The one obvious scam I'm most likely to fall for is "I'll draw the person you'll marry"

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

The Vietnam vet vs the ex-stripper is my favorite. They've been locked into this for so long they couldn't survive without each other. And they keep calling each other gay which is ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Seriously @bsky.app, stop refreshing when I open another app IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A POST!!! I'm trying to check my facts, something I'd think you'd encourage

"La Marseilles" may be the most powerful use of a song in a non-musical, ever.
