This is my Congressional Representative. The Orange Felon in the Oval Bordello has called for his arrest and execution. There is NO POSSIBLE UNIVERSE in which this is okay. 🤬😡💩
The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

This is worth listening to...and ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE that it had to be said out loud. And ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVABLE that Orange Felon has called for the DEATHS of these fine patriots.
Telling the truth is NOT "sedition," and don't you DARE try and tell me otherwise.

Current social media is dominated by billionaire-controlled platforms, leading to harm. Smaller, earlier online communities fostered connection & were human-run. I'm reviving Venice's concept, for distributed, independent communities – a return to those earlier values. erbosoft.com/blog/2025/11...

AI-generated Go code for locale-aware date formatting failed spectacularly! Gemini's initial solution was outdated, and subsequent attempts were equally flawed. Ultimately, a legacy, unmaintained library proved the winner. A reminder: always verify AI output! erbosoft.com/blog/2025/10...
