I'm very glad to see Eric Adams recede into the distance, hopefully to never return, but this interview with him is so satisfying, b/c she exposes just how stupid & unworthy of office he always was. youtu.be/-9CmFvGEXXk

Other than promoting game culture-adjacent content on FORT90 TV, I had quietly quit this account, but after learning of the bullshit censorship that's been happening (and turning it off; a search for "content filter" will provide instructions on how to), am giving Bluesky another shot

I RT-ed a similar thread the other day, but this one is filled more detailed info, specifically how you have to do this on both mobile AND desktop, PLUS, you kind of have to go back in & out cuz certain options only appear after the fact

But yeah, this is straight up nanny state level bullshit…
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Anyone pals in Brooklyn feel like taking a trip to Jersey with me? I'll pay for gas, tolls, AND Wawa chicken sandwiches…

I assume I'm not the first to say this, but regardless: this is the guy that Gen Alpha (and maybe very late Gen Z-ers) who follow whatever cult in 10-20 years that is equivalent to MAGA today will all vote for president

Sorry I hate to say it but 2018/19 art twitter is never coming back no matter how many places we try and run to. The world has changed, the way people use social media has changed. Sure I'd love if that kind of thing still existed but it's never going to be exactly like that ever again.

It's also why some of your fave people (sorry to be the bearer of bad news & all) have returned to Twitter (as have I); this has been going on for a while and Bluesky's censorship has either flown under the radar, or been simply ignored, hence why it has become an even emptier echo chamber…
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES: this Monday's previously announced edition of the FORT90 FILM CLUB has been postponed to make way another FORT90 TV broadcast!

And I'm often asked where I get the backgrounds for my flyers, which is a variety of (non AI) sources; this time it's twitter.com/KosinerSky

It's been tough explaining to fellow Mamadani stans outside of NYC why we still love Curtis Sliwa; "he's our problematic yet nevertheless lovable uncle" alas doesn't get the point across to everyone

Also, I sincerely hope you also find someone who looks at you like his wife Nancy (like I have)

Political discourse on Bluesky:

“Can’t stress enough how perfect of a day it is in NYC. A comfortable 65 degrees. No cloud in the sky. Most golden light you have ever seen. It’s like the city is on a soundstage. You would call it corny if you saw it in a movie.”

Cuomo's concession speech, which could be best summed up as him bitterly stating "I am a racist piece of shit and I will continue to be a racist piece of shit" ended with Jay Z's Empire State of Mind which is so fucking on-brand & goddamn hilarious
