i wonder if a sufficient number of viable democrats have it in them to effectively counter a narrative of "i am tanking the economy, firing everyone i can, and sending soldiers to push you around if i dont like the way you think, and also lee greenwood is the only music allowed"

the bad news is I am going to be without my computer until the weekend. that means no internet, no TV, no games.

the good news is that my nearly entirely new desktop will let me edit faster, render faster, and play the latest games.

time to pick some books from the shelf.

a shame I didn't download all my tweets from twitter. regularly mass deleted with no backups and then thankfully banned. but still, would have been nice/cringe to read my old bad takes from 2010.

I’m really happy people are enjoying the video. As you might’ve been able to tell…it was very personal. Truth be told it’s only half the story, I’m still dealing with the mental scars left behind by the experiences I describe, the self hatred, the fear of rejection.

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

Show people this clip. This is an insane slip up.

i am not proposing an "invite-only to public" app, but an invite-only app. i am not proposing an app run on "investor" money either, but donations.

you're arguing against points not being made, and I'm not going to take a position I don't hold so we can continue this argument.

again, have a good one, and that's it.

Leon Thomas @renegadecut.bsky.social · 1d

i know it didn't say "a democrat" couldn't win and neither did i. it said *kamala harris* was not popular enough to win.

"if kamala harris' voter turnout were higher *and* trump's voter turnout were lower, she would have won" is not an argument in favor of her popularity. it's an argument against.

I guess we shouldn't be all that surprised that "the next twitter" is becoming the next twitter.

bluesky was best when it was invite only, but based on the recent actions of the mods, their true colors would have come out eventually, regardless of the size of the app's population.

feel like the solution is an invite-only microblog app with a non-crap mod team. run on donations like wikipedia.
