I deserve the Nobel Pulitzer.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Republicans are so accustomed to whining from the minority that when they’re actually in the majority and still can’t manage to pass a bill, their automatic reflex is to blame the Democrats. Republicans wanted the majority. They got it. Learn how to fucking govern.

It hasn’t received a lot of attention, but a federal court this week chucked 40 years of rules governing America’s most controversial environmental law into the wood chipper. Here’s what happens next: heatmap.news/climate/nepa...

@jmartkc.bsky.social Hi 👋

100%. Obviously block anyone you like—but there are bad actors out there creating huge blocklists they try to sell you on by pretending at great confidence about people they know nothing about. Study those lists and you realize they're full of good follows. Those lists are my only Bluesky complaint.

Another useful tip.

Bluesky has the edge where X once dominated: news and live events.

I joined Bluesky because people on Threads told me I should check it out 👍

So, a post is called a #skeet?

Just joined my first #starterpack! 📚
