First reported by @ursulaperano.bsky.social, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)’s personal Wikipedia account is currently banned sitewide because he made too many edits about himself, including on his own page and by adding himself to the notable alums list for his alma mater

Double side sticky tape beneath the monitor would fix all these problems Mike. And it’d still look cute

Girl brain it looks kinda cute

Now trying to sustain accounts on Threads, Blue Sky, Twitter, Instagram. It’s called being a woman in STEM

She’s BUSY

Now hear me out. This shit would be funny

Jerry and Kramer meme Jerry: Kramer what’s going on in there? Blue Sky logo Kramer: We’re skeetin Jerry

A black cat looking up

Another good thing about bluesky is that I can post 601 pics of my cat in a day and people could still see them all. Might try this

insanely funny that this movie has now entered geopolitical relevance in this way.

No — should I meet alf

All Bluesky needs to succeed is one good “30-50 feral hogs” moment. Who is working on this

What’s fun about Bluesky is that I’ve been here a few weeks and yet I am an elder. Respect your elders

She’s hiding from the news

Far Right Turns on MTG—and MTG Hits Back in Text to Gaetz The far right has noticed the Georgia Republican has been aligning herself more with Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But she isn’t backing down—and is putting her critics on notice.

New: The far-right is turning on MTG. She's not taking it lightly.

“[Bannon], Loomer, and any other POS attacking me will not beat me" MTG said in a txt to Gaetz
