what do WE think?
bc what we think IS good enough!
we have to build safety with the idea that our own convictions ARE enough

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

Omg. Ok folks. You need to do this—big feeds, please amplify ( @kevinmkruse.bsky.social maybe you can too)
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

No that’s melancholy. Monogamy is a figure of speech in which a concept is referred to by the name of something associated with that thing or concept.
No that’s Monopoly. Monogamy is the feeling of pensive reflection or contemplation.
No that's mahogany. Monogamy is that board game where you take everyone's money

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
