I’ve taken to skimming the transcripts when they have these chuds on instead of listening, so that I am aware what lies and spin I can expect to be repeated elsewhere

Not sure this is the lede I’d go with, just 48 hours after unexpected knocks at the door led to four politically motivated shootings and two deaths.

“Millions of peaceful protesters show up at thousands of anti-Trump demonstrations across the
US, while anti-protest violence in Virginia and San Francisco was reported at 'No Kings' protests.” That was easy to fix. Probably going to follow live updates from an outlet not run by hacks, tho, thanks.

So, like… no military bands? Not even piped in music? This just a procession. Fun.

I’m relatively certain that the last popular reference to miasma in decades is from Inuyasha, and the media should be bringing that up every time RFK opens his mouth

Yes, congressman, WE the people need answers from you and the rest of those folding chairs you call colleagues.

No, unfortunately it’s only the audio version of what they put on the Means app and on YouTube. I usually watch at work (per our collective unstated agreement), but I listen on the pod app when out of town

Can’t wait to be randomly served a slide show of deceased pets from years past while Unbreak My Heart plays as I look to see if we have any mustard

“Breaking” loses all meaning when it is constantly used to hype things that, in fact, don’t exist.

This administration is so sloppy and incompetent. I hope service members are taking note—POTUS and Hegseth don’t care about your well-being in the slightest. Remember that when the first illegal orders come down.

After leaving Twitter, I tried the Pachyderm, Whale, and Mark’s Sewing Circle. All were flawed, and BlueSky isn’t perfect, but it’s better, imo. Instead of complaining, you should work harder to cultivate your desired convos. All this finger-pointing feels like you want others to solve your problem

I see plenty of opinions here that I disagree with including this one). That said, perhaps BlueSky doesn’t need to be a place where this person or you consider to be a bastion of diverse thought. Every other platform is a bubble in its own way. Maybe you should make an attempt at a utopian SM site 🤷🏾♂️

They don’t prioritize free speech above all else, tho. Marketing/promotion as a primary purpose and nudity are all prohibited. I wish these platforms would just be honest and say that they prefer some types of speech over others for financial or ideological reasons.

“The backlash […] is a sign you’re doing something right.” Ok, bud. I don’t bother venting at any of these chodes anymore. They’ve all clearly decided to freebase confirmation bias—just because you aren’t hearing from some of us doesn’t mean we support your views. Those folks yelling are a warning.
