All social media, regardless of what it claims, is about compliance (follow trends, follow clickbait, follow party line) simping (find your hero and follow them obsessively & obediently)and ego (look at me, follow me, do my bidding) three things I’ve never been into.

Bluesky is no different.

I mostly stay on here because I like that there’s an alternative to all the fascist social media sites and I want to help keep it alive.

But now I’m thinking… eh.

Like if I wanted to have a bunch of people try to bully me for the crime of disagreeing with them, I’d just go to Twitter.

Like I’m realizing I don’t actually like a lot of the people on here. I spend more time blocking purity shit takes than anything else. Why am I here?

Why does Taylor Swift need to be worked into every news story right now?

Dinkins was the only non-asshole mayor of NYC in my lifetime.

“I believe Susan Collins can do more for her country by keeping the spark of Republicanism alive and giving it oxygen than by mere futile gestures.”

Thiel enjoyed the multiple times you officially featured him so much he’s returning on his own?

You’re also pushing Joe Manchin as a “maverick” and AI agents as ”revolutionary.”

Idiots who think they’re geniuses & who’d rent out space to Charles Manson as long as his check cleared….

Gwen Stefani joins Elon Musk, Morrissey, Russell Brand and Johnny Depp on the list of “people that my friends gave me shit for not liking but I turned out to be totally right about.”

Tom Barrack: Jeffrey Epstein scheduled multiple meetings with conservative financial operatives, inc. billionaire Peter Thiel and real-estate mogul Thomas Barrack, in the run-up to the 2016 election www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Why didn’t they do what they always wanted before now?

Because they did t have a weird reality show carnival barker cult leader like Trump to give them cover & whose fanatical followers’ threats extinguish thoughts of revolt

JD Vance will not have the same allegiance from the base or the elite.

JD is not “competent.” Also, he does not have the cult of personality that Trump does, not by a long shot. Instead of every Republican bowing down, every Republican is going to be trying to stab him in the back & take his job.

How many gravy seal trainees do you think got stuck in the pipe?
