Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

👏👏👏👏👏
It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.

How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office
From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.

I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Breaking: It's official.

NBC News projects: Democrat Derek Tran wins California's 45th Congressional District. This is a flip for Democrats.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.

Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.

It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.

Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

Just because we lost an election doesn’t mean we were wrong. We’re still in this fight together.

The fact that China doesn't like people switching to Bluesky seems like another sign that it's a great thing

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

Day 21 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii) has both teeth on its underside and "blood" on its top!

The "blood" is extracellular fluid, which is squeezed out when the fungus absorbs water, increasing pressure until the red fluid is squeezed out!

Last night I made the mistake of posting after I had a few drinks and was in a bad mood. I didn't post anything bad really but it's just never a good idea.

I hate when white people get on here talkin about how much they “don’t understand” Kendrick and Drake’s beef and how it’s just two rich guys fighting over ego. It’s so much easier to shut the fuck up than to do that passive aggressive bullshit. ITS NOT FOR YOU THATS WHY BITCH.
