MY DAD (trying in his own ham-handed way to identify with me): "On Facebook, I saw today that the Democrats are now using AI to make ICE look bad.... I sure hope it works."
ME: 🙄<eyeroll emoji>
ME: Nobody needs AI to help ICE "look bad." Let's talk about fishing.
ALSO ME: I loathe fishing.

I confess, after her appearance on #TheView (which was the first time since 2016 that I intentionally watched an hour of network television), I, a lefty liberal, would actually vote for Marjorie Taylor Greene #MTG. I'm so proud of how she corrected the record on her supposed #antismetism.

#UncleFesterman can blame Dems for the shutdown... But he's gonna have to contend with the fact that Dems are not the majority party in any branch of Government and yet they are standing on business for the people anyway.

So I got really excited when I heard about #UncommonGoods because I was thinking " #Etsy for people like me" (as in, maybe I could sell my ornamental garden mandala boulders via their site because they are 100% unique, limited, etc. HOWEVER... [1/3] 🧵

Donate to #individual politicians — *NOT* parties, PACs or funds. Then let the corporations donate to whoever they choose. Then shut off your TV & mainstream social networking for 2 weeks before you #vote (having already done your research). This is how you bring #Democracy back for a fair fight.

So, I was reading about @bsky.app on #reddit and redditors seem to be under the impression that "nothing is ever really #deleted from #bluesky"
But isn't that actually true of reddit? I once had to "type over" (via edit) a post to get it to at least return gibberish in a mod/admin search...
