Have you made your bluesky account username public info here? Also @atomheartbevo Also for anyone at bluesky, if you're not aware of starter packs, they're basically a must know to build your account. If you want to get a lot of followers, find the admin of any list and ask them to add you. If you want to find people to follow, search the starter packs for users that others have recommended grouped under certain expertise and/or content. Starter pack subjects can be extremely micro. It's a feature that's a bit like what twitter had with "law twitter" or "immunology twitter" except more organized. There's over 5,000 starter packs https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all Bluesky doesn't have a central algorithm, so you have to follow a lot more accounts to get an active timeline...like 600 +/- 100 It also has "feeds," and you can get added to those or just use them to find people to follow. Feeds can be pinned to your home page a bit like a bookmark within the bluesky site to switch what content you see.

Oh look what the cat dragged (back) in

Fair. There's a few people on this site who have real accounts with valuable info/writing.

Go succor yourself in the CR.

On Mark Galeotti's latest episode of the In Moscow's Shadows podcast, he said his advice to Zelensky is that the new Ambassador to the US should be a former Miss Ukraine. He was only partially joking.

Delete your accounts on X prior to the November 15th, that's when the new terms of service go into effect, so they will have free license to feed your tweets to their A.I. plus a global copyright on anything you've ever posted. To be clear, opting out means deleting all of your previous tweets and not posting there again. There's no opting out in the sense that you can 'select' it in the settings. If you don't delete your account, I don't know if they retain the right to use your past writings, or even more importantly, if they think they would still have that right. edit - link https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/21/tech/x-twitter-terms-of-service/index.html

The Senate being asked to stand down from their constitutional role of affirming appointment of government officials just like the Supreme Court was ordered to tilt the wheels of justice in favor of an autocratic fascist. Nothing to see there. And by the way that's not the meaning of "recess appointments."

The land of the dumbfucks

Thanks for the neg @Macklemore you reminded me that's about you, too.

Someone else's words about a SMU failson and other losers like them. "There’s a substantial cohort of people (some "men") who use social media as a tool for motivated perversity. The goal is to generate disagreement. The goal of posting isn’t to engage with ideas, but to perform knowledge and mastery over masculinized areas of expertise. That includes politics, economics, sports, video games… Men can demonstrate their masculinity by showing off how much they know about these topics. But if you agree with someone, or embrace widely accepted views, you don’t get the chance to show how much you know! So, men looking to perform these masculinities *have to* disagree with conventional views and/or offer up increasingly extreme views. What does this mean for how we should treat these posters? There’s no point in engaging. Their motivation isn’t to learn, or persuade, it’s to disagree for the sake of disagreeing. They are, in a very real way, getting off on your engagement, disagreement and disgust. The experience of some men’s lives, such as SMU failson Johnny Sack for example, hasn’t kept up with their expectations of masculinity, so they’re flailing around for some way to demonstrate their perceived gender. It is possible to structure political and social discourse to eliminate negative motivations and make everyone more comfortable sharing ideas. But folks, social media isn’t that. Let them have their spaces to spiral into the most offensive things they can think of, but there’s no reason to help."

Looking forward to the hysterics when the Dodgers sign Roki Sasaki from Japan, simply because they schmoozed him for years, and saved their int'l free agent bonus allotment so have the most to offer by far.

sack/drenbler sorry had to get the door and messed up the username

Why are you dudes even responding to a demented oxy addict?

Well... the Allen and Kelli Questrom Professor in Markets, Public Policy & Law at Boston University promoted this research published just last month tying the shift to republican with the increased use of opioids. So all the monday morning quarterback takes may just be useless. Just another thing to thank the Sacklers and other drug dealers for. https://viquibarone.github.io/baronevictoria/ArteagaBarone_Opioids_RepSupport.pdf

Having moved away from Texas, it now requires at least some energy to root for a Texas team. I'm no longer in the collective that feels better rooting for the best the state has to offer. I dunno...maybe I'm just depressed. Maybe college football just became a lot less important to me. OTOH I had to stop myself from buying a flight to Austin for the KY game because something else came up on my schedule.

Don't be so fucking stupid. Many of them are complete morons, you twat.

Shout out to mac and drebbin and ulic this one's for you boys

The way you say "Project 2025 Boogeyman" makes me think you're a full-on regard. Dotard created that group. He gave 'em a speech on their inaugural meeting. His top staffers were deeply tied, as were JV Vance's. You're so fucking stupid I guess you'll be surprise the minute they start rolling out that nazi shit. As far as money, yes she outraised him from SMALL DONORS. That doesn't include the money the billionaires gave Dotard. Something like $700 BILLION, with which they did shit a regulated political campaign could never do and kept it secret.

She had to be positive and smiling for the most part. But she damned sure also showed she was tough and smart and knew how to cut a bitch. She'd have been a great President. She had a current role as the Vice President and that job comes with responsibilities she had to uphold. She couldn't be out attacking Joe Biden ffs.

It wasn't a problem with messaging. She got slaughtered by hundreds of billions of dollars in lying, grotesque attack/scare/false ads on every media. Aimed at stupid people who are easily frightened because they have limited understanding of how the world works. Knocking on doors wasn't able to overcome it and enthusing large crowds wasn't enough to overcome it.
