Honestly, the great thing about AI is it’s going to free up so much spare time for us to be misinformed and out of work.

Hi @bsky.app
If you want this to be a global platform, how about trending topics reflecting the other 96% of the world's population?
The domination of this site by American news and American topics is one of its greatest drawbacks

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.
But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

Charlie Kirk died in the America he wanted
I mourn the loss of human life. I feel compassion, empathy and grief at an inexcusable killing. But I find nothing to lionise in his legacy.
