Good morning! Juxtapose, if you will, the (Oscar short-listed) 2024 documentary "Soundtrack to a Coup d'État" with Pope Francis' stunning 2024 decision to consider the beatification of King Baudouin of Belgium. wtf. Ora pro nobis.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Kind of thrilled for Demi Moore...

A date which will live in infamy.

Dane County judge strikes down Act 10, restoring public employee union bargaining rights Public employee collective bargaining rights have been restored by a Dane County judge, who ruled that several sections of Wisconsin's controversial law known as Act 10 are unconstitutional.

In case you missed it, a Wisconsin judge this week struck down former Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 law.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is a moment of celebration and hope in these troubled times.

Historic moment in Syria. The rebels have taken back nearly all of Aleppo in less than 72 hours, they’ve brought down the Assad regime’s flag in the city center. #freeSyria

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland.bsky.social writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream.

I left Twitter when EM lifted the Trump ban and I have missed the jokes I learned from and the facts that made me laugh. Glad to be here! Back to GNX on repeat...
