This is pretty obviously trolling for people to flip out and swear at him so he can go back to Musk Pravda with screenshots demonstrating that Bluesky is a hysterical mob. Just block and channel your attention somewhere more interesting.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

To preserve our humanity, I think it's important to be offline more. The truth is we can get all the news we need in one or two sittings a day, and then decide what to do about it, one day at a time. Platforms like this one can be helpful, but like everything else in life, dosage matters!

Increasingly more open to moving abroad. Not now, but someday. Also, should probably start working on my Mexican citizenship process.

Cool. Musk probably already got what he wanted. Too little, too late.

After reading about today's senate hearings for Hegseth, I'm back to feeling that overwhelming dread I felt on election night. No bueno.

If Meta wants to become a Klan messaging service, I suppose that's their business as a private company.

But decent people should think hard about how their presence on facebook, instagram, and threads lends support to human rights abuses, and consider deleting their accounts.
New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill"

Is blogging still a thing? Did it ever go away? If it's still around, what's the best (free) platform? I'm curious.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Trumpy cousin sent me some Russian propaganda TikTok and I just said "Don't make me block you." His response? "Ok, have a nice day." 😂

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.
