You don’t need to follow me just because we were mutuals on Twitter. I won’t be offended. Seems like this account is mostly me getting in dumb arguments which I wouldn’t want to read either.

Crazy that people on this platform are so happy today considering what’s going on in Sudan. Must be nice not to give a shit about genocide.

I only remember to even open BlueSky once a month but whenever I do I am reminded that I’m quite fond of many of you wish you still did the tweets. A lot of other people on the site I think are not so good, but a lot of you I do miss.

This is a great idea for a podcast but it actually isn’t what ours is about.
You should have called it “How to help Trump and sleep at nights.”

Hello BlueSky! Here is something new many of you will hate. I’m doing a new podcast with Josh Barro and Megan McCardle about how centrism is good. www.centralairpodcast.com/p/welcome-to...

I’m disabled and I think I should have subsidized DoorDash but only me. The other circus freaks don’t deserve it.

The new Superman film is pro-immigrant, but it definitely isn’t woke. It’s a defense of assimilation. open.substack.com/pub/bendreyf...

My favorite moment of WelcomeFest was after Josh Barro finished his onstage conversation and sat down next to me and I was giggling and whispered “they’re really mad at you on BlueSky lol” and tried to show him my phone and he was like “I don’t care” and didn’t look

I fell asleep in a NYC cab once and woke up in a lot in east New York and there was this 6’ guy standing over me and he said he was an important journalist who was a top podcaster and they covered trans issues. And then he put a Heineken bottle up my ass. I woke up 3 days later in Rhode Island.

I’m not surprised the TikTok left has a crush on China. Luigi Mangione is going to die in prison so if your love language is murdering corporate executives, Xi Jinping is going to be the most eligible bachelor on your list not named Vladimir Putin.

I’ve seen a lot of really funny tweets from left wing TikTokers that are like “I wish I lived in glorious China where they respect freedom of speech, celebrate queerness, and people don’t have to work so hard just to scrape by!”
I imagine there are some funny version here. Please send me examples

When I joined BlueSky all these people blocked me and were not nice but then a few weeks later @jessesingal.com joined and everyone stopped talking about me. I feel a bit like Stalin, rolling around in hell, whining about how he doesn’t get to headline shows.

I fucking dare you to make this argument at the Supreme Court!
I will argue that the mutants who can shoot death lasers out of their eyes are not protected by the bill of rights because they aren’t humans and you can argue they are.
You will lose 8-1, maybe 9-0.

it’s actually very literally true and not metaphorical that a person who can shoot death lasers out of their eyes is still a person

The X-Men and every other mutant are a clear and present danger to humanity and of course must register their powers with the authorities. This would not be controversial. The bill would pass 99-1 in the Senate. Once we have a cure we also will force them to take it. This is common sense.

@mcatonj.bsky.social Hi Mr Caton-Jones, my name is Ben Dreyfuss. I’m a journalist. I’m writing a thing about one very specific part of Rob Roy which I don’t think anyone else has covered. I’d love to chat with you if you ever have a few minutes to spare! Best, Ben

There is nothing in the preliminary exit polls to suggest that Twitter swung the election to Trump. The groups most active on Twitter did not move towards Trump as much as other groups.
Musk and the anti-Musk left both pretend like the other did this but it’s just pretend

Last fall, @bencollins.bsky.social connected the dots on what many of us long suspected and what Musk confirmed today: that buying Twitter was always just a ploy to swing the election for Trump.

You can also just say this! This is honest. I am not asking everyone on this site to answer for the worst among them. Of course I’m not. I won’t defend the worst on Facebook or Twitter. I just want people to be more honest about how network effects are the main thing!
Yeah, it's not just filled with nice people. The biggest difference is that there are fewer Nazis, which is good. And this site tries to have a culture of not engaging with trolls.
But, I mean, there's 20-something million users on here. They're not all going to be sweeties.

Jesus Christ I am not asking anyone to block anyone. I just was trying to show that a lot of people on this site are assholes too like every other site
. I just would like people to say “I use BlueSky because my friends are here” and not “BlueSky is filled with angels!”

When I joined BlueSky a month ago I instantly got all these messages calling me a faggot. I then was successfully bullied off and logged out of the app. I remembered my password this week and would like to point out that I am still getting this

This is such horse shit lol. I played a scenario based paintball game with a friend, and revealed it to social media to explicitly show how reductive and stupid outrage online is! No one was hurt. No one did anything against their will.
Ok but this is also a celebration and mockery of violence
