During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

A personally difficult story for us, but a necessary one.

My statement below, for the record [as an image+alt text, so it all fits on one page]. It's all I can manage at this time.

Hey @whatculturewwe.bsky.social or @cultaholic.bsky.social here in Canada, tonight's Smackdown appears to be on neither Sportsnet or Netflix. Where can we watch?

Her stories were widely considered to be without equal, a mixture of ordinary people and extraordinary themes.

Sitting by and watching the extermination of a people while our country sends aid to the ones committing the genocide isn't something my brain can seem to deal with. I know Canada is guilty of some horrible things but I need to think we can overcome. Or despair. Now despair is winning.

This should be the story tomorrow, and every day:

BlueSky now qualifies as a real social media platform.

I saw someone spreading anti-vaccine propaganda.

This is legit scary. Marsha Blackburn is openly admitting that her bill KOSA will be used to drive trans people off the internet.

But Democrats are lining up to support it, and LGBTQIA+ orgs have dropped their opposition. WTF WTF WTF

I just read about the Texas anti-abortion bounties. What in the living hell is going on? How can anyone support the current incarnation of 'the right'?

For the first time, being on Bluesky reminds me of being on Twitter. People are violently arguing with @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and @kurtbusiek.bsky.social that creators shouldn't control their own creations.
