[Line]-breakforces a hard return, in drafts and in kosmail, without adding the extra vertical space that hitting the ENTER / RETURN key would for starting a new paragraph. Ordinarily, the same effect is do’able just by holding...

Greetings and welcome to a little bit of fuzzy navel gazing. At the end of 2022 I posted a list of links to my diaries for that year and a few thoughts and photos. I thought I'd do something along those lines for 2023 this week as I still don't have my...

2 general replies to some commentators in my diaries. Note 1 I/P: Israel and Palestine. The reason is very simple. Those dying in this decades-old conflict are innocent Israelis and Palestinians these are the people I defend with words. My concerns...

We're progressives. We're supposed to be fighting FOR marginalized communities, not against them. There are better words we can use and better ways we can criticize Republicans than resorting to this. A recent diary about Rep Lauren Boebert seems to...

In one of my early diaries on the war in Ukraine someone in the comments section asked if I would write an article owning up to my predictions if I got them wrong. While the person later commented they meant it as a joke, here I am anyway to examine to...

I have been reading, and writing, Daily Kos diaries, since 2006. Most of the time, everything goes well, and I am happy as a clam. However, sometimes, others adopt habits, in the way they write diaries, and comments, habits I do not like. Of course, I...

Hi folks! Just wanted to let folks know there will be a bit of hiatus in my critical thinking “Bootcamp” series on logical fallacies and cognitive biases. I’ve got a bit of a family health issue that developed last week and is occupying me at the...

Diaries Past
I was speaking with maggiejean recently about writing diaries, and how we started. As with many folks I lurked for years before overcoming nervousness and jumping in. �I wrote� Iran ...

I try to, when I am in a good frame of mind, to write a diary a day. At times though for instance when I am going thru a hospitalization of health scare that I do not write for a week or more. I used to write on a lot more topics than I do now, but...

First of all, I am here at Daily Kos for emotional support. I also get emotional support, by the way, when I look at this website: www.whitehouse.gov/… That is a list of speeches and remarks, by our President. Each title in that website, is the...

Historically From 2014; the first diary I ever did on site statistics. (Replace “HR”: Hide Rate with “Flag” to bring it up to date...) This is not the picture of a site torn apart by factionalism, or omnipresent HR abuse. All things considered, the...

Kudos to Besame for her recent threads encouraging DK users to share the stories behind their usernames! By a curious coincidence, I’ve been compiling some stats on a random sample of DK users that I thought I might share. Methodology — I looked up the...

I wanted to let everyone know that I am still here and I do read the diaries. I want to thank everyone who has helped me out with special thanks to both Ojibwa and dixiecollie. While changing the dressing on my finger I cautiously tried moving it in...

I never wanted to live through historic times. I’ve read too much history to think that works out well for people. The fact is, this pandemic will be a major historical event studied in the future. Like it or not, this is our current reality. Do you...

These new ads just don’t work right. As I scroll a popup stops my scroll and I can’t get it going. If I click on the right upper corner of the ad as it indicates I get asked why I don’t want to see the ad. Sometimes I get taken to another display,...

Links and quotes, that’s the key. For example, if I were writing a diary explaining why we have millions of American voters, who always vote for Republicans, after choosing a title that truly tells the reader what the diary is about, such as, This is...
