Idk if either of you are single or interested but imagine if this mistake inadvertently starts a chain reaction that makes this real.

It is possible to honour the efforts of brave Americans doing their best to defend democracy while at the same time having a realistic appreciation of what the drift to instability and authoritarianism in America that necessitates these efforts means for the American state's global reliability

Me too

I'm Brazilian I meant

I'm Brazil and for example here it often results in needless confrontation between the 3 powers where each try to get more power at the expense of the other.

Another bad American example is the supreme court for example, of course there's the issue in many parliamentary systems like Israel and the Netherlands iirc where their supreme court is powerless which imo is also bad.

Separation of powers

The extreme taking to it's logical conclusion of separations of powers the presidential system has is very bad because it basically create fiefdoms for each sphere where they have absolute power or at minimum too much, no confidence votes kinda mitigate that and aren't necessarily incompatible with

Pick your poison basically, and parliamentary systems for liberal democracies are less bad.

Parliamentary systems are just better, honestly. And they’re not very good!

They're the ones who make the existence of trans people political.

It's rare seeing these types of people here, they must specifically have come to bsky to harass you.

Oh no you made a enemy of them because *checks note* you are trans and true to yourself.

Thank you so much both of yoy

Meanwhile on the other site Micky is getting harassed for her coming out and I'm bombarded by Nazi idiots and doomscrolling

Holy fuck it really hit me that it's 2026 LMAO

I really need to use bluesky more, Twitter is such a cesspit, also thank you ma'am.

I'm in a similar situation as op and you likewise have inspired me, thank you.

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

Get in folks, it's time to relitigate the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner with Paraguay next summer

It seems like we're experiencing a sort of rerun of the political violence of the 1960s—except this time we have the internet cooking everyone's brains. None of this leads anywhere good.

@lowrhoufo.bsky.social low-key the lack of ability to keep up with shit has been a barrier for me

but it's done, It took a while tho since I follow 1k+ people and I decided to turn it on for every one 😭

Notifications are a game changer, maybe I'll finally be active here, otoh this should have been a feature from the beginning but tbf building a site isn't easy, was kinda annoying to turn on notifications tho since I follow so many people 😭

Evil, absolutely evil.

The New York Times front page.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
