But seriously, keep at it. I saw your threads posts. I don’t know how all these algorithms work, but I learned a while ago not to take them personally. I was off all social media for most of a year recently and nobody noticed!

Meet Edward β€œBig Balls” Cortisine, 19-years-old DOGE team member who was once fired for leaking company proprietary information to competitors. Now he is a senior advisor at the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Technology. You just can’t make this stuff up.

If you want to know who these people are, look at their faces when a bishop of the church pleads with the President to have empathy and compassion on immigrants and sexual minorities.

Senator Amy Klobuchar is reminding us all what Democracy is all about, and Trump has to sit there and listen to it. Love this!!

I have no admiration whatsoever for health insurance CEO’s. While I’m also angry that they oversee massive companies that compromise their plan members’ coverage for sheer profit, we’ve got even greater problems when we start smirking the moment one of them is murdered in cold blood. Think about it.

Uh oh… it looks like only white middle-class people will face the judgement of God. Better get right with Jesus now, I guess! 😲

So I decided to use #Duolingo to learn #Spanish. Anything I can do to communicate with and help migrants from South and Central America and Mexico, I will do!

Yes, indeed. Don’t just remove language. First, try to redefine it.

King has written some wonderful thriller novels. His 11/22/63 is my favorite of his… and one to especially mention on today of all days.

But of course, no report will be disqualifying in the realm of Cult Trump, as Trump himself has proved over and over again.

People say that to save our country we need to bring prayer and Christian teaching back into schools. No. What’s really needed is to bring transformational Christian discipleship back into a lot more churches. That’s the way it’s always worked.
(Don’t believe me? Read your Bible.)

I'd love to know how to turn that around. That's one of the things that made me a less than frequent user of Twitter.

Looks like the Trumpster trolls are trying to invade #bluesky. May they be given lots of blocks to play with!

Authoritarians have historically tapped highly unqualified, even laughable, but fiercely loyal deputies in order break apart institutions and structures and consolidate them under their rule. If the Senate doesn’t have the spine to stop Trump from doing the same thing, we’ll see bad history repeat.

So other than taking part in the great Twitter/X exodus, why else are you here on #bluesky? What's unique to this experience? I'm genuinely curious!
