Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people.
Identify those people and block and shun them.

This is a must-read and is also the first comprehensive post mortem I’ve read working off the vote cast data (which is the real deal) as opposed to the dubious exit polling.

Starter packs are good to get people into the basic mechanics of Bluesky, but we really need Expansion packs with some of the more specialist Posters so people can really appreciate the tactical variety the app has to offer.

Let me be clear that I still think we should axe the filibuster, even when “my team” is in the minority. Let the winners of each round have the best shot at realizing their goals, then reap the rewards or comeuppance they deserve.

A priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a bar. The bartender looks at the rabbit and asks, “What are you doing here?”
The rabbit shrugs and answers, “Autocorrect.”

It’s really just that when the right is talking about tech they are talking about the employees and the left is talking about the bosses. Everything becomes legible under that construction. bsky.app/profile/radl...
