Yup… crashing out so I took a nap and then watched a delightful lady make silk hair ornaments from silk worms on Xiaohongshu for an hour and came back to a whole different level of WTF.

Playing I Hate It Here on repeat again… 🤘🏻🫶🏻

To quote Bob Seger, "Still, here we are."

oceanalizard.bsky.social•56 days ago

Agreed.

quicklycrocodile.bsky.social•56 days ago

Everytime I take a nap it’s a whole new world 😭

other-jane.bsky.social•56 days ago

I thought it was just me. Thanks. Very validating.

drkaym.bsky.social•56 days ago

5 hours? Sounds too long!

upfishing.bsky.social•56 days ago

Ha! Just wait until you go 24hrs..

smedleybutlerghost.bsky.social•56 days ago

so many people love that, call it "doing something".

lindabeyond.bsky.social•56 days ago

Yes, exactly. Good grief. And if by place, you mean country, same.

dstutz13.bsky.social•56 days ago

I’m not going to be able to make it four years

berkemeyerjj.bsky.social•56 days ago

And all of this has been domestic news. Wait until the first international problem hits. I can't wait until North Korea starts rattling their sabre..

dpbahm.bsky.social•56 days ago

You and me both.

karenswilcoxphd.bsky.social•56 days ago

it is all too fast and furious

democracydiana.bsky.social•56 days ago

Right. I am sure they are working on that.

monniejo.bsky.social•56 days ago

I miss waking up to normal headlines.

kazuwacky.bsky.social•56 days ago

I live in the UK and we used to get those awful early morning tweets during work hours, slowly watching the US react in stages.

That was better, now *I* wake up to find he's done 20 insane and evil things before breakfast.

My heart is with you

brianwernham.bsky.social•56 days ago

I always tried to put context on my posts so that somebody seeing a topic will understand

Especially I realise that there will be people who (and it's not their fault) don't live in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 or are too young and won't know Roy Hull and Emu were, for example

ofendlessstars.bsky.social•56 days ago

The good news is, if you’re gone for another five hours, you come back to posts saying “x, y, and z were just panicked misinformation, stop sharing it!” and then you no longer need the context

I hear you loud and clear..

drumnutt.bsky.social•56 days ago

Absolutely

shnattyice.bsky.social•56 days ago

so today when he got in his bull shot at the press conference nor just cut away and said “we will get back if anything important is bing said.” and that felt great they didn’t let it drag on. but yeah it sucks, i think trying to streamline your info and then engaging with community and your

shnattyice.bsky.social•56 days ago

sorry so many errors but it’s been to be bull shit and i was tuned into npr*

it was refreshing

shnattyice.bsky.social•56 days ago

local reps is going to go a long way. and then letting the news sources you trust know that you appreciate them sorting the bs for you. i just can’t give any of him or his buffoons take an ounce of my precious time or energy moving forward.

lancewalton.bsky.social•56 days ago

Yeah. That lime spanner thing really mystified me for a while.

tinavstammy.bsky.social•56 days ago

You can change that by curating who and what you follow.

I have two accounts. I talk about politics, news, etc., on this one, along with a broad assortment of random thoughts. It can sometimes be like that on this one.

On the other, I host movie live postings nightly. It is delectably peaceful.

drwendyrocks.bsky.social•56 days ago

That’s a great idea!

I was more talking about “this place” as in “this timeline in history” rather than “this place” as my BlueSky timeline.

I yearn to live in boring times.

usurpedlettuce.bsky.social•56 days ago

Born to live in boring times...forced to live in interesting times.

tinavstammy.bsky.social•56 days ago

Ooohhh, I gotcha. Well, yeah, in that case. Budge up, I'm sitting next to you. 😄

kbarkume.bsky.social•56 days ago

It was weird earlier this month when I was scrolling through the news and I had a hard time differentiating between whether pictures were of Gaza or Altadena. It’s only gotten crazier it feels like. Hope we find a way to create much more shared joy and grace in this world.

lhaden-climate.bsky.social•56 days ago

150,000,000 to beam up Scotty.

elainecolliar.bsky.social•56 days ago

It’s not this place - it’s that tangerine fickwit that will now have us on a one hour news cycle for the next four years (at least)

drwendyrocks.bsky.social•56 days ago

By “this place” I don’t mean BlueSky specifically. I mean this era of the world.

I want to live in boring times.

elainecolliar.bsky.social•56 days ago

Wouldn’t that be wonderful x

effer13.bsky.social•56 days ago

OMG I thought it was just my geriatric millennialism 😅
