It's a breath of fresh air to pop back here after wading thru the nescient putrid scum of Elon's personal propagandist MAGA meat grinder. It's bizarre that Musk is in nearly every photo of Trump appearing on X. While Trump may believe he's using Elon, apparently, Elon thinks HE's running the show.
Who made this?🤣
Brilliant!
Prime Minister Musk

Ya, things look like they are going to shit. The upside to that is this: "The worser the better". When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Are you regular folk or are you mice? Because I see a bunch of survivors who've come from a long line who've made things better through sheer persistence.

It's just another Trump infantile insecure pathetic Trumpian attempt to belittle Canada — and make Prime Minister Trudeau seem small.

Trump feels inadequate if a foreign leader (or anyone) is more successful, younger, and extremely handsome — Trump's myriad of inadequacies are thus highlighted...

Rivian's had a slow calculated start in the EV market — the recent collaboration with Volkswagon makes good business sense—gives them more exposure. While Rivian stock remains in our risk portfolio, we fully expect Rivian to break thru as a solid brand all their own.

Trump destroyed the strong. healthy American economy that President Obama left him — no doubt he'll do the same with President's Biden's.

Biden's grade on the economy jumps to an A

pro tip: if you said nothing when Donald Trump pardoned donors, cronies, extended family members and war criminals, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up about Joe Biden pardoning his own son. just put a fucking sock in it

Bluesky engagement seems to be punching way above its weight

While Meta pushes Instagram users to Threads and X tries to shore up a disintegrating userbase, the plucky indie social network is picking up steam because people actually seem to be using it.

You won't be here, but for a moment.
Ya see, your MAGA circle-jerk toxic mentality
plays only in the mutual masturbatory
Trumpworld that Elon created just for you.

You won't find that here, mate.
We are, after all, your superiors.
December 1, 2024 at 10:16 PM
Enjoy the trolling while you can, Maga scum.
trust, us, your stay here will be brief.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are on this earth for a reason. It may be you are someone’s best friend, it may be you are the caretaker to a hurt animal, it may be you smiled to someone on the bus & so they made it through the day. But you are needed. Thank you for existing.

Kat Tenbarge interviewed me about the migration to Bluesky among journalists.

It's easy to see why it's happening.

It's easier to find news, harder to spread disinfo, trolls don't drown out the good content, and links are not deprioritized.

It's a breath of fresh air for journalism to thrive in.
Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

With every new announcement of Trump's picks, it becomes more and more certain that he's trying to establish the most corrupt Administration in US History.

Biden leaves Trump a booming economy, with the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, record stock market, manufacturing growth, and inflation under control

Thanksgiving at our upstate farm — the first time in almost a decade with all our kids and grands, and the wee greats together — along with cherished friends from the city, and in from London. No chef, no catering, homemade and homsespun with joy, laughter and love.

A cornucopia of gratefulness.

Bluesky is that proverbial breath-of-fresh-air.
Now, every time I cruise thru Musk's MAGA X circle-jerk
I feel I need to disinfect and shower.

X owner Elon Musk appears to be spooked by the continuous flow of users leaving the social media platform in favor of alternatives like BlueSky. It doesn't take much to note Musk is paying attention to the astronomic rise of Twitter alternatives BlueSky and Threads.
