I’m quitting this platform in my efforts to minimize my consumption of Amazon and its products. I canceled prime a year ago and I have not missed a damn thing. I do not need more surveillance in my life. Goodbye.

Where are they gonna go, Florida?

@newshour.bsky.social really disappointing to hear the conversation with David Brooks saying nobody is resisting Trump. National protests of millions on April 7 and October 18, the 5051 movement, to name a couple….

@economist.com it’s strange that you will not accept my money to purchase a subscription to your Espresso subscription version. I’ve now looked on your website, “chatted” with some bot and spoken with a human being. Through which logic of capitalism do you not make a particular product available?

Kazakh moguls, the pal of Donald Trump, teen models, and the yacht of the father of the Turks Scandal on the Mediterranean: a police raid, suspected trafficking of girls and connections to the elite of America, Russia, Turkey and Kazakhstan: new findings

Why does it seem all Donny’s friends like teen models?
This article published in 2016 details a raid on a Turkish yacht with underage girls and ties to Trump and Erdogan.

This does make me laugh.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

You should hear me complaining a blue streak when I ride my bike in Rochester, which is as frequently possible. People parking in the “bike lanes,” drivers coming as close as possible, drivers yelling at me to get on the sidewalk. & repair workers, leaving big metal plates in the middle of the road.

"This is really not that functionally different than if those guests showed up with satchels of cash or briefcases with stacks of bill and then just dumped it all into a big bucket physically held by the President of the United States," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump's crypto dinner.

Outrageous

Bull hockey

Outrage after outrage. Don’t let them wear us down.

Librarian of Congress firing is latest move in upheaval of U.S. cultural institutions President Trump fired Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, via email late Thursday night, the latest in a string of actions the president has taken to shape American cultural institutions.

The firing of the Librarian of Congress is worse than many appreciate. The Librarian is appointed for a ten year term by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The position is nonpartisan and runs the critically important Congressional Research Service.

@airbnbhelp.bsky.social you used to support hosts but I just wasted 2 hours trying to get paid a payout you had erroneously withheld after I bent over backwards to be flexible for a long term guest.
