@iwriteok.bsky.social Some thoughts on Zizians- I haven't heard you talk much about Worm and I don't know if you're familiar, but the character Ziz is named for is a highly destructive, future-oriented, manipulator.

BREAKING WAPO: Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin just announced the dismissal of roughly 30 federal prosecutors who worked on Capitol riot cases in the D.C. office over the past four years. Notifications went out at about 5 p.m. on Friday. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

@iwriteok.bsky.social and @kavehmd.bsky.social, Andersen's in Buellton is closed (maybe just for renovation). There appears to be a second location, but I cannot comment on the quality of truck stops in Santa Nella.

@iwriteok.bsky.social Every time you bring up SeaQuest DSV I get unreasonably excited.

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority

Just insane that the left treated the tech industry with increasing hostility just because they undermined organized labor, flouted the regulatory state, and bragged that they were going to get rid of everybody's jobs for a decade straight.

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports: www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

Literally...

@afantano.bsky.social You need to revisit Short n' Sweet. The writing is so fucking clever and layered, you completely missed it. Don't get hung up on whether she's the face or the heel moment to moment, that's all intentional and you got absolutely hoodwinked by it last time.

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now

Absolutely

The Mortal Coil Shuffle a star, a skull, a philosopher, stoned; they make the road by walking and mr fish, the king of rats; he shaped the world by talking which one is me a right-brained man, with a left-hand cigarette not the nova, not the pith, but the power to forget

Giving them an echo chamber is forcing them to hear what they're saying?! It wasn't on my bingo card, but I'm screaming. Bring on the fascist in-fighting. The sooner the better. 🤞😆

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.
