@heardindc.bsky.social Overheard in the Van Ness Giant, two employees talking near the rotisserie chickens: “If the price of eggs gone up, why ain’t the price of birds gone up? Think about it. Where the chicken come from?”

So, here’s my question I’ve seen no one address: Where’s the executive order moving USAID to State? I get the argument MAGAs make that USAID was created by executive order, so it can be unmade by the same. So WHERE IS IT? It isn’t on the WH website with the rest of the executive orders.
Trump is doing by executive order what he is too weak to do by legislation.
He does not have the votes in Congress.
He wouldn't be able to get ANY of this passed if he tried.
He is the WEAKEST incoming president in 50 years.

I guess so. But why even offer the function of straight reposting if it's highly unlikely to be seen by even the people following you?

Yes, we should always quote-post.
I'm genuinely curious what reposting does on @bsky.app. What's the point? It shows up in your following feed, but nowhere else. Does it influence what shows in the Discover feed or other trending feeds any more than clicking like? Should we ALWAYS quote-repost?

Last night, for the first time in at least a year, I walked into our local Giant grocery store, and there was no “special police” security person in the black uniform wearing what may (or may not be) a gun inside the front door. Does this mean the shoplifting panic is over?
