(32,356 posts)I guess that's why I keep coming back. All the witty, thought-provoking posts, funny comments, inspiring stories. Fresh and funny jokes nearly every day.
We share our happiness with each other, and our sad days too. It's all good.
Thank you all!

(18,903 posts)of prolific posters, and very many "part-time" posters, and for each and every one, I am eternally grateful.
It is, by far, the best place for "non-fake news" I've ever found.
My hat is off to each and every person on DU.

(46,016 posts)I get all my news sources here. I'd never read a newspaper outside the country if I weren't here. Not because I wouldn't want to, but I wouldn't have the time to seek out articles. And I totally depend on the Streaming Videos, Netflix, etc. group to get ideas what to watch. The recommendations are always excellent. And if you cook or bake, you must have the Cooking and Baking group. Whenever I have a computer hardware or software problem someone in the computer help group saves me. I only recently discovered the Crafts group.

Thanks for stating what we all feel, whether we think about it or not.
DU rocks!
Cheers to the admins, the news hunters, the informed, the opinionated, the seldom posters, the jerks and yes, even the sad little trolls under the bridge. Well, maybe not them.
thanks, Stuart G for the reminder!

(35,434 posts)I hesitate to post this because I know I'll have left out someone who does a super fantastic job. Help me out here and add who I may have forgotten:
First-hand reporting, like the recent post DFW wrote about his Ukrainian friend who told about the failure of Russian warplanes to eject the pilots. Other posters told of first-hand experience with Covid.
Rhiannon for posting media clips from Colbert and other comedians, plus important segments from shows that we might have missed.
SCE, catbyte, and tblue provide us with cat and other animal humor.
Halloween scary links and other light stuff from Mr. Scorpio in The Lounge.
In gardening, NewHendoLib, our resident author and celebrity grower.
TexasTowelie brings us state news.
Irisblue starts our morning breakfast thread.
elleng and California Peggy help us keep track of the moon phases with their photography.
hatrack brings us environmental stories.
Tweet of the Day/Week/Late Night by randysf, applegrove, and others.
judym for anthropology and science articles. nnadir for science journal articles.
bobnicewander keeps us apprised on astrological events
Add to the list if you can!
