Science, measurement, books, videogames. Your neighbors are probably fascists.

The ironic thing is the actor is Ben Stein and he’s a trump supporter

“Jacob,” he said, imploringly. “Old Jacob Marley, tell me more. Speak comfort to me, Jacob!”

“I have none to give,” the Ghost replied.

Have you seen who the next president is going to be?

We've been lucky and it hasn't been very cold at night recently, but that's not going to hold up forever!

#ProtectTransKids from fascism but also the weather!

aside from the ever looming threat of running out of my medical supplies, the heated blanket we got Dalila has not survived very long.

Another thing we got boots paradoxed on because we didn't have the time energy and money to research and acquire something that wasn't crap. 😭

Looking forward a couple of years to print editions of the WSJ celebrating "a return to principles" like cooking your oatmeal over a wood fire and bartering with your neighbor for generator fuel in exchange for sex with your granddaughter

I do always appreciate a concise packaging of the blindingly obvious truth that nevertheless seems to escape attention, somehow...
"At long last, the privileged elites have been defeated. And by who? The perfect heroes, of course. The ultimate anti-elites. The champions of the average worker. The most relatable folks on the planet: the billionaires."

Finally, the Elites Have Been Defeated by the Billionaires

MAGA is going to chase you over here. They'll chase you where ever you go on social media. They can't survive without making you miserable. Why do you think Truth social failed? They need conflict. Don't give it to them and don't engage. Bluesky has amazing block functions. Block them into the void.
The slow trickle of MAGA folks over here underscores how much their experience of online is entirely dependent on people getting mad at them. It also underscores how even they, given the option, would rather not hang out with themselves either.

Apparently Trump just announced he is unilaterally ending birthright citizenship.

I would have ridiculed it as preposterous a few years ago.

Now? Well, watch the Federalist Society start holding seminars on why he’s right, and I am not confident this Supreme Court will disagree.

I think my deepest source of stress here is my preoccupation with Complex Systems. A society is about as complex as it can get. Anyone who has worked in simulation understands that even a small change at some step along the way can determine total collapse of whatever we're attempting to measure.

This pervasive tendency to normalize Trump is partly a coping mechanism (It cannot happen here, so it just didn’t!), partly a form of accommodating authoritarianism.

It blunts the response to the Trumpian takeover and perpetuates the idea that Trump is the tribune of the people. Disastrous.
I think certain political writers who are taking the stance “I think Trump is an authoritarian but it seems like people want an authoritarian therefore it must be good” can be ignored from now on

Ah yes, there's a "This is Trump's fault" jokey memey thing making its way through Bluesky.

Great job y'all, this platform is already toast.

Maybe the apocalypse porn thing was preparing the public to think that a complete societal breakdown would be more about the romances between hot people and the part about how it's been a few months since it all broke open?

Doesn't this feel like we're all just looking up at a meteor headed toward earth that's going to hit in a couple of months while we're out picking up our drycleaning?

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

Yup, as long as Trump is still in the picture he will continue to step on rakes because he has no discipline. That doesn’t prevent bad from happening, just slows it down a bit.

Why should I move? They’re the ones who suck.
Or just move to a country which shares your values. Way easier, and a bigger burden off your backs.
