Look I'm just saying but if you want to feel really powerful and cool, doing ballet to the overture from Hocus Pocus on a cool night when the moon is just past full...might do it.

What the news is reporting is that Israel and Hamas both signed a first phase deal, which would stop the fighting, return all hostages, and return a bunch of Palestinian prisoners. But they are saying Trump is saying it, and no details on the time frame.

Thank you. That's the distinction I was missing- the difference between "I want to know when someone interacting with me follows these accounts" and "x person following y account means Bluesky is bad".

Appreciate the brain assist.

(I don't mean this to sound like accusatory at all and I'm sorry if it does, my brain is not functioning at full capacity today and I'm having trouble telling if I'm understanding or not.)

I am confused. Is the unhinged part that people wanted it updated to label people who follow the heritage foundation or is there context that I'm missing?

I am having a flash sale. One day only, and 50% percent off everything in the shop. This ...never happens? Fun time to explore the place if you were curious.

I remember when they first started getting footage of this years ago and the nature programs were showing it and it was like.

Oh god.

Oh no.

yeah so to be clear, it's back now, but when i tried searching "link" around an hour ago, it literally returned no results. nothing. as if the word has never been used on this app, ever.

What time is it? LONG PAST TIME TO #FreeLink @captainafab.bsky.social · 17h

Sunk cost theory though: the further they go down the path the harder it is to turn back because all the time and resources poured into banning Link and defending the ban can’t be recouped. It looks like they’re suppressing the words “free” and “link” and the #FreeLink hashtag now too.
