One thing I really dislike about BlueSky is that the heart emoticon is the only option. It’s moronic. I’d prefer a thumbs up. I cannot put a heart to anything relating to the Beast. But thank you for posting, though, Bob.

Despicable. I wonder if she remembered to unplug her curling iron before she caught her limousine to go make total strangers’ lives miserable.

One thing I did was disable re-posts, which though it slimmed down the posts of those I have followed, tended to leave more personal posts. Not against political posts at all, but at a certain point they just become noise. IMO.

I highly dislike that the only option is a heart for responses. Prefer the more neutral yet specific thumbs-up, if confined to one “option”.

While I’m mired in The History of Pendennis, for research purposes. Does not help that I’m a slow reader, but I credit that to my facility with language, such as that is.
