One thing that makes this place a better option for anyone wanting a more conscious social experience is its "opensource-ness."
It gives us a level of freedom we haven't had since the MySpace era. I missed that.

Thanks for putting this all together Nick!
Although I think this letter is a very fair point of view, in all fairness to @cameronkroetsch.bsky.social , he did say he was going to do things differently than had been done in the past, and that is what people voted for.

Last week Trump claimed he “ended” DEI in federal aviation.
Now he’s still blaming it.

Trump’s plan to end the Ukraine war was an all caps tweet threatening tariffs on a country we barely trade with? How embarrassing.
Making a ridiculous post about tariffs on Truth Social was his secret plan to end the war in 24 hours? What a ridiculous clown show. Idiocracy.

The company that was handed the contract to provide these shelters, are having them made in China, and shipped via an American company. This company is two people and was formed 3 months ago, and they aren't responding to questions. Something is fishy here.

We have someone running in the ward 4 school trustee election who appears to be heavy duty on the anti-woke, Christ is king side of things.
Her focus seems to be more parent involvement and transparency about what is going on in classrooms.
Please vote sane ward 4 people.

According to the CBO, extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich would shrink the economy over the long run.
Extending the cuts would also increase the deficit by $4.6 trillion and be used by Republicans as an excuse to gut programs millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
