I'd had a Twitter account (and still have an Instagram account) to promote my dumb lil' local blog. I get exponentially more traffic from Bluesky than ever I did from Twitter or Instagram, and I like to think that it's because the folks here are generally cooler.

How do you tactfully spin "My current company is going down in flames and I have absolutely no faith in management to do the right thing" in a job interview situation?

What? Paul Dano was great in that role. I can see QT's point - the character is sorta dull and wooden, but I guess I thought that was 100% intentional.

"The White House isn't sure whether Trump actually had a phone call or just imagined it" is where we are on the dementia scale now.

The only thing worse than Aunt Brenda's soggy-ass side dish is her husband's racist and political tirades and hot-takes.

Oh sure, go ahead liberals, dunk on β€œSouthern Redneck MAGA Mama” just because they have β€œWhite, Christian, American and Proud” in their bio and also happen to be a 17yo from Kenya tweeting 239 times a day about American politics but actually you’re just being racist against hardworking immigrants

Never had the honor of assembling a 50 year old model, but I did assemble a 20 year old car model one time...

Can we hit them with trucks, or does that right only apply to when leftists are protesting?

Nice rig! I just came across a pic of an old ESP that I regrettably traded to a guy and was thinking how much I missed that guitar.

Not sure how strict they are on "Grand Rapids," but I definitely submitted a few names of places in the suburbs or not in the City itself.

Yep, completely ignoring facts and truth because we're "supposed to" vote Republican. It's exhausting trying to even have conversations deeper than sports or weather because they're SO far into their own little bubbles

A - it's inconvenient for them
B - they're told it's Fake News by the likes of Sean Hannity all day long on the radio (or from memes on Facebook these days)
C - when they were youngsters, they heard "it's gonna be the next ice age"

My uncles have almost annually commented on how much snow there used to be for deer season (coming off of a near-60 degree opening day yesterday), and how the deer migration patterns have slowly changed over the past 50+ years...while still denying climate change or anything.

I've been using @resist.bot to contact Rep. Huizenga for over 5 years, and everything I've written him about has been responded to with nothing more than Republican talking points - blaming Dems or liberals, and not much else in the way of content. He's always in campaign mode, not "doing work" mode

Bill Huizenga (MI-02) isn't going to vote yes on the discharge petition.
