Closing browser tabs after my unnecessary thesis level research into carry on bags and the site keeps flashing “117 other people are looking at this bag, don’t miss out” Nope. I’m 97 of those open tabs also looking.

Tomorrow (and everyday) would be a great day to support Small/Local Businesses. Pay with cash but no credit cards in solidarity with the economic blackout. They can’t afford to lose sales.
They’re the backbone to your community.

The Trader Joe’s employee that flipped the music to Prince on a cold and grey Friday night deserves a bonus. I’ve never seen so many 40 something’s perk up all once. Like a siren song. #traderjoes #boulder

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Every day they claim they're finding vast amounts of fraud in the federal government.

Fraud is a crime.

They've made zero criminal complaints.

Odd.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter

The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.
The problem is you assume they want to "engage and have reals discussions on real issues." They don't. When confronted with facts, data, science, actual laws, and the like, they resort to spewing lies, disinformation and hate.
Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

@bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

Oh yay! Someone with the tackiest taste, no soul and only creative thoughts involve petty and cruel revenge has appointed themselves head of arts and culture. Next up Kid Rock and Underwood on stage again and again and maybe some YMCA.

Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair.

He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.
