USA Is A Reality TV Show

I think this fellow haw nailed it. The next time the renewal of America's Big Beautiful reality show is up for network renewal, Democrats need to play the the audience (those being Americans with a 4 second attention span) by repeating incessantly "Trump Tarrif Tax". www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSYv...

John Cleese on extremism. As true today as it was in 1987.

Why Trump's tariff chaos actually makes sense (big picture)
YouTube video by Money & Macro Why Trump's tariff chaos actually makes sense (big picture)

Think Trumpty Dumpty has no plan? This video gives -- what's missing in today's dumbed-down social & media discourse -- the context and plausible explanation for MAGA strategy. youtu.be/1ts5wJ6OfzA?...

I'm not a BlueSky apologist or defender. You care about 'reach'. I get it.

It done explain a lot. It is also a warning against β€œintuition”. Here’s a pithy quote: β€œthe problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while stupid ones are full of confidence.” - Charles Bukowski.

We may not be seeing big numbers yet but there's some evidence that bluesky subscribers are more seriously engaged.

I don’t think there’s any quick fixes, Jim. Long-term, I think critical thinking should be mandatory in school curricula starting in public school.

Hey, Donald. I think Canada should annex the
US. Think about it, you can have healthcare for all, reasonable government and a place to escape extreme climate change caused heat. What do you think?

It makes me proud to be a Costco member. The world needs more companies who see that ethics and business go hand in hand.

Wait, "groups"? Does it have groups? I've been looking for something like groups. Closest I've seen is "lists". I think BS is confusing because they've not matched their users' mental model. I understand they are working on groups.

Canada’s Green Party leader has taken social media by storm after hitting back at Donald Trump for saying Canada would make a β€œnice 51st state.” Here’s what Elizabeth May had to say about the U.S. pre... TikTok video by CGTN Europe

Thank you, Jesse. I appreciate the response. I can agree with you on the battle horn music. Trump probably doesn't know your name and I doubt he listens to CanadaLand. Does that mean you shouldn't be in his face, even if it's just a performance for your listeners?

Could you enlighten those who appreciate Jagmeet's message why you say it "embarrassing beyond description"? Coming from a journalist, isn't this sort of post just plain lazy? Isn't describing situations like this actually your occupation?

SkyFeed Real-time app for Bluesky with a powerful Feed Builder

Controlling your timeline with custom feeds. SkyFeed (skyfeed.app) is the free one I’m using. Bluesky should have this as a built-in capability though.

Yes, no doubt. As a Canadian, I’m feeling it too. It’s hard to ignore explicit threats to Canada’s sovereignty.
