Gay guy making his way in a not-so-gay world these days. Gamer, election junkie, Redditor. Cautiously more optimistic about AI than most people seem to be. Progressive, but not lefty. I follow anyone named Colin on principle.

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Lawyer: And if you could, Mr. Novak, read the Bluesky post that says you'd betray your own country to join the Canadian resistance against American imperial aggression.
Me: Okay, but it's written in the form of a hypothetical courtroom.
Lawyer: Yes, but this is a real courtroom.
Me: Well, not yet.

I know, I've said this before, but: if Joe Biden made Selena Gomez a "special government employee," she blocked all appropriated funding for ICE and their grants/contracts, and then started posting about how DHS didn't exist, nobody would doubt that was all unconstitutional and illegal.

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

Yes, the 2024 election was close. But if enough people believe it wasn't, Trump could have a mandate anyway. abcnews.go.com/538/2024-pre...
The 2024 presidential election was close, not a landslide
Donald Trump's close win over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election hasn't stopped him from claiming a mandate.

I tend to comment on other's posts more than posting myself, but if anyone has any recommendations for short-sci-fi, good fantasy artists, or people from "gay twitter" that have moved over to create a "gay BlueSky", I'd appreciate that. As well as politics, for better or for worse.

Going to be transferring more over to BlueSky post-Trump victory. As X continues to become less and less usable, I think BlueSky may be a good shift for mental health.
