Take a moment and smile at the life you’ve lived.
The memories you’ve made.
You don’t do it enough.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

She is so unbelievably stupid; her naïveté is epic
If you’re “deeply wary” about Putin, having Trump on the other side of the negotiating table surely must alleviate those concerns. 🙄

A lot of Trump’s appeal comes down to the fact that people whose lives are boring & mediocre because they aren’t particularly bright, talented, or motivated, would very much like to hear a story in which actually it’s someone else’s fault.
oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Yes, old Twitter had better vibes and lots more fun sh*tposting about food, TV, and sports. Also, Barack Obama was president and we didn’t have fascists setting up concentration camps. This literally has nothing to do with Bluesky as a social media platform.
it’s true the vibes are absolutely dire on this website right now, but I also think this really isn’t Bluesky’s fault and there’s not much they could plausibly *do* about it
it’s just that the demographic of people who like Bluesky are having a real fucking bad time right now

Astronomers captured the first image of a rare double-detonation supernova that destroyed a white dwarf star 160,000 light-years away. Two blasts, two rings of calcium, zero star left behind.
