Keep in mind the Republicans are evolving beyond Trump, and this New Right is a real threat.

Case in point, that story earlier this week about Republican thinks tanks funding anti-education, anti-trans, anti-race mixing efforts, which stokes their culture war in ways that have and will continue to provoke real people to act in violent and harmful ways.

Was the cup holding the canned air a failed print you just used as a shallow cup?

I’ll try to keep this short. I eat out too much.

On the east side: kinda tropical, de nada and Sawyer are good laid back food spots. Justines is a great French spot with a setting you can’t beat. Bufalina has excellent pizza and wine… Their pasta is delicious but portions don’t justify the cost. Cenote is my go to breakfast spot. If you like divey spots, the Grackle, Violet Crown and the liberty are all great. I think East Side King still has a truck at Liberty too. Grackle just got Asador tacos… That mushroom taco is absurd.

South Congress area: June’s is a nice little wine bar. Joanne’s and the Austin motel have good food and a fun pool.

Near the lake (not sure what to call these areas): carpenters hall has a good menu and fun pool parties. Pecan Square is a great date night/celebration spot… don’t sleep on the crab salad. Fresas is casual Mexican that’s elevated without ruining the simple beauty of Mexican cuisine.

I can keep going, but that’s probably more than enough. Last suggestion I’ll give, if you like live music if any kind, go to Sahara Lounge on a Saturday night. The house band is unbeatable.

Nothing to add, but this is a wildly distopian thread.

But I need sunscreen or my stupid Irish skin will turn into a big lump of cancer anyway.

I’m in Austin Texas. We got this guy around mid spring and it was bright pink. We’ve tried full direct light, bright indirect, half and half, putting it indoor and outdoor. It’s pretty much all green now. How do we get that pink back?

Since I’ve begun “trying” in the kitchen, I eat way healthier than ever before, and most of my meals are better and cheaper than restaurant equivalents.

Anyone have the backstory here?

Why be frustrated? This person just saved you a boring evening.

I think we got to a point in corporate comms where everyone decided we have to post at a regular interval, even when there’s nothing interesting happening.

This feela like a good time to revaluate what we do on social. I have thought about standing up an instance, but realistically we have our internal Teams that employees use… So they wouldn’t use it, and I can’t imagine myself subscribing to a bunch of company instances, so it seems like it’s an effort for nobody.

That said we often put on community events like hackathons. I think situations like that are perfect for posting on our cyber security servers.

Less white noise trash is better.

So… I’m using Connect on Android, but I just learned I can swipe here too, so thanks.

I was recently asked by my employer if we should move our social media efforts to fediverse and my recommendation was that this community it’s both too small and also would be hostile (rightly) to corporate empty posting.

As soon as threads has a web interface that’s usable I will be starting up there…

You put your recycling in the blue can, compost in the green can and your corporate garbage on Meta.

Weird. Have you updated

Edit- I’m noticing they don’t always show, and I’m not sure what the consistency is.

It would be cool if apps made showing avatars an option. I could see why someone wouldn’t like them… I just remember pictures easier than names because I’m a little special, so they work for me.

That said, I’m not saying we should go crazy and do table breaking SA red text avatars.

I keep getting errors when trying to visit new communities. Definitely growing pains, but its much more full featured than the rest, from what I’ve seen.

I’m currently wait listed. Is there a way to get Boost now?

I’m using the web ui now. I think it hits a good balance of not too big, not too small.

Only if they can power up on slurp juice.

Not everyone has one. They’re emoji sized by people’s names. It may also be instance based… I’m not sure how it all works yet.

SA vs Fark vs Ebaums all over again. Can’t wait.
