@bencollins.bsky.social DM’ed me & asked if I’d meet him for lunch. For those who haven’t followed I’m one of many people who’ve criticized him for shamelessly pushing the candidacy of
@katmabu.bsky.social without disclosing they live together, & she moved here bc of his job…/1

But you didn’t, though

confused about this reply not answering my questions…
…a journalists’ obligation to disclose a romantic relationship with a political candidate whose candidacy they’re endorsing. And it’s worse bc they’ve both been concealing their relationship; probably not to family & friends but her story of how she ended up on the Miracle Mile, her description…/3
perhaps i'm confused but why:
- not just have a phone call with the guy who sent you a very amiable message and doesn't at all seem to be a bad person?
- is it egregious for a guy who isn't currently a journalist to not disclose he is dating this congressional candidate?
all feels a bit puffed up
And no, you’re not clever for pointing out The Onion is a comedy site. But interesting that you know Collins has no intention of going back in to journalism.
And has he explained why they hid their relationship when obviously it was the reason she’s even in Illinois?
Dana, got be honest with you, it makes a pretty big difference that he's not a political journalist covering the campaign, but instead running the satire news site behind stories such as "Study Reveals: Babies are Stupid".

people say bluesky isn't doing anything new or interesting but that's not quite true: this site has developed the first new way to get mad at the onion in 30 years
i don’t understand when my fellow thirtysomethings panic about no longer understanding what the kids like and how they dress. the most perfect serenity ever devised by man or heaven is within reach and you’re pushing it away with both hands
I'm glad this guy is talking but why does he look like he's the most annoying card magician in his polycule?

there will never be a funnier crossing of these specific wires than gundam seed’s version of this metaphor being about racism towards eugenicists
The problem (one of the problems) with using mutants as a 1:1 metaphor for marginalized groups is that they're simultaneously an oppression metaphor and a power fantasy.

Today Gov Walz, Erin Murphy, & Melissa Hortman made a deal with Republicans to take away healthcare from undocumented Minnesotans (among many other harmful cuts). Make no mistake, people will die as a result of their capitulation to Republicans. Shame on them and anyone willing to stand with them.

Dems need to accept that this whole “see, we can still work with Republicans to get things done” schtick is part of the reason a lot of people don’t believe the entirely correct claims of corruption and authoritarianism. If those claims were true, why would you still be working with them?
Amid chaos in Washington, Minnesota is proving that Democrats and Republicans can still work together to get things done.
We just reached a bipartisan budget deal that protects investments we’ve made to improve lives and puts us in a strong financial position for years to come.

It’s genuinely embarrassing that people keep falling for these “AI explains the hidden secrets of its programming” posts. Grok is not sentient, it cannot explain what it’s doing and why.
