Then they came for the Constitution
And I did not speak out because I wanted a king
Thus did America die, stripped for parts by oligarchs
And I stood by and cheered as it happened"

Stay strong, my beloved Los Angeles. Stay strong, everyone. History never sides with fascists in the end.

FIRST THEY CAME: MAGA

"First they came for immigrants
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an immigrant
Then they came for Democrats
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Democrat
Then they came for women
And I did not speak out
For I was brainwashed to vote against my interests

Sad that on a day when we celebrate a King who fought for freedom, we install a man who wants to be a king in all the worst ways possible. #inauguration #MLK

Knee-high socks! I had to get new socks but needed knee-high, and awesome socks are only crew and ankle. 😭

So, what killed the 100 people in North Carolina, a decidedly pro-religion state, when Helene rolled through?

By this logic, those people also got what they deserved? But because they respected religion, their disaster was worse and killed more people?

Real solid logic there.

Gianmarcoooooo! That was brilliant. Set up perfectly and got everything in there in the cleverest way possible. Well done! 👏

Here's wishing all the best this holiday season and coming year for both you and your "cousin Luigi."

Also, "fictional and dead" is my favorite way to experience Nazis! Thank you for including so much of that. Times have been dark lately, and we probably have darker days ahead, but seeing that made me feel hope that, ultimately, Nazis won't win. We fought and beat them before. We can do it again.

I died when "Coin Operated Boy" started playing. This is my ghost on Bluesky!

Seriously, the show is so good in every detail. From Gogol Bordello popping up in the first two episodes to the amazing writing—"Countries don't have friends." "...True friendship is built on petroleum deposits." 💜

The first two episodes, yep! Tons of GB! It branched out in episode 3, but in a way that was well worth it and rewarding. The song they used for GI Robot's big scene could not have been more apropos. "Coin Operated Boy"!? I'm loving this show!

Many thanks for the insight, and for the awesome work you're doing on your account with rules to make block lists. I am definitely going to be making use of those!

I feel like I can breathe easier now. May your oatmeal have all the best add-ins!

Of course, it might just be a cache issue.

First thing to try and understand about Bluesky... Is it possible to remove clearly spammy and probably bot followers? I blocked the two spam phantoms that followed my basically non-existent account, but still show as having 2 followers. :/
