behold, JD Vance's Bluesky account in a nutshell:

(lmao, so much alt text...)
A six panel-comic entitled "Wondermark", by David Malks. The comic demonstrates the bad-faith debate topic known as "sealioning" in a humorous way. Panel 1: Two men are talking while driving in a car. <Man A> I don't mind most marine mammals, but sea lions? I could do without sea lions. <Man B> Don't say that out loud! Panel 2: A large sea lion has appeared behind the car. <Sealion> Pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear... <Man B> NOW you've done it Panel 3: The sea lion is now directly behind Man A. <Sea lion> I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any sea lion has ever done to you? Panel 4: The two men are now at a bar. The sea lion is still there. <Man A> GO AWAY. <Sea lion> There's no need to raise your voice, I'm right here. I'm just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion? Panel 5: Man A has gone home and is in bed. The sea lion is still present. <Man A> You're in my HOUSE. <Sea lion> You made a statement in public for all to here. Are you unable to defend the statements you make? Or simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion? Panel 6: Man B joins Man A in the kitchen for breakfast. The sea lion remains. <Man B> Told you, dude. Sea lions. <Sea lion> I have been unfailingly polite, and you two have been nothing but rude. <Man A> I AM TRYING TO EAT BREAKFAST. <Sea lion> Very well, we shall resume in an hour.

A poster for the 2006 movie "The Wicker Man" starring Nicolas Cage. Cage is depicted in a suit, with an enormous STRAW MAN looming behind him. The tagline reads "Be careful what you search for..."

Also Trump illegally federalized the National Guard, over the objections of the governor and mayor, and is illegally deploying 700 Marines. He claims he can do this because one guy tossing rocks equals an ongoing rebellion in LA. I guess he thought the guys on the right here were "very fine people".
A printed image depicting the Boston Massacre of 1770. Armed British soldiers on the right fire their muskets into a crowd of mostly peaceful protestors who had been throwing snowballs and, allegedly, a small number of rocks. Two of the protestors are injured or dead.

Image of Lenny from The Simpsons changing a sign that tracks how long it has been since an event happened. This one reads "0 days without the Trump administration exposing classified intel".

President Zelensky reminding Americans what true leadership and diplomacy looks like. I especially admire the way he puts the victims and the first responders foremost - where the focus should be in a message of support.
Shame the same can't be said for the bluecheck vatniks trolling in the replies.
Tweet from Volodymyr Zelenskyy (president of Ukraine) on Jan 30, 2025, reading as follows: "Shocking reports from Washington, D.C., as an American Airlines jet and a military helicopter collided in midair. Our condolences to the victims' families and loved ones. We can see how the first responders show exceptional dedication during the search-and-rescue operation. Our words of support go out to President Trump and the American people during this tragic time."
