An independent voter is like the dude who always demands to see the menu even though he always asks for the cheeseburger with fries.

Is Disco Elysium really that good, or does it just preach politics that Bsky users like in the most ham-fisted way possible?

Are there studies anywhere about the connection between Bsky activism and sociopathy?

Bsky Leftists never know what the saying "A hit dog will holler" means.

Cults heavily use continual repetition of key phrases until they are so embedded in followers' brains that they instinctually utter them to shut down any critical thoughts any time the facts start to stress them out. Something to keep in mind as we watch Paxton's opening salvos against Talarico.

Where do the people suddenly terrified of data centers think the internet comes from?

The coveted 'And another thing!' block:

He blocked me for pointing out that he could just apply for jobs in Puerto Rico and move there if he really wanted to:

I managed to not bother responding to a post about how Israel wants to create "Greater Israel" because I realized to don't have to engage every absurd post in my feed.

I got a Democratic post-mortem for the pile: People who cared about issues or values made up their minds long before the election. All the information to make a decision had always been available. Trump won because the median American voter is abysmally uninformed and stupid as a bag of hammers.

LOL! LMAO!

One of the really regrettable things about Episcopal canon law is that there is very little the Church, the diocese, or even the congregation can do as a unsuitable priest is dragging a congregation down with him or her because "Being a terrible person and priest" is not a violation of canons.

There are a number of millennials in my feed who do not realize that they are not inheriting any money or real estate because nursing homes are really, really expensive.

Anti-Zionists could not make up an Israeli leader like Ben-Gvir: www.timesofisrael.com/ben-gvir-pos...

It's really amazing how Bsky can make just any community absolutely toxic.

Why can't people just engage about issues on social media? Why does everything require an aggressive, deranged, defensive response?

Something that gets really old about social media is when people use your posts as an excuse to have an argument they want to have, and they get mad when you aren't actually making that argument.

Apparently my super controversial takes this week are "Mass murder is bad" and "Hauling groceries on the bus is kind of a pain."

He blocked me for saying that hauling groceries on the bus is kind of a pain:

I really should make a rule that it's not worth engaging people who get mad at the simple statement "Mass murdering civilians is bad."

"If you were really against mass murder you would support the mass murder of Jews" is an insane belief that turns out to be really common on Bsky.

I know we're supposed to be enthusiastic, but I have never really believed in Blexis.

On Bsky, believing it's wrong to mass murder Jewish civilians makes you a Nazi.

Hamasniks maintain internal consistency in this belief by convincing themselves that Israeli concert-goers, infants, and elderly retirees all had it coming.

A lot of antizionists haven't read the charter of Hamas and it shows.

Like every weekend in Boston. Friend: "I love how walkable Boston is, you don't need a car!" Me: "Sure sure, do you want a ride to the supermarket when I drive there tomorrow?" Friend: "Oh, yes please!"

I love walkable neighborhoods and good public transportation as much as the next guy, but a lot of social media urbanists have never had to haul groceries for a family of 4 on a bus and it shows.

It's kind of fascinating how the red-brown phenomenon is exclusively the reds following browns and never the other way around

Does all ideology exist to absolve us from moral consideration of other people?

I've been branded a "Genocide apologist" for literally nothing more than saying it's wrong to mass murder civilians:

The Ratbag Leftsts are all really mad that I said it's wrong to murder civilians.

Oh my gawsh, this goober deciding my post about the saying "Hit dogs will holler" was about him is like the most perfectest example ever.

If you decide to have an ideology and post on social media, always keep in mind the saying "Hit dogs will holler."

Hamasniks insist they don't support massacring civilians but they get really mad when you suggest that killing civilians is bad.

A guy who endorsed Hamas butchering concertgoers and Jewish children thinks he's the victim of the Nazis.

It really is amazing how many Hamasniks cheer on terrorists massacring Jewish civilians and then pretend they would have been on the side of Jews in Nazi Germany.

In other words, it's only a war crime if Jews do it, but it's fine if the victims are Jews.

It really is amazing how believing that it's wrong to target civilians in Israel/Palestine discourse will get you accused of both genocide supporting Zionism and also terrorism support antisemitism.

It's always amazing when some reply goblin acts like arguing in bad faith is pulling some "good one" over you.

I have come to believe that the prime issue with Israel/Palestine discourse is that people on both sides see humanity as a zero-sum game where the smallest criticism of the actions of one side is seen as uncritical acceptance of the narrative of the other.

Most Hamas lovers at least pretend to distance themselves from terrorists butchering civilians.

Moderation lists are complete bullshit and Bsky should disable them because they enable brigading.

I never guessed "Buildings with lots of computers in them" would be the next irrational mass panic but here we are.

Do other couples wrestle guns out of each other's hand then lunge hungrily into a passionate kiss, or is that something that just happens on TV?

@shadowtodd.bsky.social I haven't the vaguest ideas why Todd in the Shadows blocked me completely out of the blue.

"Oh, you think voting is going to fix anything? That pales in comparison to my strategy of screaming insults and obscenities at random Democrats on the internet."--Bsky Progs

Bsky has this amazing sort of person that feels that their societal grievances gives them a personal right to be a deranged freak.

One thing they don't tell you when you go to seminary is that when you're a priest, random freaks like this project their disgusting fantasies on to you.

You'd never guess this was his response to me saying electing Democrats was the best way to stop Republicans.
