As of today, 53% of ALL United States government “shutdown days” have been under Trump’s administrations

And if counting by hours (ie. “partial days”) it’s now more than 50% of all “shutdown hours” too

Credit goes to Grok for helping to keep track of the stats for me

Update: tech support reply ended up in my spam folder. Apparently it’s been happening to many accounts, and they’re “working on it”.

Advised me to 1. Switch to non-domain handle; 2. Reverify domain handle. Worked, but only after some time delay from step 1.

Silencing satire: Goebbels' 1939 political comedy purge in Nazi Germany In 1939, Nazi Germany banned five popular comedians for political jokes, revealing how authoritarians fear satire

At this moment I’m not ready to accuse @bsky.app of maliciousness. Incompetence? Maybe. Over-reliance on automated tools without enough human oversight? Maybe

I do have a support ticket opened overnight about it, so far no reply. But that they took this action without telling me anything? Cruel!

If I don’t like Trump

I can’t have my name?

You stole my handle
Cuz you don’t like my nickname?
A chilling effect!

I’ve had this domain for 30 years, and have been “the possum” longer than that. Recent events may have made you wary; and while I’ve been critical of gov’t overreach I’m NOT inciting violence, not even close!

If you were “meh” and skipped voting? Because “All politicians lie” “They’re all the same” “I’m just one vote”

YOU MATTER

Reminder; especially if you didn’t vote: YOUR VOTE MATTERS

Some sad math with which to hurt your brain
*I like to use Grok for such queries, as that particular AI often has a pro-MAGA predilection; so getting it to confess otherwise is somehow more cathartic
