Agreed. Far too much confidence that “the truth will out.” The sense that the moral arc will bend on its own rather than need active and willful bending.

Beautiful! I would love it if a landscape photography feed became a thing on Bluesky. There are some Nature Photography feeds but it is mostly birds (which is fine), but for me I love landscapes most of all. If it exists, please point me to it.

“Hoodwinked” is an awfully quaint and toothless word choice for serious malfeasance with potentially dire consequences.

“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?” The results were hilarious. Trans: 21% Muslim: 27% Jewish: 30% Black: 41% Live in NYC: 30% Gay or lesbian: 30% The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.” www.thebulwark.com/p/americans-...

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

Agreed, and I have been thinking (along these lines) it will be important to memorialize what ACTUALLY HAPPENED and reinforce the actual facts to counteract their inevitable alternate history. Consistently. Jan 6 as the perfect example.

We should be patient. No reason to block in advance. Let them earn it! If they prove themselves to be worthy of a block so be it. It’s just a feed. I would say follow easily, block with reason.

He should. They should. But they won’t. The Democratic Party and much of the media has already implicitly—even explicitly—capitulated to fascism by refusing to make the hard choice to do everything within their power to oppose it. It’s cowardice and normopathy and sanewashing up and down the line.

This has also been a decades long goal of the right wing’s culture war, to align working class culture with right wing culture. It has worked.
