So @PaulSeaton from @Pokerati contacted me to chat.

He called it "an interview."

Back in the day I used to call it "spending some time with someone you don't know."

Whatever.

I don't think he misquoted me, but I never remember half of what I say.

LOOKING FOR GROUND SUPPORT AT X

Can't you Bluesky folks send over, say, 20 people at a time, and rotate them out for a fresh 20 people every week?

This would prevent mental burnout and give us well-rested, alert keyboard warriors to fight the never-ending battles.
October 6, 2025 at 3:14 AM
Why do you all keep sitting over here on your soft asses?

You cannot ignore the evil, you have to speak to the evil.

I'm over at X getting my butt handed to me 24-7.
Are you gonna be Victor Laszlo or are you gonna own Rick's Cafe?

SOS.

We're losing.

We've gotta step outside this bubble.

We need to confront the close-minded at every front.

We must fight rhetorical fire with rhetorical fire.

We have to combat every fiction with actual fact.

And if facts don't trump fiction, we won't have a democratic republic any more.

I have largely abandoned BlueSky because it is an echo chamber.

I have reluctantly continued to traffic on X in an attempt to call out the untruths that taint the platform.

Frankly, it feels like a losing battle, but I cannot sleep at night (or during the day) just letting the bad people run wild.
