So, here I am on a Sunday afternoon wondering what I should write. This is not an uncommon occurence or situation for me but I love it. I enjoy wrestling with the issues of our time and working it out in the writing process. I bring this up by way of mentioning that Top Comments could use some more writers. You don’t need to commit to a specific day every week like I have. You could pitch in here and there as you wish. TC is not a difficult series to write. Hell, sometimes I just post YouTube videos and call it a day.
And now, a word from our sponsors ...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
And now for the part where I talk about things and stuff. See, it’s not hard. You just string some words together. The boilerplate that you see every day is simply cut and paste. The Tops are generated by some really smart people. That’s copy and paste as well. Anyone Kossack can do it. If you enjoy Top Comments, please consider helping out with the publishing. Even one or two days a month help keep this series going. It is, after all, a celebration of our community.
Hell, you can just use a Top Comments to rant and rave about the state of the Republic these days. Trump is an endless source of material. You could post funny turtle pictures of McConnell or make fun of Paul Ryan’s boyish appearance. Pretty much the only thing you can’t do is … well, there isn’t really anything you can’t do. And it usually only takes me an hour to put together a diary.
And there it is. Just a few paragraphs and I’m done. Total time to completion? 24 minutes. I just have to come back around 9:00 EST to get the submitted comments and copy and paste the Tops. That should take another 20 minutes. It’s just that easy.
And while I’m at it, I would love to see some more submissions from you guys as well. There are a ton of funny and, like, really smart people on this site. Celebrate our unique community and share their comments with us. Please.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
