I have a real job but that hasn't stopped me, tbh. Also I get the majority of my news and commentary from ilx, the denizens of this remit mostly supplying the info and angles that I need to understand things. Other news outlets are largely incomprehensible and/or don't really give the inside scoop commentary that I appreciate.
ilx feels less like a "freewheeling" space where anything could happen, these days, but half of what could happen back then was going to be mean, sexist, racist, or some variation on all three. There were major shakeups among nb/nyc ilxors back in the day incl v srs interpersonal issues. It wasn't all kittens and bike polo.
― Conic section rebellion 44 (in orbit), Monday, 26 February 2018 21:22 (six years ago) link
The bike polo aspect was so overrated imo

it occurred to me once that the only people who never bug me on facebook are past and present ilx people. like, ever. plus, i never have to explain myself to ilxors there when i post something. which is another reason why i still come here. that and the ocd.

I sort of miss when jon used to break the nb so that it would rain neon unicorns or w/e across the screen, I have to admit.

It was. I miss putting shoes on my head tho I don't know that anyone will remember that.
I think there is a regional slack room for one group and then I know about one entirely separate "secret" board but I am not a part of either.
