As BlueSky surges in popularity, I feel it's important to state that my posts here do not reflect the opinions of my current employer, but they DO reflect the opinions of the Carrabas Italian Grill I worked at in Bensalem, PA in 2005

I'm begging brands to understand that I don't need to join a community of like-minded individuals, or get daily email updates from your founder, or learn more about the ethical practices of your business.

I find the "paid protestor" line of thinking as odd as the "everyone's a Fed" line of thinking. Is your imagination so stunted that you can't even conceive of someone taking action on their own accord? Is your worldview so limited in scope that every political action must be driven by self interest?

Came home late to a screaming cat who, when asked why he's crying, sprints across the room and dives into a box and begins purring. You have one guess what color this dumb-dumb is.

This article perfectly sums up the conversation between Coats and Klein, and alludes to the fact that the "dirtbag left" for all its flaws is vastly more clear eyed in its assessment of contemporary politics and our current historical moment.

Ezra Klein Is Mourning The End Of The Civilacrum
Klein wants a simulation of politics without conflict. Ascendant fascism won't allow that.

My take on One Battle After Another is that it is a mistake to view it as a film with political answers. The politics of the movie are secondary to the story it is telling, and they are not directly related to the politics of our moment other than "ICE is bad, immigration crackdowns are racist."

I'm saying this as someone with an undergrad degree in Poetry: you should feel embarrassed if you tell someone you have a degree in Podcasting.
Syracuse University, which costs $100,000 per year, has opened a school to give degrees in podcasting and social media influencing 🫥
Betting on the Creator Economy, Syracuse University Opens Academic Center for Podcasters and Influencers
The shift in course offerings follows a recent decision to pause admission for 20 undergraduate majors, including fine arts and digital humanities.

This is a blatant first amendment violation
Kash Patel fired an FBI agent in training for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk while appointed to a field office in California last year. The trainee,who previously worked as an FBI support specialist in Los Angeles, received a letter claiming he had displayed an improper “political” message.

I get that not many people visit this page, but it feels like a testing of fences. Will a blatant violation of the Hatch Act be enforced? If not, they'll probably push this out to other websites

The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

I'm actually glad that military leaders were present in the room for this. I think it's important that the people who actually do things understand the priorities of their bosses and the disconnect between them
Trump to generals: "We have beautiful paper, the gorgeous paper. I said, 'throw a little more gold on it, they deserve it. I want the A paper not the D paper.' We used to sign a piece of garbage ... I want to use the big beautiful firm paper."

I think the craziest part of this tho is looking through lineup and seeing that it's mostly men who don't do that kind of stuff. Tons of a-listers, Bill Burr and Mo Amer probably the two that are most disappointing.
