Things are pretty early but — Tyler Robinson, the guy arrested for the Charlie Kirk murder, doesn’t scream “extremely online nihilist” either. Going as a meme for Halloween is not weird. Irony culture isn’t always nihilistic. The need to have an immediate answer is a side effect of social media.

Republicans: Let’s just abort adults. Also abortion bad guys.

Whoever he shot deserves it. Look at him

Putting American infrastructure in Ukraine to invest US in Ukraine more isn’t 10D chess. It’s checkers. But if this is your master plan, why are you announcing it before it goes through? Won’t Putin now just throw a tantrum like when Ukraine wanted to join NATO

Elon be like

A study of n=411 found that women broadly saw FWB relationships as transitional to longer term relationships whereas men saw FWB as the end of the relationship itself.

The FBI, Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy have told their staff to ignore Musks emails. Musk threatens staff jobs if they don’t respond. Staff placed in a loyalty battle.

There has to be more we can do but complain about how awful the current government is on social media, no?

Think we can get people behind this?

If you haven’t already, I strongly recommend watching @thesillyserious.bsky.social video on Dark MAGA. With Elon sticking his fingers in every pie, knowing what she has to say has never been more valuable. @mcuban.bsky.social a worthwhile video to review and share. youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?...

One thing I’ve been thinking about. When a lot of Americans who voted for Trump realize the harm his trade war will be for their no. 1 issue, being cost of living, how do those who advocated against that vote best respond? I feel like this could be a key moment of healing or harm.

Viewing further hostility and hatred between the two political factions is exactly the type of resistance authoritarian regimes want you to believe works. Further separating the political world is bad for democracy fundamentally

We tried bludgeoning the right with our perception of their moral failings once before. Why would we think it will work this time?

@knowingbetter.nebula.tv Joined us last week to discuss history of hawaii, Neo slavery, and how the past has shaped the politics and social climate we see today!

I just realized I can post here stuff that would never succeed on Twitter. Research and thought out threads! Buckle up for some data!!!

Meanwhile on Twitter

Wow quite an odyssey Erudite (@notsoerudite.bsky.social). Makes all you've accomplished with bridges this past year all the more impressive! youtu.be/UnmdmHo905A?...

Where were you the last 7 months if you didn’t think the Democratic Party was opening mocking Trump and Elon. It’s too soon to copingly rewrite the past.

Why can’t the left reach men!? Also the left:

Yes condescendingly telling people they are wrong will definitely convince them! 🫠

One of the oddest things that emerges from the two party system (as far as I can tell) is the aggressive “my team” energy that is memorable of new converts to a faith. I could see an evangelical making the same post hoping to “save” the curious atheist.

@hankgreen.bsky.social Can you please help me spread how radiation actually works? NJ Drones are not looking for Radiation and John Ferguson is lying. youtube.com/shorts/pV2tW...

Sigh…Twitter today

Sigh….peak Blue Sky humour

Hey fellow leftists, Maybe we don’t become tyrants again? Just block him. We already did this song and dance and lost. @jessesingal.com

What’s a little grooming between friends

Don’t give up hope Blue Sky, @briantylercohen.bsky.social is still fighting the good fight. 07

Catherine…would love to see you on Bridges podcast with @destiny.gg and @notsoerudite.bsky.social

Worked on this with fellow #dgg members @xaz.daliban.co, @scammer.daliban.co, and @hydroxyalkyl.com

In case you’re wondering what Twitter is up to. I enjoy the Tesla ad right below this post.

Elon Musk Probably: 🤔🧐🤨 ☝🏻 💯

In case you’re wondering what Twitter is up to: People are struggling to understand the different with sex ed and sexual harassment

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook) www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

Arcane is too good, it’s like staring into the sun

🤦🏻‍♀️ “How is it possible we lost the election!?”

Blue sky energy

Abuse and trauma down: W No manageable stressors and helicopter parenting: L

Curious peoples thoughts. Should essential services have unions?

No second season of Kaos is brutal. A stacked Supreme Court also kinda sucks :/
