This is a disgrace and an embarrassing retreat from a critical global leadership role. This will harm our national security, in case any commander-in-chief gives a crap about the US' national security. Some of the very deadly infectious diseases abroad will be on our doorstep that much sooner

Trump won a clear and convincing victory. But he and his allies are trying to pump it up into a "landslide," which it was not. With 49.997% of the vote, he fell short of a majority and his 1.6-point margin of victory is the third smallest since the 19th century. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...
The ‘Landslide’ That Wasn’t: Trump and Allies Pump Up His Narrow Victory
The latest vote count shows that Donald J. Trump won the popular vote by one of the smallest margins since the 19th century. But Mr. Trump claims a “powerful mandate.”

In another major fuck you to Elon Musk, I'd love it if Bluesky took ALL of the good ideas from there, and implemented them here -- bookmarking posts and edit button, longer videos, something similar to Spaces.

All the good shit.
None of the toxicity.

Drop your ideas, too.
Please and thank you. 🙏💙
