Bluesky is a social media platform and presumably poisoning all of our brains like any other.
But every time something bad happens in the world the Skyline is suddenly filled with fun, interesting people saying "I guess I'm gonna post here more, wow, it's so not-rancid" and I appreciate that

This has been my experience as well.
We should use social media that doesn’t make us feel terrible and anxious. This is the one I’ve found for this moment. That might change down the line, but right now this is the best I’ve found.

A theme that comes up whenever I talk to folks who work with LLMs: The tool demands domain expertise AND a faculty of judgment, yet the people most indebted to LLMs lack both.
this is a recurring theme I've seen. people think LLMs reduce the need for understanding of things and act like it. but every successful use I've seen has as a prerequisite a demonstrable and generally deeper understanding of the topic and objective
or, if you don't, you hit the wall at speed

GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

I don’t understand why Dems have to choose? “Trump is a corrupt billionaire pedo whose self-serving policies have made your life more expensive” is not that hard of a message imo
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
Force A Referendum On The Epstein Coverup
It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and it is now clear to me that the President of the United States is a pedophile. But at least I know that the Cracker Barrel logo won't be changed any time soon.

In a demoralizing world it does warm the heart to see an eighty seven year-old lady repeatedly burn the world’s richest man to a crisp in a manner that clearly gets right under his skin and provokes him to flailing, compensatory exertions that only affirm the point she was making.

"Standing for something really feels like it could work anywhere to redraw the boundaries, to move the positive and negative space into some new configuration less aligned to terrible lies, more aligned to great truths."
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

If you are familiar with Reply All, but have no yet listened to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, listeners are saying the latest episode is a “banger”. You should maybe give it a shot.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd
