I think Mr. Rochko has done an admirable job with Mastodon. Even when I disagreed with the direction of the project, I always found his reasoning for decisions to be well thought out and articulated. I wish him all the best. mastodon #fediverse

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

I remember my excitement when, randomly in change, I got my first steel
penn made during the height of WWII. It felt like such a connection to the lives of my grandparents. Curious to see if the penny of any form will feel the same to my grandchildren.

So, the guy who started 2ALiberals subreddit was ejected from his own subreddit because he approved my post about the KKK vs the Lumbee by another mod who made a power grab as a result.
WTF?
Both 2ALiberals and LGO subreddit MODs (not members) are hostile to my work. I have my suspicions.

Judge Mark Wolf should serve as an inspiration to all of us who have secure enough positions to speak out against the Trump regime's assault on the rule of law.
He also highlights a few instances of Trump’s corruption and abuse of power for those who may not be paying attention.

Because those of us who post about politics on Bluesky are in a weird "everyone knows a lot about politics" bubble, we overestimate how many people who voted for Trump did so because they ran through his policies and said, "I agree with these."
