There are several mammoths (instances) peacefully grazing on the same pastures (the social web), but the pastures are also shared with completely different species of animal. Perhaps they are single-user instances as no birds are landing on them; perhaps they are completely different pieces of the social web, such as Peertube or Lemmy.

Or maybe I'm over-thinking it.

At least skiing is more exciting when everyone in the slopes wants you fucking dead, and you have to be kept in an undisclosed location.

Dictators have low life expectancy. The republican shitheads will never be able to truly escape from the hell they have created.

There are good replies here already, but I just want to emphasize the role of bragging. It seems boasting about yourself is quite accepted and sometimes perhaps even expected in the US. In Europe it is not at all, and we tend to react strongly to it.

Whenever I've found Americans to be insufferable they've always been bragging or taking themselves too seriously.

Not all Americans obviously. And I guess a lot of Americans can't stand these people either. But it's still a common American trait that very few Europeans will have patience for. Even our narcissists have learned to pretend to be humble.

In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.

By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.

It seems to me Trumps strategy is always to promise different, often contradictory, things to different people. Anti elite is the red thread.

By tearing the entire country down, I guess a lot of his base feels he is successfully fucking up the elites. They like him because his different and promises real change, and I guess that's what they are getting.

I post on mastodon and bridge to bluesky. That way I can reach anyone there interested in following me, but I personally don't have to bother with the site at all.

As someone trying to reach an audience, it's pretty much perfect. Each to their own obviously.
