Just had a flashback to a line from this song/rant:
> Where did American know-how go
> Why do Japanese build better stereos
> Is it 'cos our best minds can't get a job?
> Except when they help make toys for the Pentagon
Balancing Siphon coffee maker, a contraption that somehow makes coffee.
Gonna save so much money with this contraption.

It's been three years since they let a guy walk away from a checkpoint with a suitcase full of fentanyl in candy boxes. They identified the suspect, but I guess they never bothered to follow up on it.

Don't you think you might be doing your audience a disservice here? It's a really bad idea to talk about criminal charges without a lawyer, and I think it's unhelpful to act like she did something inappropriate by not answering your questions.

But I wonder if there's other things, like if an account is deleted, or if certain kinds of moderation get involved.
There's a few things that could be going on, but I don't know the protocol well enough.

I don't see it either.
This seems misguided. I like to use Bluesky, and so I have a personal stake in maintaining the environment here.
If I saw trash strewn across my home street, I'd clean it up even though there are worse streets in other parts of town.
I feel like you're just feeling defensive, you're fine. It's ok.
It's not a real photo of Bondi though:

Not really. I used to do community notes on Twitter, but I don't mess with that site anymore. Facebook is trying to launch a community notes feature but it's really bad, doesn't seem to work well.
I try to call out misinformation here because I like Bluesky, I don't try to clean up places I dislike
