Signing off the frustrating BlueSky for now. For the record, #SciFiChat is Friday, January 2. Social Hour starts at 3pET, Discussion Questions start at 4pET. The topic will be, A Year in the Future, or, #SciFi in 2026. #NewYear #Fantasy #Horror #Books #TV #Movies #Comics #Games

Hey, my birthday is tomorrow! Whatcha gettin' me? Oh, a secret, of course. Ok, see you all tomorrow. #SciFiChat

Search "hashtag" without a hashtag to see what is up with hashtags and al the lack of hashtaggery goodness. #SciFiChat, in case it counts.

I'm calling it. #SciFiChat is canceled this week because of technical difficulties. The Future isn't working like it should. I'm guessing this is superior AI technology.

scifichat and just that and the hat.

Let's try scifichat without a hashtag and just do the wearch by text word...? #SciFIChat

#Haiku test for #SciFiChat

Hey, #BlueSky, is anyone else having problems searching for hashtags? #SciFiChat is having a bit of a block in the plumbing.

The #SciFiChat feed seems to be MOSTLY working. Not catching all the #SciFiChat tagged tweets. Don't know why not.

Checking in to #SciFiChat, via the #SciFiChat feed bsky.app/profile/did:.... Near as we can tell, the search bar for #SciFiChat is not working. But you can't stop the signal, try the feed.

bsky.app/profile/did:... That feed seems to be working to pull up the #SciFiChat hashtags.

Alrighty then. Let's try using feeds! There is a #SciFiChat feed. Let me go hunt that link up.

This is a test for a variety of hashtags and their response time: #SciFiChat #Trump #Writing #Bluesky #NewYear

#SciFiChat2 doesn't come up with anything, despite the test messages (Thanks Paul).

Harumph. #NewYear seems to be working, I get hashtags that are only 1h old. #Trump latest is 1d old, so that makes me think it's system wide. No #SciFiChat for 6d.

This is a test for the hashtag #SciFiChat2.

Oh, weird, it's my whole account across applications. I can't see #SciFiChat search. though I am seeing the replies from you guys. You all seem to be seeing it.

For some reason, my search window for #SciFiChat isn’t working on my phone app. Let me sign on my big giant supercomputer Hall 3000 mainframe.

The #SciFiChat Discussion Questions start at 4pET. The topic will be In the Year 2525, or, The Future of the Future. We are having the #SciFiChat Social Hour until then. #SciFi #Fantasy #Horror #Books #TV #Movies #Comics #Games

Welcome to the #SciFiChat Social Hour. We discuss #SciFi #Fantasy #Horror #Books #TV #Movies #Comics #Games and all manner of #Geek. This is also our annual Future of the Past Year Wrap-up session. To participate use the #SciFiChat hashtag, and please introduce yourself.

Merry Christmas! He has come! Look, he has a box for you with your name on it.

Christmas is such a beutiful day. The insipid, endless, repetitive Christian music stopped. No one calls to ask for money to some nebulous cause. Traffic relents from road-rageous stop-and-go my-parking-spot-MFer stress to pleasant valley snow driving. You don’t have to lie to kids anymore.

#Trump pays $3000 plus free air fare to any immigrant, including legal residents, who self-deport. That’s taxpayer money being given away. The alternative is “rot in detention indefinitely,” also at taxpayer expense. And they don’t pay taxes this year. #Resist #TheMoreYouKnow #Immigration

Well, I always thought the NORAD #Santa Tracking call line was stupid. I’m going to call in right now and complain. You should too. 1-877-HI-SANTA Oh hell, I’ve been reduced to doxxing Santa Claus. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #InviteDonaldRuinXmas #TrumpRuinsEverything

This is the document everyone is talking about. This is why we fight. This is why we #Resist. Trump did this. #MAGA doesn’t care. Stand up to the Enemy, i.e. every Republican who put this slimebag in office. #ViveLaRésistance #RiseUp #Weirdos #Pedos #Babykillers www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Remember when the Soviet Union controlled the media but foreign news on satellite and news leaked by fax collapsed the entire government and party leaders were run out of the Kremlin? Just sayin’, no one ever expects the American Revolution. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #RiseUp #ThankYouCanada

I have this valuable and insightful explanation and evaluation about Yellow Font and Pink Font trends: Listen up, this is important… 67. #AskEditor

You mean this? www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

This is the 60 Minutes segment that the Trump administration censored this last weekend from American eyes. Thank Canada for letting the news out. If you have not seen it, see it! Spread it! Shove it in their faces. #FuckICE #ViveLaRésistance #Resist www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Funniest line from a UK video today: “So what do you put on the insurance form—I mean, is it like, ‘Reason for Accident: America.” Yep, completely totaled.

1/26/98: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” 12/19/25: “I did not have sex with, I never met her. She’s a cow, I mean, have you seen her? All I’m saying is the president, I can pound anything and have the biggest balls, right there, where the East Wing used to be, really biggest.”

State of the #Resist. Major network puts MAGA superstar on as a featured guest. Advertisers drop out en masse. Ratings plummet. Subscribers cancel. Feature a MAGA star, lose an audience and your job. Lesson concluded. There will be a test Friday, Dec. 19. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #RiseUp

Here are some search terms for your Net Surfing over the weekend: frontotemporal dementia phonemic paraphasia Donald Trump behavior 25th Amendment Take notes. There will be a quiz on Friday, Dec. 19. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #RiseUp

Dick Van Dyke turned 100. I told you Mary Poppins was too long.

So, they want to pit Turning Point chapters in every high school? Remember computer club, when they called us nerds and bullied us and pranked us so bad it made us scared? Good to have those “weirdos” in a club where we can identify them. Weirdos. #ViveLaRésistance #Resist #RiseUp

Today’s required thread for the #Resist. @ebonstorm.bsky.social is an insightful thinker who knows macroeconomics, and speaks no small amount about the truth of power. He used to post on Facebook about the evils of the soulless system. Meta kicked him out. Bluesky is the place for such voices.

No… The definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results… D’Oh!

To overcome the Enemy, know his mind. This will give you ideas to #Resist creatively and effectively. When he calls someone “stupid,” we see how stupid he has become. Make it a drinking game. And make everyone know the term… “Frontotemporal Dementia.” A special kind of stupid. #RiseUp

I can see my house from here. #SciFiChat
