Now that twitter will likely be crashing to the ground, I'm finally ok with calling it X.

What should we talk about?
Not politics..
I know, dating, let's talk about dating.
Dating sucks.
I've always thought dating to be a lot like going to the dentist, while there isn't the sound of the drill, there is still of course the drooling and screaming in agony.

P.S. I'm available.

Wow. Bluesky. We can breathe.

X-X+Bluesky = freedom.

We've earned it!

So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.

A four-panel comic. IN panel 1, two black vultures are perched on a branch. One says "Mmm, look at that succulent carcass?" The second one says "Where?" In panel 2, a plastic zombie head and hands sit on a lawn in front of fake gravestones. The second vulture says "Oh, that one? It's just plastic, I think. Zero flavor." The first vulture says "Rats." In panel 3, the first vulture looks in the other direction and says "What about that nice juicy one over there?" And the second vulture says "Ooh, yum!" In the fourth panel, a second fake zombie head and hands rise from another decorated lawn. The second vulture says "Wait, no. It's also fake." The first vulture says "I hate this season."

Halloween is cruel to vultures.

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

Tweet from Gunther Eagleman from July showing pictures of fires from the BLM protests saying This is how Democrats will peacefully protest when President Trump wins…

Sorry Gunther. Democrats don’t try to overturn elections by rioting. That’s your side.

Confirmation of this information might arrive in various ways.

Russian propagandists are mocking Trump, saying the only thing he has to offer is to allow Russia to take not only Europe and the UK but also Alaska "and a bit of California."

Russian missile strike on Sumy yesterday killed 11 people, 2 of them children.

89 people injured.

The video shows clearly that a residential building was attacked, a purely civilian object. Russia targets Ukrainian civilians in an attempt to weaken and threaten us.

Germany will allegedly soon start mass deliveries to Ukraine of Helsing kamikaze drones equipped with artificial intelligence technology that gives them high autonomy in the face of enemy electronic warfare - Bild media. The industry compares these drones to Taurus missiles.

"The option of freezing the line of combat contact is unacceptable for Russia." - Peskov.

He added that the conditions formulated by Putin continue to be relevant and they are the ones that need to be met to stop the hostilities.

Kremlin elites want to capture more Ukrainian land to make themselves richer by "restoring new territories."

They already do this in Mariupol, a large budget was allocated, most of which was stolen. Buildings that were built were sold to Russians.

There are dead and injured in Odesa after Russian terrorists attacked the city.

Odesa today.

39 people injured, four of them children (7, 10, 11 and 11 years old).

Three adults in critical condition are in hospital.

8 people killed.

Civilian infrastructure damaged and destroyed.

So painful.

A maritime traffic C-Lion1 cable running from Santahamina, Finland to Rostock, Germany, has been cut - IS media.

Data traffic connections in the submarine cable are down.

It is unclear whether the damage is the result of sabotage or, say, weather conditions.The cable runs near the Nord Stream.

Attention, United States!

"There will be nothing left of America. There will be no Biden, no Trump!" - Russian MP Gurulev threatens the US in response to permission to hit Russia's territory with U.S. long-range ATACMS missiles.

Russia is scared. Good.

President Zelenskyy has visited Pokrovsk area.

It is one of the most active areas on the frontlines.

In the video, a Russian woman complains that food has become very expensive in Russia

According to Russian media, food prices rose by 50-100% over the year. According to the Russian Central Bank, annual inflation amounted to 8.4% officially, but experts predict that things will get worse next year.

"We must not allow ourselves to be unsettled by Russian statements. Putin is deliberately playing on our fears in Europe. And we must make it clear that we are stronger than fear. We have a European force for peace." - German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock

Russian propagandists continue their mockery of Biden, Trump, and Melania Trump.

It's a well-known fact that Russian propagandists never speak their minds but work on the instructions of the Kremlin.

Hell yeah!
