Another fun day on Bluesky. I sure hope someone from out of state mansplains who I should vote for.
I’m not sure who you are replying to since they are already blocked, but kudos to you!
the strait of hormuz needs to have regular, predictable open hours or frankly they are going to lose me as a customer
She has about 13 people at a rally in suburban Portland. She’s dead in the water. Her only hope is Platner oppo leaks and that’s not working. So far.

I appreciate the time and consideration you are giving this. Sure wish Andrea had made the ballot.
Zohran Mamdani: "A democratic socialist politics … can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."
Hampshire and Bennington are great for the IDGAF High Schooler. Saw so many thrive.
David Harbour is sublime in his earnestness and the interplay with Bateman is 🧑🍳
I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.
It was between Hampshire and @benningtoncollege.bsky.social for me back in the 80s and I chose the latter, but often wondered if I made the right choice. Sad day for all who value free thinkers and non-conformity.
Time for ALL of them to get packing!
SWALWELL STATEMENT ON CONGRESSIONAL RESIGNATION "I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make. I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district."
Swalwell has resigned from Congress.
Pity. I have none.
Onward, California! ✊🏽

A lot of folks were talking about Pearkes' post about the fusion startup yesterday with skepticism, but the thing is we already HAVE a fusion reactor generating tons of power, we just had to start gathering it.
The Maine Wire is funded by two billionaire summer people who want to pit Mainers against Mainers to distract us from the fact that these greedy pigs are robbing us blind by rigging the economy to their personal benefit. andyobrien.substack.com/p/exposing-t...
