And now, after an eventful and empowering Saturday, followed by a chill and listless Sunday, I must return back to work. Le sigh.

Every day I am thankful that my interest in Pokemon is only mild because let me tell you, it is really Something to see a clip of that new Pokemon game and think “this looks like an okay game” then navigating to the comments to see “THIS SHIT IS SO BAD I COULD DIE!!”

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

almost every single one of the gov accounts that got created today have kicked off with some message blaming dems for shutdown, they’re trying to turn back the tide of public opinion blaming them, just block them

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 2d

looks like it is, block them anyway, depriving them of oxygen is an extremely effective strategy

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 2d

it’s not impossible that this is legit, but it’s unlikely, they’re not using the domain verification, block them either way

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
