No, I got you!* It’s like I warn some of my clients: I’m going to ask questions and respond and it will seem like I’m angry with you. I’m not. I’m processing information and don’t realize I’m coming across too aggressive. *Imagining Vigano holding a flaming sword, carried by two seraphim*

No, I agree. Bluesky, and Twitter, are often at times barking up the wrong tree. And some of the things make us look like the same creepy little freaks that follow Q, but no one else understands. And yeah, if I mentioned Bsky concerns, it would be stay away from me.

Here's a pdf you can share with people about Project 2025. Unlike some of the memes floating around, it comes with actual citations to pages, which are going to be a lot more persuasive!

Still annoyed how my tax rate (along with most families with 3 or more dependents) went up under Trump’s tax plan and I definitely make a point to complain loudly each April. Then seeing they want to continue it. 😡

And for me, those are bread and butter things that piss me off to no end. I got a third of my masters paid for with need based, another third with academic, and the last third that it would be forgiven after ten to twenty five years. Then to take that away, not to mention the SAVE plan. Likewise,

And part of the issue with that, is that’s not something that’s going to get normal people to vote. Even hypothetically, if you’re talking to someone off-line, even if they agree with you, most people are not going to admit that publicly, and for good reason!

Whenever someone is outed as problematic, there are a billion people who need to see, in sky-writing, "you didn't know, that's ok, but now you do, act accordingly." No one expects you to be psychic or in on every whisper network, and folks inferring so aren't being fair. WHISPER networks. WHISPER.

I am just as guilty of things anyone, but if your are in a sea of despair, you are no good to anybody. See friends, do hobbies, realize life is beautiful, and log off as necessary. Honestly most change doesn’t come through Bsky but real life interactions. Nolite Te Bastardes Carborundorum

The United States has gotten too big to rule. The only solution for Biden is to split the empire in two and have dual presidents, where he will rule from D.C. and Kamala Harris will rule from Los Angeles.

Those conditions are brown outs, rolling black outs, and emails to limit power because our governor and state legislature was more concerned about worsening life for LGBTQIA people, building razor wire, and tax cuts for large businesses than fixing the power grid or funding schools and healthcare.

Drove by the scammy car lots this afternoon and they were selling five Teslas. You know, the small lot that often has a sports car elevated, and is right by the train tracks and says “No credit, no problem!” Not sure what that means to see Teslas there, but found it interesting.

People were talking about the far left of France being evil .. thought I’d check their devious plans.. 😅🤣 So evil, Raising minimum wage, lowering the retirement age, building public housing and making the state responsible for education costs.. Maybe I’ll call myself far left too.

And I’m not an unskew the polls or models by any means, but Silver has been a bit rusty compared to his colleagues in the field the past few years, and has been on a personal crusade against Biden, which I can’t help but wonder is an unintentional bias.

No suggestions really. I do like Punchbowl’s morning email, but it’s pretty Washington centered. However, Jake Sherman is a pretty good reporter. Maybe Axios or Vox has something?

Honestly, seeing people find out in the wild that New York City has giant mounds of trash bags ten feet high along every sidewalk in the city three or four times a week is one of the great pleasures of the internet. Yes, the entire city. Every trash day. Looks like this. For real, not a joke.
