I’m disabled and I think I should have subsidized DoorDash but only me. The other circus freaks don’t deserve it.

The new Superman film is pro-immigrant, but it definitely isn’t woke. It’s a defense of assimilation. open.substack.com/pub/bendreyf...

My favorite moment of WelcomeFest was after Josh Barro finished his onstage conversation and sat down next to me and I was giggling and whispered “they’re really mad at you on BlueSky lol” and tried to show him my phone and he was like “I don’t care” and didn’t look

I fell asleep in a NYC cab once and woke up in a lot in east New York and there was this 6’ guy standing over me and he said he was an important journalist who was a top podcaster and they covered trans issues. And then he put a Heineken bottle up my ass. I woke up 3 days later in Rhode Island.

I love Starbucks for the very simple reason that I hate small business owners

BlueSky has been getting owned for not having a sense of humor and the screenshots are quite funny

How is BlueSky? Still doing you?

I’m not surprised the TikTok left has a crush on China. Luigi Mangione is going to die in prison so if your love language is murdering corporate executives, Xi Jinping is going to be the most eligible bachelor on your list not named Vladimir Putin.

I’ve seen a lot of really funny tweets from left wing TikTokers that are like “I wish I lived in glorious China where they respect freedom of speech, celebrate queerness, and people don’t have to work so hard just to scrape by!” I imagine there are some funny version here. Please send me examples

When I joined BlueSky all these people blocked me and were not nice but then a few weeks later @jessesingal.com joined and everyone stopped talking about me. I feel a bit like Stalin, rolling around in hell, whining about how he doesn’t get to headline shows.

This bitch said something not nice to me!!! Chop him up and feed him to the Europeans I mean the poor

I fucking dare you to make this argument at the Supreme Court! I will argue that the mutants who can shoot death lasers out of their eyes are not protected by the bill of rights because they aren’t humans and you can argue they are. You will lose 8-1, maybe 9-0.

Why are there so many Jews in America? Oh whoops sorry I meant to share this one BlueSky.

Happy new year to white people I mean everyone

The X-Men and every other mutant are a clear and present danger to humanity and of course must register their powers with the authorities. This would not be controversial. The bill would pass 99-1 in the Senate. Once we have a cure we also will force them to take it. This is common sense.

@mcatonj.bsky.social Hi Mr Caton-Jones, my name is Ben Dreyfuss. I’m a journalist. I’m writing a thing about one very specific part of Rob Roy which I don’t think anyone else has covered. I’d love to chat with you if you ever have a few minutes to spare! Best, Ben

There is nothing in the preliminary exit polls to suggest that Twitter swung the election to Trump. The groups most active on Twitter did not move towards Trump as much as other groups. Musk and the anti-Musk left both pretend like the other did this but it’s just pretend

You can also just say this! This is honest. I am not asking everyone on this site to answer for the worst among them. Of course I’m not. I won’t defend the worst on Facebook or Twitter. I just want people to be more honest about how network effects are the main thing!

Jesus Christ I am not asking anyone to block anyone. I just was trying to show that a lot of people on this site are assholes too like every other site . I just would like people to say “I use BlueSky because my friends are here” and not “BlueSky is filled with angels!”

When I joined BlueSky a month ago I instantly got all these messages calling me a faggot. I then was successfully bullied off and logged out of the app. I remembered my password this week and would like to point out that I am still getting this

This is such horse shit lol. I played a scenario based paintball game with a friend, and revealed it to social media to explicitly show how reductive and stupid outrage online is! No one was hurt. No one did anything against their will.

It’s so funny that half of Bluesky was like “yes we must kill all the CEOs and then dance in their blood” but Jesse Singal’s mere presence is what led to the dumb company actually having to be like “let’s discuss moderation”

One of the reasons the left shouldn’t try to gin up a civil war is that they’re going to run out of bullets super quickly if they’re putting two in @jessesingal.com’s chest AND one in his forehead.

