In episode 184, I talked about feeling the feelings - why it's so terrifying, what is actually good about it, and the things I'm doing to try to feel the scariest feelings at all. Here I talk about some of the unexpectedly positive things about allowing myself to feel stuff deeply #FeelingTheFeelings

"Mary Maxwell Gates, Bill’s mother, was appointed to the board of directors of the national United Way in 1980. And guess who else was in that committee? The late John Opel, president, chairman, and CEO of…, you guessed it, IBM, between 1974 and 1986."

The fediverse is often full of drama with admins falling out with each other and defederations, and threats and tears.
Now, with the public spat between the Twitter admin and the TruthSocial admin, the rest of the world gets to enjoy a similar spectacle!
They can't defederate of course, because Twitter never became open enough and TruthSocial was already defederated by everyone as soon as it existed.
Only on Fedi can you get the full experience of a public spat and defederation, because only on Fedi can the admins really at-mention and and directly reply and take the final dramatic action of a flouce-defederation.
Trump fans who are Twitter users can't port their followers over to TruthSocial, and Turther Musk fans can't just migrate their account to Twitter.
They're stuck.
So you see Fedi really is the best when it comes to massive public spats between admins and this current admin-drama is only getting more attention because it's between two of the worst people in the world.

Unbelievable how he's managed to avoid jailtime breaking federal/state laws while City Council allows him to continue to break _their_laws as well.

I don't give a flying fuck about 2 rich people with huge egos measuring their cocks in their controlled social networks. Also, I don't live in countries seriously affected by them so... I am going to play some videogames before going to bed. And I care more about this than about cocks fighting. Unless it is real cock fights. That might be cool to see.
