Not like me. You're not like us.

I got on a ballot. W/o you. Hard part's cutting through Billionaires like you & Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel shouting over US

You and all these Billionaires are going to form a party with regular folks at heart?

My Cubes, please!
Just like you Jefferey. If the Dems wouldn't let you run, we would help YOU get on the ballot.
A weird thing about BlueSky is how contact recency is everything. Accounts seem to drop off and then they're just completely gone until I happen to realize the absence...

I don't feel like the feed does a good job resurfacing those, and I miss out on important life events. Anything non-broadcast

The cultural fallout from this era is going to be so deep, they're going to have to bring back serif fonts.

People said this was a product without a market but it turns out there are literally *several* illegal immigrants who also happen to have an extra $Million Dollars to burn to fix their immigration status.

Yes, it actually got so wild they cut Musk's mic (or there was some kind of connection issue that resolved completely with the next question 🤨)

#Optimus roughneck oil workers with a #Grok boss huh Elon? Cray
In case you missed it, Elon Musk explained on todays #Tesla earnings call that he needs to send money to Twitter, so he's giving Grok the job to coordinate Tesla robots.

Because that makes business sense and is not at all a graft to the media wing of his tangled self-dealing empire.

It's interesting all these AI companies are building around chat interfaces. Explain your next app for Claude in a few words. Ask ChatGPT a question and specify how you'd like the answer. Write a short description of the animation you'd like to create

So unless AI gets good at writing short text...

Timeline restored. But not for me.
It always feels weird to cry inside a dream. Those people are gone now.
Things feel...off somehow. I fear I might have hopped timelines again. You there, stranger, is this still the world where Nelson Mandela wrote the Berenstein Bears books? Did President Sanders still stop the war?

218 people voted to fund the child kidnapping ring and masked death squads.
218 with 7 Democrats voting for it, the DHS bill passes

Demographic crossover working at a Silicon Valley Lambo dealership must be intense. Two months ago it's 20-something LLM-AAS repackagers with broccoli hair, this month it's schlubby Gen-Xers who've been quietly fabbing memory and hard drives for 20 years to little fanfare..

Literally Gavin Newsom's, Tim Walz', J.B Pritzker's worst fear:
Black Panthers out protecting the hood
Bet ice wouldn't mess with anyone if these guys showed up
January 16, 2026 at 1:17 PM
Oh god, they're going to try to nice-away ICE

It's like watching some rare paradise with no natural predators get overrun by belligerent wild hogs
Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Ok, maybe this guy shouldn't be a Governor after all...

This IS who they are.

Who are you, Tim?

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

I had the opportunity to hear Claudette Colvin speak when I was on a high school civil rights tour (Thanks Mr Steinberg!)
He called her a (s)hero and she was an inspiration—one of many historic leaders we were lucky to hear from

Stand up. Fight back.
Or take a seat when you need it—don't apologize!
Claudette Colvin, who refused to move seats on a bus at start of civil rights movement, dies
Civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin has died. She was 86. Her 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement.

Why is @governorwalz.mn.gov resigned to this? If I had executive authority over an entire state...

I wouldn't be where Newsom, Pritzker and Walz are, that's for sure. It can get worse from here, staying this course.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Shooting back at a military occupation at Lexington and Concord started the American Revolution

This is just a military occupation. This is what started the American Revolution.

There's a fine line between "I'm a literal-minded person so I have a problem with social norms" and "I'm a literal-minded person so I have a Problem with social norms"
It pains me to see him go out this way. Because for a number of years Scott Adams successfully made himself the voice of a lot of geeky people stuck in corporate jobs. We laughed with him, and identified a little bit with where he was coming from. But that elevated him to a place where he lost touch
Scott Adams, 'Dilbert' creator and conservative commentator, dies at 68
The artist told fans in May last year that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His cartoon was dropped by hundreds of papers in 2023 after he made racist comments.
