Hey @bsky.app @jay.bsky.team:

How’s the #edit button coming along?

Curious how many gazillion unnecessary posts, API calls, DB queries and ecosystem bandwidth would be saved by adding this?

Threads does it. Every user here I know is desperate for it.

Thoughts?

It WILL get much, much, much worse.

Wait until Trumpers corrupt the DOJ enough that it gets posting histories from social media companies and cross-references your PII used during registration with voter data to come after individuals because the criticized Trump online.

Yet another reason I never registered as a Democrat.

Fun fact:

New York gave America Donald Trump AND Chuck Schumer.

This is how America will lose the next war. And it will more than likely be with China. Why? Because Trump is an idiot that doesn’t understand how things work, and Hegseth is completely out of his depth and making decisions based solely on arrogance and personal ideology.

Do not fall for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “new attitude.” It’s just campaigning. Populism. Retribution. Never a genuine redemption arc. Just BS to gain power.

Oh please, people, stop buying this nonsense that suddenly she’s making sense and is worthy of praise. It’s ludicrous that people are now apparently giving her a pass after all the horrific things she has done to our country.

No forgiveness for that woman, EVER.

Sort of what it feels like to be an American right now.

A cautionary note in light of yesterday’s election result:

We are NOWHERE NEAR out of the woods. Yes, the results were a silver lining, but Trumpists still control the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.

Our Congress is broken. The Court is deluded.

There is still a LOT of work to do.

I suppose this is where I’m supposed to say vaguely civilized things about a former Vice President and SecDef.

Yeah… that’s not gonna happen.

Sorry not sorry.

Last time I checked, this was known as TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

This was just one of the many grievances that triggered the American Revolution, and one which “Republicans” seem so hell-bent on imposing on Americans today.

I’ll say it again:
“Republicans” hate the Republic.

This would be an act of war.

Where is Congress?

Oh right, it doesn’t work anymore because Mike Johnson is an incompetent buffoon.

God help us all.

Remember about 10 years ago when #Apple went on a crusade against #skeuomorphism and tried to banish its use across its all of its software and operating systems?

Well, guess what just appeared in the #iOS 26 Calendar app… I guess their designers got bored or something?

What’s old is new again.
November 3, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Pretty much.

Trump got owned so hard. And Republicans are totally protecting him.

It’s all so pathetic.

Basically this.
Ellen Woodbury (@pizzacakecomic.bsky.social) nails it.

What a bunch of brain-dead, uneducated hypocrites.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
