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

It’s tough watching usage drop on Bluesky, but I’d rather stick with a platform that has potential than be a soulless sellout crawling back to the cesspool of X for clout. This place is worth building, not abandoning.

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Trump have all the money, all the power, all of our information. Our only advantage is our numbers. There are more of us than there are of them. One way or another that’s how we’re gonna beat them. Stop buying from them. Stop using their social media. #buylocal #boycottamazon

80 years ago today, April 12th 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt died from a massive stroke. His WH Doctor covered up how ill he was for a year, lying to the public repeatedly as he ran for re-election in 1944. This photo was taken the day before he died, at age 63. He aged terribly in the WH.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

A Separate Peace (1959) by John Knowles is a short YA novel set at an all-boy boarding school. Dry midcentury prose describes a friendship & hints at more with some provocative lines that keep your attention. Knowles offers a glimpse at coming of age in the emotionally restrained 1950s. #booksky

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

Chuck Schumer says "I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will resume working with us. And I talk to them. One of the places is in the gym. When you're on that bike in your shorts, panting away next to a Republican, a lot of the inhibitions come off."

I won’t be shocked when the rest of the world decides the dollar doesn’t need to be the reserve currency anymore. With all the US economic fuckery and Elon/Trump pissing off the world, I think it’s a matter of time before the rest of the world just wipes their hands of us.
