Truly.
Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

Just a few minutes into ep 2 of #DeathByLightning and look, we're just going to need a standalone biopic of Chester Arthur starring Nick Offerman. Someone make it so.

Well geez. I'm surprised I can even see some of my own posts with this setting as the default! 😂
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

This week was the Trump regime taking loss after loss after loss. Just a steady stream of humiliation.
I don't have anything to add, I just wanted to remind you.

Twenty-four years ago, if you told people that the mayor of New York City in 2026 was going to be a Muslim man, a lot of people would have thought you were crazy.

I'm never running for mayor of NYC myself, so I'll say it: Staten Island can go eat garbage.
What is this having good feelings on election night, anyway? So strange I can't even find an appropriate gif.

So interesting with the army exercises in the Irish language! (NOT Gaelic, person who did the subtitles.) But of course it makes sense, at least for formal exercise events. #HATM

That brings us to tonight's #HATM questions:
1) Which three bsky followers do you want by your side during the zombie apocalypse?
2) And what is on the menu at your home tonight? (Is it brains? I hope it's brains.)
