elon musk might be one of the most paranoid weirdos out there

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Gov JB Pritzker (R-IL) signs order prohibiting Jan 6 rioters from state employment in Illinois: “I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State”

Prediction: Trump causes the biggest labor uprisings in the federal government cause it’s easier to organize when you’re in the same place and not remote

Finding out about this age gap ruined my day.

Take back your attention.

My message to Zuck

DEVELOPING: Plane which crashed in Kazakhstan suffered external damage, according to experts. The pilots sent a distress call while Russian air defenses were responding to a Ukrainian drone attack. Kazakh deputy PM, asked whether the plane was shot down: "I dare not make premature statements"

this is funny as-is but imo way funnier when you see his lawyer

Elf on a Shelf isn’t even 20 years old. Slam dunk that freak into the nearest toilet. Enough

Hold on, I see it now.

There is no point in trolling if no one sees it. User control over our feeds is great. Including the ability to fully hide from everyone, unwanted replies, and block those people. If i hide a reply from a troll from everyone, no one sees it. Moderation is great Really helps engagement

The thing about the “Biden crime family” is that Trump just appointed Charles Kushner, a literal felon and the father of Trump’s son-in-law, as ambassador to France.

what up bluesky, where my radical leftist lunatics at

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Donkey Kong, the ape from the video game, has died

The billionaire bastards really monopolized social media so much they weren’t letting us post links to our own fucking blogs without getting fucking throttled to hell and gone. They can all burn in hell.

Thanksgiving is coming #StandByYourPan

When all the teehee corporate brands get here I can’t wait to NOT fucking follow them.

Any time you see someone saying they like X better than here, you have to ask yourself why they would rather hang out in a place where words like BlueSky and cisgender are banned, but calling someone the n-word isn't.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Am I crazy or do they still seem pretty mad for a group of people who just got literally everything they were asking for?

“This is far and away the most serious telecom hack in our history”

Since Nancy Mace is in the news, I'll post the one thing that was enjoyable about my time on Twitter:

JUST IN: Former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz is withdrawing from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general. cnn.it/4fEA1IY

what is the point of follow back schemes. it's not 2012, nobody is impressed by your 20000 followers when you have a 1-1 follower/following ratio. what are you even trying to use this site for

SERIOUS QUESTION: why is chuck schumer going to lead the senate democrats again

Big story from @wired.com overnight on data brokers selling location information about US military bases overseas. btw @wyden.senate.gov has been warning about this for A WHILE NOW

This is an interesting detail about how domain names work The .gov domain name is controlled by the US government, which means that if you see a user with a ".gov" handle, you can be pretty sure they're real

This app can change the world

Stop following these shit ass accounts

Bluesky feels like I took a Time Machine back to 2009 when I was still like “Hey this social media thing is going to make the world a better place.”

He could’ve done it! And then just didn’t!

this highly resonates with me lol

Word to the wise: all your fav brand building influencers are behind the scenes with ‘starter packs’ making sure they can dominate this site like they did twitter. They will make money, and pretend to make a difference and help Dems lose more elections. Social media is not your friend. Trust me🙏

Bluesky right now feels a little like all the Whos gathering to sing after the Grinch stole their floofloovers and jingtinglers.

the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes

just saying, i called it

This time around, the Kennedys are assassinating us.

in early 2000s microsoft ceo said open source was “cancer”. now open source is common sense i wonder how long it’ll take for open social to become common sense

What did I say just a few days ago?

The thing that really differentiates Bluesky is that it doesn’t feel like it was designed by a bunch of people who will lose their jobs if I spend a little less time on Bluesky.

Presidents can’t create departments so Elon’s new thing is technically going to be an Office of Government Efficiency. Very sorry to say this, but…OOGE.

More than 700,000 people joined Bluesky last week, taking the total to 14.5 million - The Verge

I regret to inform me that operation go to bed did not work.

Here is my one pithy post: Approximately half of the country's population is looking at the same man yet seeing and hearing completely different things. That should freak you out no matter how you slice it.
