Say something nice about another ILXor

I met Paul Eater at my sole NYCFAP many years ago and he stuck me as a v sweet dude. I also met Yancey the same night!

I think you know the matchless IO under their sinister name, PF.

in orbit and tracer are both great and have been very kind to me, which i appreciate :)

lol yes, PF will probably remember me better as Pythy.

Thank you, J Redd, that's nice of you to say even after I ignored or forgot so many photoshop requests. I think I became a much better ILXor years ago thanks to DJP, who once advised the young Rock Hardy: "Shut the fuck up." That may sound facetious, but it was the best advice I could have gotten, delivered in the best way. I thought about it all day long while reading the US Politics thread and not posting to it. Very few of the thoughts in my head need to come out.

I'm also in the In Orbit and Tracer Hand fan groups.

The politics thread, as much as I roll eyes at doomposting, keeps me sane.

I was thinking this yesterday, hard to imagine this last year especially w/o its shelter

It does for me as well, I just don't have anything to add to it. xp

the lanyard person is now on admin leave, per his company. lol

bummer, he was always good on the "Confusing Pop Anthropology Plot Point from "Gilligan's Island" and elsewhere" thread

lol i was wondering why this didn't post in the appropriate therad

lol Hadrian

I may be in freefall atm but y'all are my parachute, deploying regularly to slow my descent, luv u all

Politics threads and is ilk one hand can be, um, triggering but on the other functions as a much better aggregator w/ usually trenchant commentary on what the heck is going on. Beats binge watching certain networks for one thing

Its ilk on the one hand

Ugh, I hate it when I get ilk on my hand

it’s spelled “ilx” afaik

That reminds me, even if I only watch those from afar, I actually came to appreciate the periodic "Good morning!"s during dark years.

I do too, Alfred. Especially when you do it at really hilarious times, like yesterday at 4:30 pm lol

Last night’s at 11:59 pm was the peak imo.

Timing is, etc.

Y'all will have noticed since November 2018 I dropped a letter from the greeting.

Indeed.

I want to say big ups to pomenitul. thanks for the webmail, requested that from my former institution because i'm technically "faculty" until late May.

My pleasure. :)

though it’s evidently done nothing for my typos

literally during busier days in past years I used to scroll this thread only cos I would just look at the Tweets to get a summary of what happened that day until I could get home and browse on my own longer.

even now I find it easier to cull recent developments in this thread than on the internet solo

This thread or the other one?

I also use the politics thread for the same purpose, Neanderthal. I don't really use Twitter, and I don't really use Facebook, so other than my begrudging subscription to the Times and reading of more lefty websites, the ILX politics thread is it.

Facebook is great for politics if you want to learn only misinfo, urban myths and outdated info. so it's better you don't!

Fair enough, but I also it to keep track of certain musicans, mostly jazz, as well as some beloved ex-IlXors and certain other people one degree of separation from this borad who were never on it.

oh yea i use it for connecting w/ my friends. prior to yesterday, I hadn't posted anything political on it in over a month.

well ok "anything" is a stretch and part of that is cos I was banned

I use the Newsfeed Eradicator Chrome extension. I post music and weird philosophy stuff and poetry stuff, and that's it. I hardly ever engage in any commenting, etc.

nice to see goole around ilx! he is cool on ilx and irl

i can confirm that goole is cool

2 cools for goole

hip hip! cool!
hip hip! goole!

I am v appreciative of table atm.

I met Paul Eater at least once or twice - probably over 15 years ago.

In Orbit was on Sinister and called Pythy? I'm afraid I don't think I remember a Pythy.

emily <3 thank you. you're a gem, too.

I have been appreciating the calm, reflective posts of raymond cummings on heavy topics for some months now

<3 raymond and also they post some sick links

raymond quietly rules

cosign

i almost said "quietly" too, and i'm not sure why! but one of my first thoughts was "damn, i loved that defector piece Raymond quietly dropped a couple days ago"

Ray is awesome.
