I have no words that are fit to be said in a public space about what I just witnessed in the White House. I can not believe we are living out this timeline. I need a f’ing drink!

You know that @bsky.app is making it big when the Chinese Commies are complaining about losing followers. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

With Thanksgiving coming up it’s important to once again state an undeniable fact. Turkey is absolutely horrible. Outside of Thanksgiving when does anyone say “We should cook a Turkey this weekend”. Traditions, while important, should change for the sake of our palate.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: Putin invaded Ukraine 33 months ago. Fuck everyone like Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, & Trump who blames America, and not Putin, for that invasion. Fuck the whole MAGA “blame America for everything” crowd. And btw, Tulsi IS Putin. You can’t trust her.

Things I hope @bsky.app gets in time as they roll out changes/enhancements:
1) Longer video options. At least match the basic Twitter length of 140 seconds
2) An alert option to get notifications from your favorite follows
3) A spaces type option
No rush just hope they’re on a whiteboard somewhere.

Bluesky remains far behind Threads in total signups but has dramatically narrowed the gap in daily active users, a more prized metric, per new data from Similarweb. Threads has 14x Bluesky's user base but just 1.5x the daily actives. techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/b... by @sarahp.bsky.social

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running companies like Tesla Inc., SpaceX and Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

I think @bsky.app should do an annual fundraising drive like @pbs.org.web.brid.gy and even @wikipedia.bsky.social run. I give to both and would be happy to give here as well to keep the site running well and expanding. Not being owned by some billionaire calling the shots is quite an added benefit.

NEWS

Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement according to a statement from his lawyer Saturday and other documents obtained by The Washington Post.

Same post by CNN. @cnn-news.bsky.social Same time of posting. More interaction on @bsky.app even though CNN has 62.9 million followers on X vs 212,000 here. Seeing this with a lot of accounts. How fake is Twitter/X these days?

Have fun watching this place explode with this real time tracker as everyone exists Twitter. Not sure about you but I’m liking it already. bcounter.nat.vg
