"The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence.” And, increasingly, attempts “to dictate the subject.” - @pkrugman.bsky.social

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

"One of my teachers at Columbia was Joseph Brodsky...and he said 'look,' he said, 'you Americans, you are so naïve. You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language.'"

From cozying up to dictators like Putin to switching positions and parties as soon as it's politically advantageous, the only quality of Tulsi Gabbard's you can rely on is her selfish thirst for power. That makes her a very dangerous pick to lead our national intelligence.

“The report also says that Hegseth, who was married at the time, and other members of his management team sexually pursued the organization’s female staffers, whom they divided into two groups—the ‘party girls’ and the ‘not party girls.’”

To the wonderful Bluesky family, please do consider reporting accounts that are trying to turn this ( aka the good place ) into the cesspool that is the other place has become. I just encountered one, and promptly reported and blocked.

243 days ago, Israeli forces attacked World Central Kitchen vehicles, killing 7 aid workers from across the world — including the US. The US did not respond with policy change. Today, Israeli forces reportedly attacked another car carrying WCK workers, killing at least 5 people.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
