What a waste of time! That's not how you DDOS BlueSky.
You DDOS BlueSky by posting "That's it! I'm going back to Twitter! I get more engagement there!🤡" or "BlueSky is dying!🤡" or "You call that decentralized? Pathetic! On Mastodon we prefer...🤡" and then the whole site is unusable for 3 days.
Cool!
There's a typo there, if you care.
"After taking up the co-host reigns" should be reins.
We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.
ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER
Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans
Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.
The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.
An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.
You're looking at velvet malachite, Cu2CO3(OH)2.
A few warnings:
Please resist the urge to touch it to feel how soft it is.
Absolutely /do not/ lick it.
Keep far away from any Supermen.
If a wingéd creature emerges, do not agree to any pacts.
Let's talk about the science here.
If he meant any of this he'd just retire from commentary because that's the only rational response to getting it this wrong, but instead he's just gonna endorse Vance next year because of under-the-hood articles about how he opposed the war
Rat jumping ON to sinking ship!
Oh no!
Alle nordmenn: se hvordan Tangen og hans botsverm tenker å stemme i generalforsamlingen i BP. Oljefondet eier 3%(!) av aksjene i BP, og dette er en stemme som virkelig betyr noe.

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series
We need a matriarchy run by lesbians with clipboards and earpieces who do not take any shit.
There are some important things to remember in terms of Awards-shortlist day etiquette. A short thread.
Even folks I really like and respect make some blunders on this stuff.
1) Allow people to enjoy the shortlist. Avoid dismissing the finalists (whomever they are) for at least a month.

Dozens of people in fatigues lined up in the Capitol Rotunda with signage demanding an end to the Iran War
Dozens of US military veterans were arrested at the Capitol today during a protest against the Iran War.

It looks so good!
The question is how much did Lori Chavez-DeRemer bet on the timing of her resignation?
Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features

the update

to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Y'all need to stop pretending that these moneyed tech people just recently became like this.
They've been far-right for a while. From the beginning.
Y'all just didn't want to hear it when their harm mostly affected Black people.
The new season hasn't even started and I'm already thinking: "how do they keep this so great and so fresh!"

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

If you go to an area that voted for Trump at 90%, and you reach them with the correct message? Slightly less than half will still vote for Trump. Happens🤷🏿♂️
But slightly more than half will not. Because their support for US racism was based upon a series of lies that are in opposition to their values
So when AI has replaced all the junior software coders of the world and the senior ones retire, who will be left to “fix” an AI when it runs amok? I feel like that needs to be addressed before we just let AI program itself.
It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.
