"I stopped paying even a modicum of attention 8 years ago and now I don't understand what's happening" is not a reasonable complaint

Who here is inclined to agree?

Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space

Just a reminder: The Attorney General is not supposed to be the President's lawyer; they're the people's lawyer.

Harris made the fascism case against Trump, citing Milley and Mattis and with help from Liz Cheney, and if anything it hurt her in the polls. It just doesn’t land as a real concern to many voters. (To be clear, it’s a real concern to me!)

Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen

I love that when I say "the good place" and "the bad place" everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Here are some nice mushrooms

Jesus was at Walgreen’s again.

I watched every season of Law & Order SVU and I took the LSAT. I am prepared to lead the Department of Justice 🫡

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Yes, Joe Biden has approved the use of long range missiles and land mines, but until he approves the hacking of Russian radio and playing Lara Trump songs on a loop, I'm not sure he's serious about helping Ukraine win this war.

Democrats did fraud but accidentally forgot to use it for Kamala Harris.

A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas. It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter. fox59.com/news/indycri...

They spent the past few weeks telling us to leave Twitter, and then they come here to harass? Fuck that bullshit. Kick these annoying asshats all the way off the platform, PLEASE. Nobody has time for that shit. Crawl back under your rock.

Oh

This is very cool. Thank you to everyone who made this a reality. We love it here and we are here to stay. Bluesky is the future!

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Within a week, there is going to be an opinion piece: "I tried to break into the BlueSky echo chamber, but the so-called tolerant left would not talk to me." Please register your predictions of author and venue.

chicago so desperately needs a media reporter again... reporters are owed a comprehensive look at their industry and readers are owed a truly transparent view of the companies and nonprofits trying to serve them

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

no doubt in mind that the mass deportations are happening. the only question is how far they are going to go. and here’s the thing, i think a LOT of people — and especially the savvy journalists — will be shocked when he goes through with it, and when the round ups and deaths start.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

When someone says “the president is not a dictator” and you say “maybe soon though” I worry that that’s a akin to “obeying in advance.” No. The president of the US is not a dictator. Even if he would like to be, we will not allow it.

How much you wanna bet that California counties that voted for Trump - and this for deportations of labor ‘undercutting’ legal workers - also vote to keep enslaving prisoners and paying them a pittance

Sent to me by my sister from the internet.

Folks, look at the color of this man's face. It's more orange than his orange garbage man outfit. What are we doing here.

I’m really only half joking when I say this shit is like how you give an old dog everything he’s ever wanted to do in life the day before you take him to the vet one last time

Gentle request - it would be super helpful if everyone could please read whole threads before responding to just the first post of them! It's a little thing we can all do to make social media work more smoothly. Also reading linked articles before just responding to the title. Thank you! Cat tax:

This face.

hey guys check out my new gaming pc

EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THESE LITTLE GUYS

People always point out that taxing the super-wealthy wouldn't actually raise all that much revenue, but it's becoming clearer that the primary benefit is just taking away their money.

It's wild seeing creators popping off now that they are posting on Blue Sky. It's very clear that this platform is better for engagement. You love to see it.

It always sucks when you’re working on something you’re really proud of but you don’t want to say anything yet… I got something special for 2025, that’s all I’m saying :^)

bluesky is weird because it’s totally voided anyone’s feeling of importance I don’t see big artists, game devs, or producers as intimidating anymore we’re all just in this together lol
