I love The Righteous Gemstones
Jackson County TN Christian nationalist Pastor Andrew Isker is apparently afraid that TSA scanners will make him become attracted to men - so he chooses a personal pat-down instead.

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.

It does seem pretty weird that the Trump administration wanted the Ukraine President to sign that thing about giving the United States its mineral rights and then when he wouldn’t do it Trump was immediately like ok fuck Ukriane. Kinda seems like that should be a scandal or something

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

Getting close to blocking anyone in my mentions arguing that the Biden pardon of his son is a big deal. It's just not.

I absolutely do not care.

You cannot make me.

Do not try.

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming

Hey new users— we’ve been trying to build a strong culture of expecting alt text. Take it from me, because I’ve heard from them: there are blind people on this app and they appreciate being included. You can also turn on a setting that prevents you from posting images without it, if you forget

The beauty of Twitter was that an account with tons of followers would tweet something whacked about wombats and the world’s leading wombat expert would reply to set the record straight. I think Bluesky has the potential for that.
