maxgugliotti.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Being laughed at by oligarchs partying on yachts and flying around on private jets as they gleefully destroy the lives of the working class should be filling everyday Americans with rage.

Louder for those in the back. trump is a con man. A laughably bad one if one knows what “good” looks like. He’s ghetto corner used car salesman third string. All he stands for is himself. He started by playing a role that conservatives identify with because he told them what they wanted to hear.

I was already afraid. We have all been calling out the self-evident rightwing plot - a de facto coup - to seize and consolidate power by any means within their grasp, following the nihilistic counsel of Cohn and the Nazi playbook. Many of us remember the powder keg cities of the 60s. On the cusp.

Watching some of what's going on in LA right now... I can't stress how valuable a good pair of boots one can run and fight in are. Pants... wear them. Seriously. Long sleeve shirt is a good idea too. Flip flops and shorts might be comfortable... until you find yourself trapped in the fray.

Exactly their intent and I’m sure if one were to research you’d find this plan in Project 2025. They need the uneducated in order to win gain or retain power. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows better than to elect these 🤡🤡's

I really do wonder what would happen in court if someone defended themselves against masked men who failed to produce ID or an arrest warrant. As far as I'm concerned, that would be a legitimate case of self-defense.

Classic cell phone interception with Dirtboxes or their modern equivalent plus visual intell. If anyone intending to participate with such street protests, protect your identity. Faraday bag your phone. Don't drive to area (lic plate readers). Wear face mask (facial recognition)

The thing that "makes sense" is the rather obvious recognition that their entire worldview is predicated on lies. Like, they simply cannot play in a world made of verifiable facts, so they muddy the waters so much that people get tired and just PICK A SIDE and stop thinking.

This is absolute baby shit. There is no genuis puppetmaster behind the scenes. There are like 100 dumb assholes chasing different variations of "fuck you, got mine" who hate each other. The disease in our system is that it allows moron scum to rise. That doesn't make those dickheads secretly smart.

If you're doubting yourself, just remember that all it takes to get ahead is a trust fund and the right kind of personality disorder.

This is such bullshit. Gun manufacturers need protection apparently but other very lethal yet non-weapon (I like vehicles) industries don't qualify.🙄

"High Agency Males" These right wing goofs are some the weakest most ridiculous fools I've seen in a long life... one where I've known some exceptionally hard people... none of whom bragged about it. They didn't have to. They would hilarious if they weren't such complete dicks.

This guy’s a no-bullshit, bareknuckle brawler. I’d like to see him and Waltz go far. We need the brawler more now, but Waltz reminds me of a few good CSMs I had who could instantly unfuck anything (which is a different skillset).
