Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

I open my Bluesky feed and it is full of really cool people saying really smart things and being really passionate about really interesting stuff.

I like this version of social media, and the world.

Thanks, folks.

If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Back in my day, we didn’t call them ‘echo chambers’. We called them ‘not hanging out with assholes.’

So it begins….remember when Trump promised "no tax on overtime" and all the morons cheered….well yeah there will be no tax on overtime because there will be no overtime to tax….morons should’ve read Project 2025 like we told them to www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.

Taking away rights.

Taking away benefits.

Taking away a path to citizenship.

It’s a platform based on cruelty.

They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.

Sad.

Don’t believe anyone telling you we’re in an echo chamber here at Bluesky. We’ve all heard differing opinions and we will no longer allow morally bankrupt and brainwashed fake patriots to drown out our voices. Being nice is no longer an option. Use this platform to stay focused and motivated!

the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes

If your first instinct is to block, go with it.

Just dropped one on a stranger who demanded to know “what’s the point if bringing this up?” in reply to a post.

No regrets.

So, if I understand this correctly, the GOP is covering up Matt Gaetz's history of pedophilia because they need him to Be Attorney General so he can *checks notes* drain the swamp.

*checks again* Yep. Drain the swamp. That's what it says.

Do I have this right?
