Sure, dismantling government programs for the most desperate and needy is awkward, but have you seen the price of eggs? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...
In Marin County, There’s Trouble in Teslaville (Gift Article)
Tesla’s sleek electric vehicles used to be a status symbol in liberal Mill Valley, Calif. Now, they are despised by many — including those who drive them.

You crumpled like a tissue. You obeyed in advance. You were too scared to fight. Resign your post.

We must not give them one.

Wait, @radiofreetom.bsky.social is stepping down from The Atlantic Daily? Was this known? How will I be able to wave my ipad at my wife all grumpy saying "You need to read this" without him?

Oh Carl Sagan. On the one hand, I’m glad he did not need to see what we became. On the other hand, he already saw what we were becoming.

Guys this isn’t an “Oh no, we told you so” situation. Everyone knew. They didn’t care.
President-elect Trump and his allies disavowed the conservative Project 2025 during the election.
Now, his transition team is turning to Project 2025 to help staff the next administration, sources tell @nbcnews.com.

I am wholly supportive of finding your people and your tribe and a safe space to share your whole self with them.
But what’s the endgame? If we and “they” do nothing but talk to each other, we choose to never recover the ability to have discourse and discussion.
There must be space for both.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
