Of all the things that surprised me in 2025, I think the biggest surprise was just how popular being on the wrong side of history became.

#Popehat aka Ken White destroying #NateSilver… “Bluesky. It can be a happy place. An exciting place. A popular place. But every day, for some pundits, it is not a safe place. Every day pundits are abused. Taunted. Disrespected. Their contributions are unliked. Their Substacks are unread…”
Screencap of a Legal Eagle video on Nebula, titled “Trump Nominee Vows to Violate Court Orders”, showing some Bluesky posts from February 14, 2025: Quoted post by Ari Cohn (@aricohn.com) with a photo of Emil Bove, a Trump lawyer who looks Nosferatu in a bad disguise: “Emil Bove truly looks every bit of the cartoon villain he is” Quote-post by Popehat’s Interests First (@kenwhite.bsky.social): “This fucker would get ejected out of a mass grave for ruining the vibe.” Reply by Popehat: “But more importantly he’s a corrupt fascist.”

The rare day where my social media is not dominated by @kenwhite.bsky.social and those with whom he engages.
#PopeHat
If the Vatican can't give the World a pope whose base name is Pizzaballa, what are we even doing here? #Popehat #NewPope
The best thing about a #PopeHat thread is he leaves you this teaser at the start of the day, we all have our laughs and make our jokes, and then come evening time he goes ALL IN.
Wait, given the subject matter, that may not have been the best word choice.
Nuts. Gotta figure out mundane clothes to wear tomorrow as my group got called for jury duty.
Wonder if a #Popehat shirt will fly?

#PopeHat Edition
Quote-post by Domestic Enemy Hat (@kenwhite.bsky.social): “Mr. Ryan, the problem is that you’re still pulling this out of your ass. Nobody branded you a Nazi. Someone put you on a blocklist called “right wing propaganda” that uses a “no Nazis” logo. Moreover, any reasonable person would understand…..” — Quoted post by Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter.bsky.social): “Having learned more about 1st Amendment law from @kenwhite.bsky.social, I hereby retract my claim of defamation for being branded a Nazi by being put on this blacklist, and instead assert that the claim is wildly false and was made with malicious intent to harm me personally and professionally.” Embedded screenshot of “Right wing propaganda and their followers” blocklist by @numb.comfortab.ly
Post by anonymous user: “Genuine question: I don’t know who he is. Is Ryan a right-winger? Is he anti-trans or…?” Reply by Joé McKen (@joemcken.net): “From a cursory look, he’s a NYT writer who has Legitimate Concerns About Biological Truths™ and posts a lot about The Risks And Regrets Of Transitioning®”
Profile of Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter.bsky.social), who has blocked me. The name is red, a result of being labeled “anti-trans” by the browser plugin Shinigami Eyes.
