The Bluesky government accounts want unhinged engagement with their accounts to screenshot and provide to Fox News to justify their authoritarianism and I’m not going to do their work for them it’s my day off.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.
Gotta block ‘em all!
Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

Would love to see this die like the beanie baby thing.
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

Normalize calling fascists fascists.
The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.
"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

I had to pause this for a meeting but 50% through and it's really relevant to a lot of things we are talking about around our house these days. Also, wish I had used my C64 for learning to program vs playing Frogger.
Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.
I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Absolutely correct. Just got one.
I sincerely believe there is a massive untapped market of people that haven't ridden bikes since childhood who are one e-bike ride experience away from realizing how pleasant and useful they are for getting around urban areas.
I think people have yet to wake up to just how amazing e-bikes are. I commute about 20 miles a day, using about 10 cents of electricity. (Mostly on safe trails.)
Every time I ride my brain is ecstatic. I get a workout, but don’t need to shower when I get to work.
