Not actually a fan of JD Vance, but absolutely A1 trolling of the prissy lefties on Bluesky. Probably worth following just to get on some blocklists; let the trash take itself out.

I think I agree more with Barak. The key division for me is this -- Motte: Anything that has an effect on society is thereby political, and we should reflect on the social effects of our work. Bailey: Computer science teachers have an obligation to support the social justice issues of the day.

Handy explainer: * "mince" = minced (i.e. ground) meat * "mincemeat" = spiced/candied fruit, traditionally including suet, these days usually vegetarian * "mince pie" = small pie containing mincemeat (not mince)

This is so obviously a sensible rule, but people are tying themselves in knots essentially trying to claim you should need consent to comment on someone else's post. Sorry, but that's not what Bluesky is about. Reminder, again, that Bluesky is TPOT land. The rest of you are just guests here...
