i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

It’s hard to keep up with the constant evil and stupidity, which is by design. It’s meant to wear us down. Fuck it.

@reverendwarnock.bsky.social: "That [Trump] would use this moment - when bodies are still literally on the bottom of the Potomac and families are being notified - to advance his agenda of attacking DEI and Democrats speaks volumes. Not only is it shameful, quite frankly it's dangerous."

The biggest mistake salespeople make is they keep on talking after they have closed the deal.

It doesn't take long for buyers remorse to set in.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.

Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?

Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates
I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?

Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

How is this not the biggest scandal in America right now? Isn’t this unprecedented??
Maybe Dems in the Senate should take a break from voting to confirm Trump nominees & condemn the guy who said he wanted Pelosi ‘hanged’ on Jan 6th, & also condemn the guy who just released him from prison! Sheesh.
Trump gives top stormtrooper Stewart Rhodes a seat on stage at his speech, in case you thought he was done with January 6

It really is quite touching.

I haven’t seen something bring people together like the UnitedHealth CEO assassination since the release of Pokémon Go.

Do you get it by now? The only angle we have is to portray Trump as weak and to get him to be seen as weak, which will make him weak.

If we keep sounding the alarm about how dangerously powerful he is, we’re just making him more powerful and playing into his hands.

Video game characters are not actually real. They don’t bleed, they can’t get their feelings hurt, they can’t be betrayed because they are a collection of pixels and code and words and sound files.

The game devs I’m lucky to work with are real people who deserve at least basic human respect.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!

No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

My advice to anyone on Bluesky—or any social media platform—hoping to build an audience or community: focus on your writing, your work, what you can bring to the table via your background, expertise and perspective. Far too many feeds spin their wheels complaining about other feeds with empty snark.

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
