I sincerely appreciate @hankgreen.bsky.social for suggesting the PBS News Hour as a news source. đź’Ż recommend.

I feel like we can post in our echo chamber all we want but it won’t really make a difference until we learn how to communicate effectively with the other side. We have to learn how to be less angry and more persuasive.

Intentional or not, the response matters more. If you accidentally signal something as horrific as a sieg heil, the natural reaction should be to strongly denounce everything that gesture represents. To me, the failure to condemn the meaning is what answers the question.

I learned a while back that one very effective form of propaganda is “information overload”. Flooding people with so much news, noise, and data that they’re too overwhelmed to process it, care, or take action. Confusion and apathy are powerful tools.

Anyone else have a sudden urge to go back and study American History again? What are some good books to read?

Everyone should just relax. It’s really normal to accidentally do the Nazi salute on a political stage then turn around and accidentally do it again so everyone gets a chance to see it.

Who made this 🤣

What are Boy George and Serena Joy doing there?

I don’t even know how to feel anymore. And I don’t meant I’m not sure what I should be feeling, I mean I’m totally numb… Sad. I guess I do feel sad.

This TikTok ban theatre/fuckery has permanently put a bad taste in my mouth. I heard if you still have it on your phone you can access it again “thanks to Trump”. I deleted it.

Listen, you will never hear me complain about moving an event indoors to avoid freezing outdoors. But can you imagine the reaction Biden would have got if he had moved his inauguration indoors?

I’m watching in real time as Americans get radicalized on Rednote, seeing the standard of living in China. I really hope this TikTok ban backfires as spectacularly as it has the potential to.

Feel free to share…it started in 2020.

Ehh never mind. I suddenly lost my appetite.

I’m a writer who has always struggled with sharing my thoughts online. I tried to pinpoint a time when it felt easier and remembered the early days of Twitter—like EARLY, early Twitter. I didn’t fully get it at first. Before everyone had a smartphone, you could text a number to post your tweets…

Just watched Anthony Jeselnik’s comedy special and it was like a curse was lifted and suddenly I remembered what real stand up comedy is.
