So here’s my take: I came here from Twitter to get away from all the shittery. I’m not going to automatically follow anyone just because they’re rabidly anti-Trump, or Poilievre, or whatever.
Let’s elevate the discourse, and shitcan the slogans and rhetoric.
Please.
Thanks!

With all due respect, sympathy from Americans is up there with “thoughts and prayers” after a school shooting.
America got what it voted for. So much for the bastion of democracy it once was.
Will Americans change what America is?
We’ll see.

I need a palette cleanse.
Too much time on twitter, and my feed has gotten more and more hate-laden.
Open support for Nazis.
Open racism.
What will become of us?

Not going to get (too) political here, but the leading candidates for LPC leadership have put out more substance in the last week than we’ve seen in the last couple of years, especially from the opposition.

Has Bluesky turned a corner for the worse? I’m getting a lot of what I think are bit follows. I’ve blocked the obvious ones, and I hope I’m wrong, but fear that I am not.

It’s time. It’s over. He has to know it’s over, right?
I mean, what other sign could be more clear?
Continuing means a total destruction of the Liberal party in the polls.
This is not football, you don’t get to tank for a good draft pick.

Seeing as Bluesky is in that phase of growth where users like nothing more than talking about the platform they are currently posting on, this live feed of EVERYTHING BEING POSTED HERE RIGHT NOW AS IT HAPPENS, IN 3D, will likely appeal: firehose3d.theo.io

Again, there is no algorithm on bluesky except in the “feeds,” so reposting as opposed to “liking” will help everyone find each other.

I could use one of these at work…..
“Yesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new.
He said to me, ′′no, that's the ‘friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them."
To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels.
Follow us if you’d like a friend! 💙

Orangeville Ontario now offering free transit and ridership is way up. This is the way.

Free transit actually is a thing, and you might be surprised where | CBC News
While public transit in many Canadian cities is struggling with rising fares and falling ridership, one Ontario community has more than doubled its transit use in the past two years. Orangeville has made its buses free, joining a list of much larger communities that have gone fare-free.

The ship was the pride of the American side coming back from some mill in Wisconsin. As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most, with a crew and good captain well seasoned. Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms, when they left fully loaded for Cleveland, and later that night when

Miss me with this. If the disagreement involves one side *winning an argument* and the other *losing their rights, lives, families or homeland*, then “staying friends” is a privilege of the former and not a priority of the latter
