Hopefully he can play well there. It seems like the Prem ain't for him.

I’ve found myself both reading books more and reading long form news more. Ending the endless scroll has done me some good!

Seriously. That's a show where I could only do one or two at a time.

That seems like a great place to get old and walk in the glow of each other’s majestic presence.

After reading that, I really wonder what the process is to get credentialed. How did he get in? I went to the website, and I only found three authors on a quick scan of the different sections: Simon Ateba, Femi Adesina, and Noah Pitcher. Femi Adesina works for the President of Nigeria as well, and focuses on Nigerian politics. Noah Pitcher works for Kevin McCarthy (the Current Speaker of the US House), but his stories focus on West Africa as well.

The website looks busy but polished on the main page, but sloppy work becomes apparent quickly. They can't seem to decide on whether or not they're capitalizing links. The banner across the top is a straight rip of the New York Post. If you try to look up Adesina or Pitcher's work, a few stories load but the "Loading" at the bottom never goes away. In the links at the bottom, they still have a "Test Page 2" Link! There's also a strange subheading under the Health and Business Sections. Upon looking it up, it's the beginning of a quote from Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther which leads me to believe it was a placeholder from their website builder that they never replaced or erased.

This certainly seems like a low-budget mouthpiece for a certain political view.

I’ve found myself switching to New because of the much smaller community size. I’d like to participate more than I have in other places. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d use Active to see what others are saying.

… do y’all not know where Asia is? Both of those are European conflicts

Check the body’s eyes for sand!!!

Yeah, it seems like an anti-spam measure. I remember that accounts would get all of their comments overwritten if they were compromised, and this would help that.

I’ve been joining all of them. I might pare down if I need to at some point, but I want to try to catch all the discussion on a topic.

Amazing(ly disturbing) work!😂

It’s even more important than your drink! The fact that I’ve floats is what allows ice to act as an insulator on top of frozen lakes and oceans. If it sank, liquid water would take its place and freeze. After a while the whole body of water would be frozen.
