Bluesky needs an account claiming to be a sapient tree, exclusively quote-posting people's photos.

Some pundit is going to write a take like "Election sends a confusing message as voters elected Democrats that we like and Democrats that we don't like."
But I'm trademarking the idea. I'm mailing this post to myself. So don't you dare.

the collapse of this bubble will be an economic catastrophe. but we need for it to happen as soon as humanly possible, because the fallout is only going to get worse the longer we wait. if you don't amputate a gangrenous foot it becomes a gangrenous leg.
