Your intuition is correct.

Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

I did the same thing. I thought the commercials were annoying and not worth a second thought. But then I saw a video on here of them laughing for 2 minutes straight upon learning Riley Gaines got 5th place in that race she's still crying about.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

this reminds me very much of how musk would complain about twitter features needing to be fixed or removed whenever they posed a problem for him and/or the chuds he increasingly molded the site to serve

screenshot of a post from Rose, a member of the Bluesky team who’s been called out recently for following the Heritage Foundation

post text: “The ‘follow’ button confounds ‘I’m looking at your content’ and ‘I endorse this content.’ We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.”

Fun little side note is that one of my labelers indicates her as a JD Vance follower because of course she is

It's like if someone started a boat racing company with the intention of creating a Sea Steading venture.

But instead of ever getting to Sea Steading; they accidentally created a functional and relatively well liked Boat Racing League.

They resent their success because it inhibits their "dream".

a bksy dev following the Heritage Foundation would be an unpleasant surprise if you didn't know this place was created by and for libertarian crypto bros, and all the good things about it are an unintended consequence they have been trying to "fix" for the last year

i can’t be trusted to use the “before you react or engage—for your own mental wellbeing—maybe look more closely at this person, because it seems like they might value the opinions of men who believe you’re less human than other humans” information responsibly.

hi. i’m the problem, it’s me.

Yeah this has always been a massive cop-out for me.

"Oh these guys? I hate them and everything they stand for. I just follow their account so I can see more from them on the regular alongside posts by people I like and are friends with."

Even if that's true you should stop that.

I assumed you thought he was the best option because the sentence "At least Newsom is out here throwing punches" is undermined when you later admit others are also in fact throwing punches and could also be better candidates.

Bee 🐝 @cxyn.bsky.social · 7d

Then why say "So why isn't anybody naming candidates they like BETTER THAN GAVIN NEWSOM?" When you know that's not true? If you're aware other options exist that don't have Newsom's baggage, then why do you still think he's the best option?

Bee 🐝 @cxyn.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah you assholes keep saying that but anytime someone responds with Pritzker or Beshear it suddenly gets real quiet. I'd have a little respect for Newsom supporters if they could explain why posting AI slop makes him more qualified, but at best you can only pretend like there is no other option.

We already have an alternative. I agree the current school system needs reforming, but you'll never convince me that we must let parents abuse their kids in the meantime while we fix public schools.

Bee 🐝 @cxyn.bsky.social · 12d

Yes and it's not even close. The quality of the education isn't even half of the issue.

All I'm saying is they're absolutely going to cave because this is performative and it's not like this is some big revelation they're arriving at everyone knows what a shutdown is. Anyway. Any Dem keeping this shit open needs to go ASAP because they're funding an invasion on their constituency

This is all downstream of declining literacy rates, right? Like this isn't just some "kids these days" thing. People are choosing the method of absorbing information that suits them best, and a lot of people struggle with large volumes of text.
