I think Bluesky is a great platform and I’m here to stay. However, a bookmark function would make the experience SO much better and much more functional for research/ information gathering, especially for reporters. Pretty please @support.bsky.team @bsky.app ?

What bothers me most about the celebration of the SCOTUS and John Roberts is that they only did so after being guaranteed an "unconditional discharge after a brief virtual hearing". Let's be clear, SCOTUS deserves no awards for bravery when taken in context.
Today is a highly, highly unusual day. I’m thanking Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
The sanctity of a jury verdict must be respected.

In this day and age, living in a place that
- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,
- you have family/friends,
- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse
is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.
So maybe don’t be an asshole.

At the latest press conference, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass debunks MAGA propaganda that there is no water to fight the wildfires and that the tanks weren't filled prior to the fires breaking out.
Does MAGA ever stop lying?
