Bluesky is a personality focused, broadcast platform for public data
We need an information focused, broadcasting platform with application agnostic, decoupled data. This is what we don’t have. This is what G is.

This entire administration is, at the core, all about bilking average Americans to give more money to the ultra-wealthy. I wondered if they would try to disguise it but it’s just the most visible the oligarchy has ever been
Justifying tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the working class is a betrayal at its worst.

Even though my political and social awareness was still very incomplete as a college student, I considered an insurance career until I realized that something seemed very wrong about running algorithms to determine who would and would not get coverage. The whole industry is a scam against humanity
Stop calling them "health insurance corporations."
Their business is Health Exploitation. Then they Limit their Liability. Their full accurate name is Health Exploitation Limited Liability Corporations.

this is the biggest obstacle to making the information environment better for left-wing politics - the right wing is simply much better funded
and, of course, any funding from billionaires for ostensibly left-wing projects is unlikely to support messages like "there shouldn't be billionaires"

The conservative media landscape is exceptionally well-funded. Wealthy donors, PACs, and corporations with a vested interest in conservative policies give figures like Bari millions in no strings attached funding in order to control the independent media ecosystem and push reactionary politics
There was a really great story in the NYer awhile ago looking at her nonprofit and its reliance on megadonors like Harlan Crowe and Suzy Edelman. Of note was how these donors dictated the move from "CRT" to "gender ideology" www.jezebel.com/harlan-crow-...

My state’s governor is an absolutely shameless bootlicker
Sununu told Bash he liked that Musk is an “outsider”—an interesting choice of words—who is “not looking for anything.” When she challenged that notion, he responded, “The guy is worth $450 billion” and therefore is “so rich he’s removed from the potential financial influence.”
New Hampshire’s governor thinks Elon Musk is too rich for conflicts of interest
Chris Sununu clearly doesn't understand billionaires.

My problem with the H-1B visa system is not that it allows tech workers express entry into the U.S. It's that it puts those workers in a position where they are subject to abusive treatment while simultaneously depressing benefits for all workers.
