I get why/that people say this, but dont' underestimate this:
all other social networks are invested in making sure that posts that link to journalism remain buried, or at least never go viral.
BlueSky doesn't do that. That makes it very valuable to a ton of newsrooms righ tnow.
The ritual of useless demands for useless information now serves the causes it purports to oppose.

Thank gods he's got humor, otherwise I'd drown in tears. @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social keeps me informed, sane, and somehow laughing through all this fucked up shit. Come on, let's fuck the news together. Sign up, best money and time you'll spend.
Iran, while authoritarian, is not a strongman dictatorship. It has an elected parliament that is not a duma; it has an elected president; the clerical leader is elected by a specialized body. Decapitation is unlikely to bring it down

As a peacemaker and non-Nobel Peace Prize winner myself, I'd like to suggest a fair compromise that I think will make everyone happy.
Regime change in Iran.
Regime change in Israel.
Regime change in the U.S.
Fair's fair.
U.S. and Israel draw first blood.
This’ll teach girls’ schools not to enrich uranium.
Some good new and some bad news and all curated with lots of laughs

An animated image of the Wikipedia mascot character Baby Globe. It is a white globe with an open top with large, cute eyes and stubby blue arms and legs. Baby Globe is wearing an orange birthday party hat on the side. It reaches inside itself and pulls out yellow and pink confetti while doing a blushing smile.

Timeline cleanser: @wikipedia.org is celebrating its 25th birthday with a new logo, Baby Globe.
They've got several animations to enjoy, beyond the ones I'm featuring. Link: wikimediafoundation.org/wikipedia25/...

In which @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social of The Fucking News brings you up to speed on … well, the fucking news that’s been happening while we in the UK have been watching famous wrong-uns getting their collars felt

I read that it was Markwayne Mullin. May I ask where you got the still picture?

I need to emphasize that "go back to where you came from" used to be considered riiiiiight below the n-word as verboten public hate speech. Like, even just 10 years ago.
And now it's just totally a regular part of Republican rhetoric that doesn't get a lick of coverage or media/political outrage.
"We obliterated their nuclear program."
2 second later
"We cannot allow them to have a nuclear weapon."
This The Fucking News (TFN) post is extra sharp and extra hilarious.
Lots of info and LOLs 🤓😊☃️

Hey, Mitch? Aren't you glad you didn't make sure that he couldn't run again by whipping that second impeachment? Great legacy you've got there.
Hey John Roberts, great stuff in that immunity ruling. I'll bet you're thrilled. Your legacy is secure too.

The 2025 net total was 181,000 jobs — which would be a strong year if years were months.
Stocks: Yes, markets have done well. This tells us something about the state of the union’s parasites. @jonathanlarsen.bsky.social
