@iwriteok.bsky.social Some thoughts on Zizians-
I haven't heard you talk much about Worm and I don't know if you're familiar, but the character Ziz is named for is a highly destructive, future-oriented, manipulator.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

@iwriteok.bsky.social and @kavehmd.bsky.social, Andersen's in Buellton is closed (maybe just for renovation).
There appears to be a second location, but I cannot comment on the quality of truck stops in Santa Nella.

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority
"Corporate leadership is as stupid as everyone else and freaked out about viral shoplifting videos" isn't as exciting as "the pharmacies are doing fascist performance art so they can uh murder all poor people" but sometimes things really are just stupid

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

@afantano.bsky.social You need to revisit Short n' Sweet. The writing is so fucking clever and layered, you completely missed it. Don't get hung up on whether she's the face or the heel moment to moment, that's all intentional and you got absolutely hoodwinked by it last time.

The Mortal Coil Shuffle
a star, a skull,
a philosopher, stoned;
they make the road by walking
and mr fish,
the king of rats;
he shaped the world by talking
which one is me
a right-brained man,
with a left-hand cigarette
not the nova,
not the pith,
but the power to forget

Giving them an echo chamber is forcing them to hear what they're saying?!
It wasn't on my bingo card, but I'm screaming. Bring on the fascist in-fighting. The sooner the better.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

I’m nearly a decade seeing the tweets of bigots and fascists, daily. Never once has it broadened my horizon or changed my perspective. It’s miserable and dysfunctional
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
