for some of us that you can figure out when someone's talking about it by a whole bunch of things: Time warp, everything you mentioned in that post, (nothing's as iconic as that, not even in future generations), ETC. To say nothing of the sutff it ended up influencing.

@NicksWorld Tell me you're talking about Rocky Horror Picture Show without naming the film. 🙂

@technocounselor A lot of it has to do with filtering certain words and hashtags when they're provided, although those who frequently post about politics rarely provide anything to grab onto in order to build an accurate filter. So it's essentially an arms race. Maybe with the new crop of Mastodon apps we can collaborate on a filter list and share it so as to create an experience whose goal is as little politics as possible? Just spitballing. Would be happy to help with this effort.

Sending hugs and hoping you get some relief soon.

Damn. I literally jumped on here about 30 seconds ago. fediverse really upping it's game.

@out_of_easthofen I feel like some of these people need a mandatory field trip to the fediverse. Because you have to be high to actually believe leftwing antisemites and their coward enabler bystanders haven't ever called for the death of people. They do it at least once a day to Jews. Every single day. Maybe twice on Shabbat and yamim tovim. Same goes with other leftwing spaces. If the day begins with Yom they're calling for the death of Jews or celebrating dead Jews and it's not going to let up anytime soon.

@dukepaaron @csgraves Oh cool. Yeah that would work. I'll go check it out. Thanks!

@dukepaaron @csgraves That's the free as in freedom audio book thing, right?

@csgraves I'm really hoping it's available on one of the accessible book platforms so I don't have to wait a year to read it.

@csgraves I borrowed a lot of those words from Dara Horn's upcoming book. Because frankly they're f*cking bull's eye.

@csgraves Yep same.

@csgraves I might be able to trust that this were a true expansion of/upgrade in understanding of Jewish identity on the part of the state of California if I hadn't spent a bunch of time watching a statistically significant number of members of the non-Jewish world take and twist whatever they needed to from Jewish experience/belief/culture to further the lie that Jews are destroying what they hold most dear so they can gain or maintain power, only to then complain in performative outrage when we notice and call it out. At this point, I'm pretty sure this will, in the best case, not be good for the Jews. For those looking on from the sidelines, this isn't really that difficult. Jews are a "joinable tribal group with a shared history, homeland, and culture, part of which is religious. And there's a word for this in Hebrew. It's "Am", (pronounced Aam), as in "Am Yisrael".

Hopefully you get some positive movement on the whole situation.

Yeah I get that that's why they're virtual. It's just that being without air conditioner when it's 182,000 degrees outside is just so damn miserable.

Ug sending hugs.

Thanks. Sending some your way as well.

Yes. Yes it is. I did it for four months this year after my mom passed away.
