Linkin Park’s new album is really, really, really good. Sad no Chester, but Emily does a good job. Her guttural scream is impressive too.

Ain’t this the truth!

So I think I untangled my cross posting. I was wondering why my sethgoldstein.me blog was getting shared in so many places and duped.

I’m really enjoying Bluesky. I like that it’s federated and I love that people are using the tools/api’s to enhance it and make the AT protocol talk with Activity pub. One issue is now I have no idea why stuff is showing up where?! I have Threads showing up in Mastodon, I have Bluesky in my Micro.blog. It’s a mess but I’m loving it!

Alien’s save us from ourselves please! For all we know, Trump is an alien who is not benevolent and is trying to destroy us. I mean the “guy” looks like one. Musk is probably another alien. Have you seen Men In Black? They live among us! LOL Here’s hoping aliens show themselves soon. Though I don’t blame them for not doing so. grubz.net/2024/11/1…

The Onion, yes that Onion, bought Info Wars! This is awesome on so many fronts! And the best possible outcome for the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. I needed something like this after the whole Trump 2.0 and his cabinet clown picks. theonion.com/heres-why…

Now that Bluesky is picking up steam and has lists (it took too long for that feature to come to fruition) I think Bluesky is decent. I’ll keep playing there and here and there and there and there. LOL I know my friends are like what the hell are you doing? You’re on too many platforms. It’s called syndication baby!

Group chats over Signal just got better! signal.org/blog/call… This looks really promising.

Sitting at the anxiety clinic at Temple University. We’re here for the kiddo. I’ve been surprisingly calm and not anxious with the whole drive down and what not. Shocking for me. Getting more anxious going through the evaluation with Mere, but that’s just because it’s long and taking time and I’m ADHD and antsy. Kiddo apparently is doing really good in his session (separate from us). Chatting and answering questions. I’m very proud of him.

It seems as though Netanyahu and Trump, both bastards and horrible people have the 9 lives of cats. Or cockroaches might be more appropriate for these asshats. Geezus we’re in for some “fun times” ahead (sarcasm). Going into Gaza after the Oct. 7 2023 massacres in Israel was needed. But the continued battle, genocide, territory grab, obliteration is not okay (putting it lightly). You can’t tell me that the second most powerful military in the world (Israel) couldn’t be more strategic in their offensive?

Trying to figure out how geeky I want to get with this “micro” blog. That’s the update.

Saw this poem from E.B. White from 1973. Thought I’d keep it here because it’s fitting. “As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness.

Trying to keep myself sane and be there for my family is tough, but needed. We need to give all of ourselves grace and the time to process how fucked up this country is. The fact that so many voted for Trump is concerning. But the fact that so many stayed home and didn’t vote is even more upsetting. WTF is wrong with us?

Wow for the first time in a long time Descript didn’t stall my browser while editing. That was a quick editing time for Entrepreneur’s Enigma for next week. Hopefully it keeps up! 😊✌️😉😎❤️🎙️

A must read. And you know what, until the Dems wake up they will continue to lose. Taylor Lorenz is right. www.usermag.co/p/why-dem… Quote of the day On Tuesday, User Mag correspondent Pratika Katiyar was at an election night watch party at The Bench, a new culture and politics hub in NYC. She asked TikTok entertainment mogul Adam Faze his take on Trump’s win and the role influencers played. He said, “Conservatives own digital media, Liberals own Hollywood.

Trying to lift myself up. Trying to find a way to carry on. Trying to find a way to fight back for what’s right. Trying to be supportive to my partner and those I love. Trying to not be consumed with worry.

Yep. About how I feel right now. I hear people talking about going DARK on social and online. I think that’s not the way to go. I think now it’s time to fight. How? I have no fucking idea. I do marketing and advise a startup called Public Assembly (https://ourpublicassembly.com). This might be the perfect time for it. Am I scared shit-less? Yes. Am I worried about the future? Yes.

Well, FUCK! This doesn’t look good. Not good at all.
