I think its different for just regular people compared to "public figures". If people follow you because you are a source of news and information, you are forming the backbone of the platform, that is why other people want to be there. In that case, you are part of the problem with Xs influence.
My point is, they are not even trying to switch platforms. They've made their decision to help keep the Nazis relevant. Maybe they aren't worth following anymore.
I mean most orgs push out to several social media sites, often FB, X, and Insta. It's just not that complicated to push out to Bluesky as well. How else should I read someone's unwillingness to at least cross post to Bluesky except as full willingness to be a Nazi and porn bot collaborator?
Here's the thing; if people stop following them on X, they will stop seeing the value in posting there
I feel pretty well informed without it, tbh
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Is this March 8 story reposted today so we can see that Vance's "clearer" explanations are now totally clearly bullshit?
I don't know that you're ever going to get rid of the Tommy Tubervilles in America--wouldn't hurt to stop putting like football coaches up on hierarchical pedestals but different conversation--but we can most certainly create an environment where saying shit like that in public gets you shunned.
It's beautiful how he doesn't center the injury to his own image or his personal hurt, but focusses on the larger damage of this administration
What if it were legal -
not required, just legal -
for this 6,800 sf residential building on 0.45 acres,
10 minutes by bicycle from the Bethesda Metro & Purple Line entrances,
to have 4-6 units instead of only 1?
No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.
We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines
I feel like this % tracks for content in the toddler shows on YouTube, too.
"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
These are the people who decide for governments whose door gets kicked down and which children get dragged off to camps.
Adding gasoline price spikes to tariffs, healthcare cuts, ICE murders, and the Epstein cover-up threatens to drop Trump’s approval rating with Republicans below 95%.
So appreciate Senator Murphy here and just completely disgusted that my NY Senators have said nothing. This is the duly elected mayor of the largest city in your state. Your silence speaks volumes @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
two kids with backpacks walking bikes on sidewalk Kids who got new bikes "super excited" to walk them around the city that's too dangerous to ride in.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

Gas shipment disruptions in Qatar are pushing global buyers toward US LNG to keep their power plants and factories running.
The stupidity, it burns!

Impeach the motherfucker(s).
The Times study found that “300 billionaires and their immediate family members donated more than $3 billion — 19 percent of all contributions — in federal elections in 2024, either directly or through political action committees.”
This is good but doesn't really grapple with just how much farmland in the US is growing ethanol, so deforestation is not necessarily a given
Billionaires’ % share of federal election spending in:
2008: 0.3%
2024: 19%
