What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

This is indeed a tough question. I think ultimately I enjoy consuming other people’s posts and pics than I enjoy posting myself. I used to enjoy it all so much more! Now my contributions to it feel kind of empty and pointless.
legitimately why are you here (on social media)? i am asking myself the same (other than because of addiction).

“The Gulf of America” thing is so stupid, it’s strangely comforting to me. I can’t really explain it. Maybe it’s that even if I end up being executed for the crime of virtue signaling I will have lived my life never, even at my stupidest, having been that dumb
