You have to feel for the rest of the world. They were finally at a point where they could tell Americans that everything wasn't about us and then we get the Pope.

Can we use this strategy to get around councilmanic prerogative?

I'll say it over and over but as a full time on site person, full time WFH people are almost unequivocally less productive! They basically do no work on Mondays or Fridays.

The most direct hit Zoomers ever had on Millennials was that Portland band meme but I think they would actually enjoy it if they allowed themselves to have fun.

It's amazing how unbelievably lame conservatives were in 2008

Diocletian trying to stabilize the empire's economy after the end of the crisis of the third century be like:

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

Just had a "monitor issue" ticket that turned out to actually be the monitors. I'm honestly speechless.

The Eagles parade being on Valentine's Day is going to put some relationships to the test.

Yeah sex is great but have you ever been incredibly cocky about sports and then been entirely vindicated?

Kendrick Lamar just ran more yards than the Chiefs.

The left missed the threat posed by Trump in early 2016 because it was focused on attacking liberalism. After the election it spent a lot of time normalizing Trump (“just a usual Republican”) or arguing that at least he wasn’t Bush. It was contemptuous of “wine moms” and their “hashtag resistance.”

They’re obviously too weak to matter these days and the overwhelming threat is the far right, but the online cool kid left is still awful and should not be resuscitated. Partly culpable for the current crisis. The way forward is a recommitment to a genuine fighting liberalism

I'm deeply torn between "this Administration will cause lasting harm to our institutions through completely ill-considered executive actions and erratic policies" and "everything this administration does is so embarrassingly amateurish they're going to have every single EO rescinded by courts"

They forgot to grease the historical markers!

Can Republicans be normal ever lmao

I think my problem with blue sky, as I try it yet again, is that the people who have jumped ship are basically ALL politics people. I need my random video game or niche hobby people to show up over here before it can really emulate what was lost from twitter.

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer

Matt Gaetz has a lot of experience with retainers.

The thing is that this is a take that WAS true in the 80's and 90's when cheap plastic replaced metal and glass in a large amount of consumer goods. However now that has already been the case for decades we have had nothing but constant improvement since then. People's priors have not updated.

Getting haters to try and dunk on me on another app is definitely an achievement.

It's funny that people think the way to get people to stay on twitter instead of coming here is to insult them until they leave when the place they are coming from... Is Twitter.

Gladiator 2 was not good!

Looking for my wrapped and this is the only thing that shows up. Is anyone else having this problem?

I hope all the people up in arms about potential tax breaks for the arena are equally enraged about a private company potentially getting tens of millions in uncompensated city land.

For all the fighting people do on the internet, I feel like when push comes to shove leftists are ready to implicitly admit that their stuff doesn’t work — Bernie caught fire in 2016 due to a weird confluence of circumstances but there’s no path forward.

Walking home in Ithaca after a bar and having flashbacks to when I would walk from West Hill to Cayuga Heights and back at night while listening to my iPod in high school. I had the lamest teenaged rebellion.

Somehow, history returned.

Idk, as someone who has to go on site but works with people who WFH all the time, there is definitely a drop in productivity of people when they are WFH compared to on site. I can never get any work done on Mondays and Fridays because nobody is actually working those days.

They're skeets because when you do it all your characters land on my face

If other government agencies join Bluesky and become your favorite agency just remember who was here first and who has two eagles in their logo.

Seems like this might be a bit of an overreaction.

I agree completely and I think the impetus to retreat from challenging environments is part of the reason we are in the place we are in.

This is incredibly important. People are fleeing blue states with good services and high costs for red states with bad services and low costs. People care a lot more about costs (COL and Taxes) than they do about getting the best social services and Dems need to address that or lose the long game.

One reason it’s been astonishingly difficult to convince many Americans that conditions in the US aren’t a living nightmare is that THE LEFT IS EQUALLY COMMITTED AS THE RIGHT IN SPREADING THAT IDEA. The two sides are basically collaborators in that project

This is, frankly, a HUGE issue. To a great degree, Biden governed with the progressive left's domestic policy agenda. Don't believe me. Ask Bernie. Or ask him before today. Biden locked arms w House progressives especially and passed an amazingly ambitious agenda given the size of the ...

This is like... so wrong lol.

I do have to say it's kinda nice to pop in here and see a whole bunch of people I haven't seen in a while.

amazing that leftists criticize liberals for their naivete about politics and yet there is a 21 gun salute of monocles popping out whenever anyone suggests that concealing one's true beliefs might be to their advantage

I hate it when scammers trick me into getting paid $500,000 by a hostile foreign government. Aw jeez, not again

Oh you should be able to read more tweets? Well why don't you strap on your tweet helmet, get fired out of a tweet cannon into tweet land where the tweets grow on tweeties?

I think this might actually be the end. I can't think of something worse than limiting the amount you can use the site.
