Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Why so little hockey talk on Bluesky?

"I just thought we had too many passengers throughout the rest of the game." Auston Matthews reflects on what went wrong in Game 7.

Before you agree to marry someone you must and I mean MUST: - see where they keep their thermostat - find out when they like to leave parties - watch them load a dishwasher - see the state of their PC desktop - hear the voices they do for their pets

Your Mother’s Day weekend reminder that the so-called “party of family values” has historically blocked: -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

I know this exercise is exhausting but truly, the world would stop for DAYS if this kind of thing happened under a Dem administration. It would be the Only Discourse.

What Chels said. I am tired of pretending that there’s an inch of respect I have for people who use genAI bots to produce work. Yes, even ‘just to get an idea’. Yes, even ‘only for first drafts’. I will never trust your judgment or your work product. And yes, I can tell when you use it.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social there’s a spelling mistake in your Indy letter - “resisdent”

Jesus Christ. You can't say "It's contested." You can't say "Agree to disagree." You can't say "Let's move on." You have to say, "Mr. President, that is a lie." If it means he never talks to you again or yells at your boss, THAT'S FINE. What have you lost? More "opportunities" like this one?

the entire democratic party needs to bury every clinton consultant at sea and just go pritzker mode. how much bigger a softball can they give you than a suit saying “we want your entire lineage in factories forever”

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

The handle for this account shifted to @innerviews.org Posts/followers have auto-transitioned, but web links to the old handle hit a dead end (you need to fix that @bsky.app). Also, here are the other Innerviews social accounts. Yes, the platform formerly known as "T" is dead to me.
