The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Ich sage es noch einmal: Der Hessenboss, den bundesweit keiner wahrnimmt, ist rhetorisch und ideologisch der derzeit radikalste hochrangige CDUler & ich habe echt Bammel, wohin die Reise geht.
Ein Protestbündnis aus der Mitte der Gesellschaft pauschal als „Gewaltmärsche“ zu diffamieren und zugleich zu NS-Parolen und offenem Rechtsextremismus der AfD-Jugend zu schweigen, ist politisch weder klug noch nützlich. Den Schaden dieser Strategie wird die Union selbst und das ganze Land tragen.

To be clear, we're talking about a *literal* take-no-prisoners approach. This is not a metaphor. We're describing the Secretary of Defense in literal terms as a guy who is genuinely committed to doing war crimes

![Excerpt from letter from JRR Tolkien:
“I am doubtful myself about the undertaking [to write The Silmarillion]. Part of the attraction of The L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background: an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing the towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed. (Letters, p. 333)”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l7cptlmb6koqqll74lnypbmu/bafkreibxe2p2flnm5tng4ixbesr53ceqoysmo6zklpk5okuxdbbl55h47e@jpeg)

my fundamental issue with Wicked is that the brilliance and power of the Wizard of Oz movie (1939) is that *Oz is not a real place*
it is the dream of a young girl whose life is already a tragedy (parents dead) and is going nowhere fast (stuck in Kansas, town controlled by Gulch/Wicked Witch)

A really funny bit on it is part of their justification for having an empty train run instead of allowing passengers on is because they believed that allowing passengers on would harm service performance

oh this is absolutely what i think. i think they feed him fake polls and outright AI slop
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly
