I’m sorry about this. Navigating it all can be overwhelming. Lean on others where you can. I hope the right opportunity shows itself soon.

OK, this whole thread is amazing, but I'm quoteskeeting this one in particular because I hadn't heard of "self-reported lifespan" as a measure before and it makes so much sense

A political party that stokes anger without proposing solutions is not a political party.

It is a mob ripping apart the hard fought framework of our country and society.

Sounds like a good time!! ❤️🌈

I’m just gonna say this. I am PISSED that, of the many legal channels for recourse and despite the established patterns of “45 and co.”, the Dems just laid the f down in the aftermath of a highly suspicious election result. I really don’t have a political party that’ll protect my rights or care. 😡

It’s Monday, January 6, 2025. Four years ago, he gathered his mob and sent them to the Capitol. He told them to go peacefully and FIGHT LIKE HELL! I will never forget. And I will never forgive Senate Republicans for not convicting him during his impeachment trial.

it's called christmas because of a dude named christ who liked to live mas

An American Sickness by Elisabeth Rosenthal

I believe the “Rosenthal, Moore” citation is Elisabeth Rosenthal and Michael Moore ie. Sicko (2007)

There needs to be a news outlet that favors public disclosure. Every major media had the manifesto, happily quoted from it, but refused to publish it in full. Media paternalism at its worst. I'm trying to do something different and hope you'll subscribe: www.kenklippenstein.com/subscribe

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk’s Many Years As An Illegal Immigrant This carefully researched and sourced series investigating Musk’s immigration status from 1988 through his receipt of US citizenship in 2002 reveals shocking new details about the world’s richest man.

This, below, is the longest report I’ve published on Elon Musk.

It’s a novella in and of itself—despite being only one of my many fully sourced, professionally researched Musk reports as a bestselling historian and biographer.

The reason it’s so long is because it covers many different subjects.

I’m not ready to click the button yet. But wow, Gmail. Way to point something out. #election

I know the Morning Joe hosts have claimed their rather abrupt reversal was caused by fear of retribution. Give me a break. The groups that are really the core targets of the regime’s lust for revenge and ideological crusade do not have the option of getting paid handsomely for sucking up to Trump.

The image is a tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) that reads: “This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading. To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.” Below her tweet is a quote tweet of CNBC (@CNBC), which states: “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair [link].” The CNBC tweet is timestamped 14 hours ago from the time of the screenshot.

The best way I've actually found diverse viewpoints online is lurking in a variety of different "bubbles," not looking for some kind of social media battle royale.

MAGA put pedophiles, the elite, and business interests in charge of the country... while complaining about pedophiles, the elite, and business interests.

Until there’s a liberal media apparatus, the Democrats will live in Trump’s America Kamala Harris did not lose the election because of things she said. She lost because of things Donald Trump said she said.

The volume of the rightwing media apparatus is so loud that it can feel like the ultimate arbiter of our political reality.

This is Trump’s America. We’re just living in it. Until there’s a liberal media apparatus, one that meets bad info w/ good info, Dems will continue living in Trump’s America.

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative (Gift Article) Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

“After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.

Free from Elon Musk, and his tedious quest to turn X into a right-wing echo chamber where he and his friends are the permanent, inescapable main characters.”

My favourite one is 'Quiet posters', which shows you posts by people you follow who don't post very often.

Since I've been here for a while… here are some useful features on Bluesky that you might not have discovered yet! 🧵

Been seeing a flood of bizarre think pieces about how Bluesky being an echo chamber/too easy to curate is bad, which is mind boggling. When you hang out with friends do you intentionally invite a few assholes to “broaden your horizons”??? What’s the harm in having a feel-good social media?

I thought I had imposter syndrome but it was someone else.

hearing women stage whisper explaining the plot to their boyfriends in a packed wicked screening... revenge for 15 years of marvel movies... music to my ears...

Yeah our teacher definitely had to sign out the TV cart with the vcr.