This is outrageous! I am only blocked by 5k people

I took some time off this app because I figured it was filled with people being like “yay let’s kill the executives” but have decided to check back in and see if BlueSky has moved on yet

I’m sorry for how it happened and we should have been nicer about it but we did need to take the land from the Indians. www.calmdownben.com/p/we-did-nee...

This seems good and productive! www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/u...

@eliasisquith.blog hey! Hope you’re doing well! I hate this app but I do like getting to see some friends I haven’t seen in a while.

Many people have said that LGBT+QIA2S is unwieldy and that the acronym should go back to LGBT+. Others have pointed out that + is idiotic and it should be LGBT. Some have said that bisexuality is pretend so it should be LGT. I would go further and say lesbians are just gay women so it should be GT.

I admit that Twitter is in certain ways worse since Musk bought it but it has improved in two ways: 1) a lot of the most annoying people left and moved here, and 2) I now randomly get paid money once in a while for tweets I was already sending

I love Twitter and will go down with it, but I have lots of memory on my phone and room for many apps that I use only occasionally

I kept checking BlueSky the last few days sporadically and being like “seems like all these maniacs have stopped complaining about me” and honestly I sort of lost interest, but I just realized it’s because I had turned on this mute. It’s off now and I see you have all continued

This is absurd lol. The chart in this video ends in 2020 because wealth inequality actually went down immediately after that, aka in the period relevant to this election

The last 200 years of world history can be summed up as: liberalism and capitalism are so extraordinarily successful that we can afford to tolerate even the perverts and the freaks

white college educated men like myself are the only demo that swung towards Kamala. We’re all very frustrated with the minorities and women. Please come to my tedtalk

I wonder if we’re going to do war with Iran? On the one hand, I don’t really trust Trump to be the good cop to Israel’s bad cop in such a war. On the other hand, they are asking for it. Maybe we should just get it over with.

Actually we lost

Donald Trump is a cuck bitch just like Kamala and Biden when it comes to war. What democrats need to do it become loudly pro-war so we can take back the mantle of “killers of terrorists.” Obama got this. We need to invade Cuba (and probably Afghanistan again)

Trans issues are not why Dems lose elections and it is totally unfair to trans people to blame them for that. Climate change and everything the left has said about race for the last decade is why democrats lose elections.

What’s missing?

I have been playing around for a minute by being intentionally provocative but this one is straightforward: the left gets off denying agency in the world but every single political science study ever conducted shows that voters don’t differentiate between politicians and their supporters

Let me totally above board about my motives: I am not trying to get blocked. I came here to chat with friends and was attacked relentlessly before I had said anything remotely controversial. It got out of control. Now I am merely proving a point.

Just heard about this new newsletter. I don’t agree with all his opinions but he is an incisive thinker. Look forward to reading his stuff.

The Irish didn’t even fight against the Nazis in WW2 and in fact Alan rickman’s character from the movie who was president by then went to the German embassy and said “I’m so sorry Hitler is dead can I suck your cock” and the German said “yes” and then the mick bastard sucked him to completion

When I first transferred to the mother jones NYC office, I was given the code to the door and told not to give it to Swin because “we had to change it after he kept sleeping here”

You know who has been making a lot of sense lately is that Nate Silver! His election forecasts and commentary about polls helpful and accurate but I’m also impressed by his non-election thoughts. His thoughts about COVID and various other culture issues seem really good.

Ok this was a blast. C u l8er. I’ll come back tomorrow and post something you’ll hate like I don’t know a picture of Hillary Clinton having a nice day

Did you know that there is no archaeological evidence that the Jews were even in Egypt? Let alone slaves. And when you think about that, it’s hard not to wonder what else they’re lying about Oh wait these posts are supposed to be humorously naughty & offensive but BlueSky is filled with antisemites

I have a glass eye but I am lucky enough that my parents could afford absurdly expensive ocularists. There was one of guy in my town growing up with one eye but he was less lucky and his eye was “off the rack”. Let me tell you, friend: really rough. He had a medium blue.
