I agree. I received better customer service from Ghost.org (yes, its a nonprofit tech co) than I have from almost any other enterprise, ever. Ritz Carlton level service. And the stuff works. It's easy. The resources are great. No need to sit next to Nazis. What's not to love?

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.

I have friends who are genuinely confused when I point out to them that being politically engaged is a luxury item lots of folks don't invest time or money into. They don't think deeply about politics until and unless it directly affects them. It's an alien thought (and I get it!), but it's true.
Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.
There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.
And we absolutely can reach them.

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

I had a #Costco membership even when I lived in a studio apt. Some things aren’t so bulky to store. Others I’d split with neighbors by pre-planned purchases. I find the membership pays for itself in a couple months or less, esp. with some pizza lunches for $2/slice, travel svc., etc.
We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”
Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

This song I’d never heard came on at the #gym, but it didn’t sound like a song, just words. So I was thinking “what kind of weirdo is having this conversation about a smelly sweater on #FaceTime at the gym?!”: Meryn Cadell - “The Sweater”. I want my #yachtrock back :)

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

In #WesternWashington state and the #Seattle area, a forecast of a “light dusting of snow” usually means 1/2 to 1 foot or more. With notable exceptions “historic blizzard” means fair skies. Please forgive me for actually writing out the worst obscenity in the English language: sn*w

The TIFFANY PROBLEM occurs when a historical novel or film contains details that seem too modern to be true but are in fact correct for the time. The name Tiffany is one such example, it dates back to at least the 12th century.
