I'll reiterate that I don't think the various trolls/bots/chuds here understand how comprehensive the Bluesky block function is here.

Team Selena Gomez,,, Again!! That woman is always so brave to share her truth,,, and so many are quick to bully her.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M. Beautiful.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

If Elon Musk wasn't doing what we all saw him doing, he would come out and clarify. Instead, he's doubled down.

Trump says that he will withhold disaster relief aid from California unless it agrees to change the state’s election laws This is insane. Can you imagine if President Biden had conditioned aid to North Carolina and Florida after Hurricane Helene only if they changed their state abortion laws?
