I hate (gestures at everything) all this for many blatantly obvious reasons but one not insignificant one is that it's made my Bluesky feed very grim and very sweary.
Really hoping things will turn around before old age claims me.
My insta is less grim. Deliberately. Honest.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.
Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

An authoritarian leader praising the “good work” of the White House Press Secretary, and her public thanks in return, shows their shared values. It should be a warning to us all.
