File this under “Things I Regret Teaching My Animals” along with teaching my horse how to open gates and my dog how to ring bells when he wants to go out, a desire so strong it can never be satisfied.

Wall Street needs granny’s pension - it literally pays the insurance premium covering its moral hazard.

Who benefited from the mortgage crisis bailouts? Who’s going to benefit this time around?

Not granny, not her grandchildren, not you, not me.
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

A tent that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene is a tent too small, too mean, too bigoted, too uncaring for the folks who built the tent in the first place and who are depended upon to keep it standing.

Fuck you and all like you @raskin.house.gov.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Sarah Kendzior banned from Bsky for quoting Johnny Cash lyric:

I was suspended from BlueSky for defending the honor of Johnny Cash. I wish I were joking. In early October, I referenced the “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” lyric of “Folsom Prison B...

I ran a controlled study wherein I disagreed and debated with goldfish who refused to breath on land.

And I did it because that’s how science works.

Is “VICTIM“ in the Epstein email about Trump Katie Johnson or someone else?

Whether or no, I hope someone’s watching out for them.

Right.

Rainbows, pictures of scenic places in Missouri and elsewhere and pro-democracy content are obviously worthy of a suspension.
False attribution. If a person is suspended it is because of their identity? Could it not be because of their content? I wrote about it here aaron.leaflet.pub/3m52nqqmk322v

With Sarah Kendzior being banned from this platform the question becomes whether BS is really a true option for democracy lovers & defenders. Arbitrarily silencing one voice has a ripple effect that actually muzzles us all. The free flow of info & discourse has just been rendered less free..

Simple reinstatement of Sarah Kendzior isn’t enough at this point:

1. Reinstatement;
2. Investigation and disclosure of what caused the suspension; and
3. Transparent, clear, specific and public rules about how accounts are suspended.
If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

Why is it taking so long for you @support.bsky.team to undo what is a baseless, undeserved suspension of Sarah Kendzior and likely the result of an op against her?

Has the Trump regime installed a monitor here, too? Is there a pre-filed suit settlement announcement in the offing?

Literally, WTF?!?
@support.bsky.team Why was Sarah Kendzior's account suspended? A well known and respected writer whose views are VITAL in these times of constitutional crisis? Is Blue Sky suppressing free speech now?

Just attended a very moving Remembrance Day ceremony in my village.

Sometimes I think Americans are so willing to go to war because for the most part, war’s consequences haven’t hit most of us personally. But for Pearl Harbor, it happens elsewhere.

Hey @jay.bsky.team!

Unsuspend @sarahkendzior.bsky.social! Now!

And then, stop throttling her account!
