The richest man on earth owns X.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

See the problem here?

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The mighty full hams.

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

The Best Damn Band In The Land doing Script Ohio is cool but I think we all agree it would be more impressive if they were from a state with more letters.

Might I suggest "keep digging"?

Absolutely nothing I want to read less than some asshole’s “Here’s how the Dems blew it” thinkpiece. May as well devote 2,000 words to why your dog just farted

Anybody got tips on how to “post” on Musk’s musk and this app at the same time?

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky **Before you start following people**, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. **Turn off NSFW filters** in *Settings > Moderation > Content Filters and *Settings > Moderation > Advanced > Bluesky Moderation Service*. **Find your friends** from the hellsite using *SkyFollowerBridge.com*. **Follow a few feeds** related to your interests. Some generic feeds: - *Catch Up*: kinda like a “best posts of the week” - *Only Posts*: to see no quotes/reposts, only new posts from those you follow - *FollowersLike*: to discover random things your followers recently liked **Turn on “Show Posts From My Feeds”** in *Settings > Following Feed Preferences*. This will sprinkle random posts from your feeds into your main Home feed. **Block often.** Don’t interact with trolls, don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphyxiate. This is the Bsky way. **F*** content scrapers.** Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to *joabaldwin.com/scrapers* and on the top-right clicking on *Subscribe > Block Accounts* **Use alt text** to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on *Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting*. **Likes on reposts do not trigger notifications.** If you only repost stuff, it might look super quiet even if people are liking what you repost. Mix in more regular posts or quotes! **It takes time to rebuild**, and that is fine, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last few tweets to tell everyone to move. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit and will only get worse. Do not support the platform that wants to destroy you. If you must post for a bit longer, post cropped images telling people where to find the uncropped ones until all your friends make the move.

Saw this on Twitter, reposting here, with alt-text, for new arrivals

During the Carberry era, sure. And it’s not like the Caps are bare in draft picks now.

Post-Trotz though (let alone Post-2017)?

While I’m happy that there are alternatives to Musk’s….Musk, I genuinely wonder if all this is just all of us hiding into our corner and making us more siloed and angry at one another.

Or maybe this is just how governments want us all to be.

Uh oh! I found another thing to be hopelessly addicted to. Thanks Bluesky.
