Bluesky is a social media platform and presumably poisoning all of our brains like any other.
But every time something bad happens in the world the Skyline is suddenly filled with fun, interesting people saying "I guess I'm gonna post here more, wow, it's so not-rancid" and I appreciate that

This has been my experience as well.
We should use social media that doesn’t make us feel terrible and anxious. This is the one I’ve found for this moment. That might change down the line, but right now this is the best I’ve found.

"Standing for something really feels like it could work anywhere to redraw the boundaries, to move the positive and negative space into some new configuration less aligned to terrible lies, more aligned to great truths."
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...
The Extraordinary Power of Standing For Something
Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

If you are familiar with Reply All, but have no yet listened to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, listeners are saying the latest episode is a “banger”. You should maybe give it a shot.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

It’s almost like if you have convictions, part of that is convincing people they are just and worth supporting.

I'm genuinely confused by @ryanlcooper.com's "Deciding to Win" rebuttal in the Prospect.
For example, he observes that both Project 2025 and banning abortion are very unpopular.
I definitely agree with that. But what follows?
