Ah, bluesky, the "but her emails" app

One Elite, Two Elites, Red Elite, Blue Elite | Erik Baker The class struggle in America today is anything but pure and simple.

A closely but deeply divided electorate has become the defining feature of contemporary national politics. @erikmbaker.bsky.social examines the complete decoupling of urban and rural America.

“Worried that the campaign was neglecting voters of color in Philadelphia and other battleground cities, organizers secretly gathered at a Dunkin’ Donuts and elsewhere to get out the vote.”www.nytimes.com/2024/12/07/us/politics/h...

The Bombing of Wall Street | American Experience | PBS The story behind a mostly-forgotten 1920 bombing in the nation’s financial center that left 38 dead and remains unsolved today.

Perhaps also a good time to revisit the American Experience episodes on the Gilded Age and the 1920 bombing of Wall Street before they officially gut PBS & wipe away all reminders of the longstanding struggle to try to make America great (& how elites hindered progress). www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

Some things you have to accept to a point. A form of monetization is coming unfortunately.

MOO PSI MOO!!

Opinion | How Tennessee Keeps Nearly Half a Million People From Voting The state’s process for restoring voting rights is a master class in undermining democracy.

Just learned: In Tennessee--among the many requirements in the near-impossible effort to regain your right to vote after a conviction--you must first convince a judge to give your gun rights back.

Yes. In TN, carrying a gun is a prerequisite to voting. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/09/o...

if you don’t take this shit back to twitter 😭

This is the neoliberalism that separates GenX and Millennials from boomers.

For GenZ neoliberalism is the norm, but Millennials and GenX grew up through the transition to it.

It's cute that he's pretending Red Lobster went under for reasons that weren't "having the copper stripped and sold by a private equity firm".

Remember when Elon overpaid for the Twitter brand by like 300% because he wanted his buyout offer to be a meme and when he realized that the numbers actually mean things he tried to back out and a court forced him to honor the deal and then he threw the brand away anyway?

People replied to this saying it was worth the price to him to destroy Twitter and such, and. He fought it. In court. It wasn't a clever ploy.

That he got some use out of it after he was stuck with it doesn't change the fact that he skidded ass-backwards into it with his pants on his head.

But young adults in Baltimore, who are already searching for places in the city where they can safely hang out without spending money or feeling scrutinized, question if the Inner Harbor is for them. https://buff.ly/3CoIHVg

Hey @aaron.bsky.team, I’m a Palestinian elected official and have been working to get my colleagues over here. Really like this place but structural discrimination against Palestinians is a deal breaker. Please fix this👇

intensely resist liberal invading forces are taking over bluesky

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Kyle Kuzma and now Rudy Gobert. I wonder which NBA player is going to give RFK Jr. a co-sign next? 😂

Elon Musk's AI turns on him, labels him 'one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X' His posts, it added, “can have real-world consequences."

Pilates?

Elon fucked up that app no doubt but one other thing that has turned it into a bastardized version of itself: people monetizing outrage and clout.

When daily arguments and "battles" are the primary fuel of the podcast/content ecosystem there is no incentive to not generate more outrage and anger.

All the black people finding each other on this app #blacksky #addtoblacksky

Aye? Don’t bring Obama over here, man.

I am here. 🥰
