This is a heartening thread comparing likes, posts, and shares on Bluesky, Threads, and X. There's also information about a climate change scientists regular posting. Bluesky performed really well -- and the difference between positive responses and trolling is dramatic.

Had a fabulous day exploring Seattle again. Love this city. Plus a fantastic Orioles-Mariners game with big plays from Gunnar, Julio, & J.P. T-Mobile Park is a beautiful stadium and I discovered this hanging bat chandelier on our way out. ⚾️🔱

My grandfather was a paratrooper in WWII so I think the “hot dogs from heaven” promotion where the hot dogs are parachuted into the stands really honors his service on the Fourth.

Just let them wear their team uniforms like they did for decades. It’s so much more fun that way!

We’ve done the Caribbean and the Alaskan. Both fun but the Alaskan is much more mellow and nature rich. The Caribbean is much more party-focused.

There's a door alarm at our library that chirps every 20-30 seconds like a weird bird. We reported it one week ago. Multiple people have looked at it. Today we got the diagnosis: the batteries are dying but "the guy who has the key is on vacation." 😂

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.
