And the reason why is @clearsky.app puts up the accounts added to a troll list before the creator was deleted and describes them as ‘subscribers’ even if you never subscribed to it. So anyone who see it months later thinks that you subscribed to it 🤦‍♀️

Stephanie McKenzie @stephaniemac.bsky.social · Mar 22

So this is why I keep getting blocked, some trolls added me to lists, I didn’t subscribe to them and blocked the owner whose accounts are now deleted. But somehow I still show up on these lists and some people are massblocking 🙄 @mistyswoman.bsky.social

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

An American walks into a bar in Belfast. He sits down and starts chatting with the guy next to him

Eventually the guy says "are you a Catholic or a Protestant?"

The American says "I'm an atheist"

The man replies "are you a Catholic atheist, or a Protestant one?"

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Unless they’re declaring him an anti-pope and installing their own guy in Avignon, they’re not “rejecting” him, they’re just bitching and moaning and forgetting who’s in charge of the church they’ve weirdly and ignorantly attempted to infiltrate. bsky.app/profile/wash...

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

My first reaction is if your partner’s politics were such a dealbreaker why did you even marry them and how did you not know about them before agreeing to do it? 🤷‍♀️
