what happened to craigslist?

Yesterday, I came across an article that is a guide to help people get off of Facebook while acknowledging that Facebook has made itself such a utility that it's unreasonable to expect people to be able to leave.

Did Craigslist go somewhere or am I missing something? There's literally still craigslist. It doesn't have to be a wasteland of trolls and haters. We can make Craigslist a flourishing community again and get rid of the trolls. 

Being able to suggest next door it is a good alternative to Facebook is housed privilege. You know good and God damn well unhoused people can't use next door. They need to verify their address with a code that gets mailed to them, and it only works a few neighborhoods wide.

Did you forget Craigslist has everything Facebook has on it, except groups? And you can go have conversations with people on different platforms, like twitter. You can post events on craigslist. You can post jobs on Craigslist. You can look for housing on Craigslist. Like what the fuck is happening with this sick obsession with Facebook to the point where people have been brainwashed into thinking that it's all they can use?

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking...

Racism, Tim Burton, and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

A lot of people have forgotten about this, but a years ago, Tim Burton said that he doesn't cast black people because race has nothing to do with the context of any of his movies.  I think this happened after Beetlejuice 1988. Black people were casted as football players in the afterlife. That makes sense. Most football players are black. We figured out decades later why that's problematic with the Kaepernick situation. Entertainment is all black people are allowed to have so when an entertainer has a political opinion it's easy to tell them to shut up. "Dance, monkey! Dance!" narrative. But with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice having that soul train scene after he said it, the context tells me that black people are allowed to exist in Tim Burton's aesthetic if they are not stereotypical singing dancing caricatures.  A lot of (white) people will argue that Tim Burton isn't racist because he casted a Latina to play Astrid. The problem with that is a lot of Mexicans...

Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp

 A lot of you probably didn't notice, but Facebook Instagram and WhatsApp went down yesterday because the dsn a and AAA records were attacked. I don't have a full understanding of what that means, but given that the domains became available for purchase, I can make context clues based on the information I already have with my short time as a self-proclaimed internet historian. I'm also the type of person that is more interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all, but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the summaries of the Pandora...
