While this is not true "verification", I do recommend that if you have your own domain, change your #Bluesky account to use your own custom domain. It'll require changing DNS records, but if you are comfortable with that, I highly recommend it.

The amount of homeowners who don't know why their tax bills go up each year is just unreal. It's ignorance, but if you are gonna complain out of ignorance, I'm going to call you out on it

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

On an occasional Tuesday, I go to Trivia Night at a local sports bar with some friends. One of the rounds involves music, which I'm notoriously terrible at.

However, this time, they played @eve6.bsky.social's "Inside Out" and I'm proud to say that I got it immediately 😁

A wide-ranging leading man who earned critical praise, he was known to be charismatic but unpredictable. At one point he dropped out of Hollywood for a decade.

I wrote about my kind, funny childhood friend Michelle Trachtenberg, and the group of friends that saved my life when I was a kid.

My Cool Friend Michelle
Other kids called Trachtenberg a bitch, but in our group of child stars, we all wanted to be like her.

Let me get this straight: there's a USA Spending database that is freely available, and DOGE is sitting here like "the deep state is keeping all of this secret!" 🤦‍♂️

Did Ted Cruz literally argue that only American citizens have 1st Amendment rights?!? Holy shit, absolutely deranged that a sitting Senator would say something as stupid as that

I'm not saying the next President should revoke Elon Musk's citizenship ...

I'm also saying they should force him to leave the country and unable to set foot here again

Dear movie studios, I get that you want your name in the credits of your movie, but if I have to sit through literally 2 minutes of "presented by" and "produced by" and "distributed by" animated studio credits, I'm going to just not watch it.

Trump/Vance, who don't speak a lick of Ukrainian: "How disrespectful!"

Ugh ... got a one-time bonus from a partnership agreement with a company that sold, and the taxes took almost half of it. A good reminder that Donald Trump, a billionaire, paid only $750 in federal taxes for two years.

What are we even doing here?

Trump's first budget drives the deficit up by $4 trillion ... and this is the fiscally responsible party?! They are a circus

Hey @salesforce.bsky.social can you stop using JavaScript buttons? That may have been popular in the 2000s, but it's a terrible way to code for modern day browsers and apps.

Things that don't make sense to me:

If you own a home and something breaks, you have to pay for it and you get no tax breaks or anything

If you own an apartment complex and something breaks, it's a business expense and can be written off

Why does our tax law allow this?
