Amazing @brighteyesband.bsky.social concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle tonight! @conoroberstreal.bsky.social is hands down one of (if not THE) the greatest lyricists of our time.

This is an informative site. Ever wonder how much your state receives for every dollar sent to the federal government? I found this surprising and irksome.

Sidenote: if you ever watched Yellowstone and caught the many CA "failed state" insults by its MT characters, this is especially informative.

The White House Spanish website (www.whitehouse.gov/es/) has been removed and a prominent link to “go home” takes you to a promo video of Trump. 😢

The newfound political censorship on TikTok (post-ban revival) where tags disparaging Biden are allowed but Trump are not has some serious “1984” vibes. IYKYK

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
It is not free speech when Trump aligned oligarchs have their thumbs on the algorithms of all the social media apps.

Still finding my way around Bluesky but my day 1 impressions are:

1. This is the app you would get if X and Reddit had a baby.
2. Friction around understanding communities/topics seems a bit too high.

Hmm. Trump promises to go to Mars the day after his buddy Musk's Starship--a Mars transport-- blows up. (Thankfully no one on board.) 🧪 www.npr.org/2025/01/17/n...

New here! What is Bluesky’s censorship mechanism/policy? In light of politically biased censorship being seen post-TikTok revival I would like to understand this space more.

Road trip to Lake Louise/Banff a few weeks back. Couldn’t have asked for a better ride. Swapped the 21” stock wheels for 20” paired with a set of Blizzak tires. The ultimate adventure vehicle. #rivian #canada #roadtrip #skiing
