Bluesky is awesome, and I wonder if we were living in more precedented times if I'd be able to hang out here more. As it is, my HR goes up by about 10% after 5 minutes on here, so I have to do this thing very lightly.

It’s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesn’t care about winning elections and they’re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

I am simply not fucking okay with yet another liberal plea to sacrifice the lives of trans people on the same day we find the Trump regime caused another one of our sister's death and is blaming us for 42 million people losing SNAP benefits.

Apparently "Resolved, that this 115th Convention of the Diocese of Olympia affirm there is to be no use of Large Language Models in the creation of sermons, prayers, liturgies, or in the offering of pastoral care in the Diocese of Olympia; and be it further" was both not clear enough (enforceable?)

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.
At least 46 people have been killed in the attacks.

These are the merely the first set of people on Fifth Avenue that they've decided to shoot.
the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.
Trump’s victims are now washing up in Trinidad:
“The U.S. campaign targeting what it says is drug trafficking from Venezuela has exposed Trinidad to the fallout: unidentified bodies with burn marks and missing limbs showing up in its territory.“

Is anyone else not really fussed about gafcon leaving the Communion? They’ve always wanted to claim some ownership over what orthodoxy means, and that’s just not a good way to stay in community together. It’s always been so paternalistic, which I guess has always been the point. Ciao, I guess 🤷♀️
