Commentators go on about using the las to stop them. These people don't care. Would you have your lawyer send a sternly-worded letter to a burglar who stole all your stuff?

You have to wonder whether he has some kind of hold over them.

Why do these ghouls always have that 'try me!' smirk on their face?

Waiting for the other shoe to drop

It’s one thing to sneer at someone who has something you don’t want them to have; it’s quite another to reach in and take it from them. I think this incoming admin will be the latter.

Most of their so-called tech is built on someone else’s work. They don’t know or care how the sausage was made, as long as their idea catches on and makes money, that’s all that matters. Really is a case of “on the shoulders of giants”.

Listening to some Amiga beats on the MiSTer! #retrocomputing #commodoreamiga #misterfpga

Same here. All those “Commiefornia” dimwits can go and live in Idaho or Montana.

Saw one of those parked outside the local Walgreens today. Looked totally ridiculous.

It’s raining, it’s pouring! #sacramento #rain #atmosphericriver

Bots and OnlyFans pluggers. Getting the real Twitterx experience!

Remember that Trump may have got 50% of the vote, but only 29% of the eligible voting population voted for him. When the wacky policies start becoming laws, remember that up to two-thirds of the population didn’t vote for this.

And he got 50% of the people who came out to vote, not the total eligible population. There are 262 million eligible voters in the US, 150 million voted, so 112 million stayed at home. So 29% of the adult US population voted for him, hardly a mandate, as you say!

Looks like the bots have arrived on Bluesky. I keep getting likes from accounts with no posts, hundreds of followers and a profile pic with an attractive young woman. I’m blocking them as soon as I see them but it’s like whack-a-mole!

Also while the tree reflections in the river have ripples, the moon’s doesn’t.

Next time add some ripples to the moon’s reflection in the water, look at the trees. It’s a pretty obvious photoshop.

It will come in fashion again one day!

What happened to BBC news? Used to be genuinely balanced, but since Brexit it has become a pro-business, anti-union propaganda machine.

Groups like this are what social media was meant for. It’s so heartening to see Bluesky bloom like this almost in real time.

So virtually everything is made in and imported from China, but the incoming admin want to tariff the hell out of them. Either they are dumb as bricks or this is all theatre.

Why are Amtrak croissants actually bread rolls in the shape of a croissant?

Billionaires are just temporarily embarrassed poor people

Not sure if I should comment… oh ok! 👍

Orchestra night! We’re getting ready for our Christmas concert next month.

Atmospheric river incoming! #rain #autumn #sacramento

He’s looking particularly orange in that photo, isn’t he?

Okay… who did this? 😂

Well whoda thunk it!

Couldn’t have put it better myself! That smug ‘you can’t touch me’ grin gets my back up.

Interesting debate about Bluesky on KQED public radio in San Francisco right now
