Only the weakest of people nuzzle up to power, especially at the expense of integrity and the safety of their own people. You know who you are.

These are interesting

About to be real petty here, but all the farmers that voted for Trump that are losing farms. Good! I hope you lose every dime. I'll give you as much sympathy as you give the people tossed in Guantánamo Bay, or fired from jobs in the gov or deported. F You, and F your families too.

Your newsletters are outstanding.

indeed!

Yeah, sometimes stupid & hate go hand in hand lol.

I don't think media is at all what it once was. When there's only fidelity to the dollar how can it even be trusted anymore. There's a complete lack of credibility in the media right now. I certainly have no interest in aiding in that.

I'd love to believe it was simply messaging but every single MAGA I've had conversations with, the ones that claim to not be racist dont even realize it. Have a inbox full of "Nwords" from people who claim they arent racists. Not sure people are ready to admit out loud why they vote the way they do

Hard for me to imagine that White women (I expect the worst from White men as a voting block) voted for Trump simply because of inflation considering everything else that was at stake. Minorities have a pretty good insight into that mindset. If Kamala was a White dude named Kevin I think she wins.

we'll have to agree to disagree unless we have an education issue. The economy has been growing, inflation down, market up and not one policy proposed by Trump was about the economy. So make that make sense to me?

I don't know if we are ready to have a conversation about the fact that there is an entire LARGE swath of people who rather vote for a white rapist rather than a black woman. Not sure what conversation you can have there. White supremacy is large and in charge.

Seeing people mad about a Black country artist not getting his due from a traditionally racist, White institution. Why y'all mad? Do you not know what country you live in? Dude could have the number 1 country song for 1000 days & trust me, they will not celebrate him. I'm sure he knew that going in.

Sloppy but #morningchords

Been having this issue for so long on one of the web sites I manage. Whenever the (c) appears it converts it to the copyright symbol. I thought it was a rendering issue or autocorrect - which happens in a lot of programs. It came down to fonts, had never heard of font-variant-ligatures until today.

Very cool! Good to see you around.

I'll have to peep that. I havent seen much of anything but the original show, the original movies, pieces of the new generation movies (Picard?), and all the new movies.

For those of us that grew up watching Star Trek ( the original ) this is a very cool send off for the characters of Kirk and Spock. Just super cool and moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgOZ...

(3/3) ... app for folks that want to control what they ingest via social media. I certainly don't need that type of drama in my life lol.

(2/3) There is nothing wrong with civil discourse but that place is far from civil. Anyone urging you to stay there has skin in the game. I'm trying to make the move slowly and deliberately. BlueSky isnt an app for democrats, it's hopefully an ...

(1/ 3 )People that urging us to stay on the other app because it's not healthy to live in an echo chamber disregard quite a few things.
1. An algorithm that force feeds you disinformation
2. The lack of safety guardrails (block)
3. It's owned by a fascist ...

So glad this week is going quickly, I need the weekend like I need air.

What I hope to do better with Bluesky as opposed to Twitter is to curate better. Some things on my @dukeblogger.com
account and some on my personal just me account -
@brianhorace.bsky.social. I think that will keep me saner lol.
