  1. Based on 2016-2020, he'll be gone within 6 months. One good thing is that Europe is stepping up (even if slowly), and I don't think some people like the idea of Europe one-upping them and looking stronger.
  2. So he really didn't test positive. If that's his test, he should find better tests.
  3. Musk will be sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with multiple people who run agencies that either regulate his companies or send expensive contracts to his companies. Almost sounds like a "Deep State" if you will, that a guy who makes billions from the government is at the same table as the people cutting the checks. Musk has been a billionaire for many years, and he also wants to take away things he doesn't like because some incel told him they were bad, regardless of how much taking away those things might fuck over non-billionaires. He has not had a normal life since the 90s (and arguably before that). Musk is also an illegal immigrant who is now going to be working inside the White House. We supposedly don't want them mowing our lawns or roofing our homes, but they will be in the White House daily, trying to steer policy.
  4. They have plans to raise funds from users soon, but it will remain free, they won't boost paid subscribers, unlike Elmo. I am more than happy to live with those. Bluesky Announces Series A to Grow Network of 13M+ Users - Bluesky
  5. Damn, once you import all of your twitter followers/followed, once you hit the right starter packs and the right feeds Bluesky is all
  6. Yay, I tested positive for COVID again. Do I stay home and watch Parks and Rec or What We Do in the Shadows and self-quarantine? Nah.
  7. Invision devs said they were looking at it back in August. I'm guessing the recent exodus might spur them on. Right now it's only HTML embeds.
  8. I didn't play 24/7 with only Star Wars and G. I. Joe toys, I took a break to read comics. At least until I discovered my dad's porn stash.
  9. @Hornius Emeritus Have you tried this? It's probably going to take you hours to search through your twitter profile. I'm running it every day as more people keep coming over to Bluesky and at some point, Twitter will block it (they've done it for account scrapers in the past). They went from 5,700 (I think) Starter Packs to 8,200 in just a few days. I saw somebody mention on Bluesky that they've never seen such a rapid migration between platforms/websites, and I'm thinking "let me introduce you to Surly". Edit: Bluesky topped the App charts, and it's picking up a lot of steam outside of the US once again (apparently many are seeing it becoming just a mouthpiece for certain friends of Leon).
  10. I remember Feige getting annoyed with somebody comparing comic book Aquaman and Namor and asking if Namor was coming into the MCU since Aquaman was popular in DC's movies, and how Namor and Aquaman literally have parents who were from Atlantis. Feige's response was something about Namor/Sub-Mariner was introduced first in the comics and Aquaman was introduced later in the 1940s, and they had always planned to introduce Namor in the MCU and it had nothing to do with Momoa's success as Aquaman. Personally, I do think they planned on bringing Namor in (or at least I'm happy they did) because at least in the 70s/80s comics I had, Black Panther and Namor were always butting heads/playing off one another and the kid in me wanted to see that in the MCU. And at the time they were planning a lot of this out, Feige had no real access to Spidey and his villains and X-Men/Fantastic Four and their villains. Now they have the same problem with the Thunderbolts and Suicide Squad, especially with Amanda Waller and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine giving off vibes of being the same characters at times, and John Walker/US Agent and Peacemaker, etc. Yeah, it's a little too on the nose at times, so they have to change it up. At least now they have control over X-Men/F4 and their villains going forward.
  11. DOGE Leon deliberately picked the title to be DOGE. Because he’s 12 and Tesla car models are S,3,X,Y
  12. You can thank DC and Joe Mangianello(?)'s Deathstroke for changing the character and gender up. After Deathstroke, they probably weren't going to take a chance on being compared to DC over that. Same thing happened with Prince Namor/Sub-Mariner - after Mamoa's Aquaman took off, they shifted continents/races so nobody would compare them.
  13. When Roseanne Barr thinks you're weird as fuck for carrying a dead bear cub around in the trunk of your car because you want to eat the fucking thing, you're probably really fucking weird.
  14. If they fly into Miami, aren't they used to this?
  15. I really tried Threads but the lack of DMs and multiple hashtags was a pain in the ass.
  16. Also, search the 7,000+ starter packs for “Ukraine” https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all Some of the packs follow humanitarian stuff, some follow high-level stuff, some are focused on small battles, etc.
  17. Tony Stewart made a run at a new series, but sold it to Kyle Larson and Brad Sweet, and they are running 61 races next year, with a dozen tracks added. This is from the sale last year: Kyle Larson, Brad Sweet go 'all in' after buying sprint car series from Tony Stewart - Auto Racing Digest And plans for next year High Limit Sprint Car Series announces 61-race schedule for 2025 with 13 new tracks - NBC Sports It's not NASCAR level, but at least people are trying new series. And Formula 1 keeps growing in popularity.
  18. So to rehash Mosseri and Zuckerberg's fuckup: Lack of hashtags beyond the first one. DMs being pushed to an entirely separate client Bluesky's feeds function Bluesky's starter pack function Sky Follower Bridge made it easy/automated to get back to "normal" with people from twitter who came over. I've truly wound down the last of my twitter accounts, which was not many. Some had been setup only for a website or two and weren't active enough to care about when starting over. The rest were for OSINT/Ukraine, some history stuff, and some football stuff. CFBSky starter pack seems to be a decent jumping off point for CFB fans, but I haven't seen enough of the twitter folks active yet.
  19. Yep, took a bit of time, but it added a lot more. @Hornius Emeritus you should do that. It gives you the option to add all. Anybody thinking about it should probably use it now, because twitter has blocked these types of things in the past. Leon wants X.com to eventually Be Everything to Everybody - their email, news, social media, photo and video sharing, banking, etc., platform and him getting his AI stuff running at a high level is a part of that strategy - AI-generated content will keep his followers happy.
