A couple of colleagues suggested I organize my scattered comments of this year's fires in the Northeast into a short (!) narrative. History News Network has graciously published it: www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/the-...

After training to become a wildland firefighter for a fire crew in the Northeast, Richard Schenk saw his first big blaze in 1988 on the other side of the country, in Yellowstone National Park. In the decades since, fires have regularly taken him across the West, and through forests of Canada, too.

Just learned that in Bluesky you can easily access a sophisticated blocking service that keeps out vast amounts of scams, hustles, and hateful vibes, enhancing the “nothing but blue skies” experience. Go to Account, then Moderation, then Advanced Moderation Service.

I officially have more followers on Bluesky than the other site so let me re-introduce myself: I'm Mike Nellis, I'm a former Senior Advisor to Kamala Harris. I've spent two decades working in Democratic politics, fighting MAGA, and I'm not stopping now. Can you RT and follow to help reach others?

This seems like an obvious point, but not really seeing it in all the punditry heralding the death of non-right-wing cable news: Maybe the post-election ratings slump at CNN and MSNBC is just because viewers opposed to Trump are exhausted, deflated, and need a minute?

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content. That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter. Sweet.
