No unsolicited DM's.
- Target made its choice—and so have Black consumers. The National Black Church Initiative isn’t playing PR games. No more performative marketing while treating Black communities like disposable income streams. I have nothing to do with this org, but it is telling.
- I’m an old white woman. I’m boycotting target and Amazon
- Same
- i can't stop thinking of Uncle Baby Billy's line "he DOES like Menthol!" Righteous Gemstones is the greatest.
- Uncle Baby Billy has run away with this season. Walter Googins deserves an Emmy.
- It’s pretty hilarious how unless your baby is clad head to toe in pink and purple (and no other colors) everyone just assumes it’s a boy
- Especially if your baby is bald. I used to tape a little bow on her head.
- It’s probably a good idea to ditch your black plastic utensils, since they may expose you to harmful chemicals. Here’s what to use instead.
- Hasn't this story been proven to be a statistical error?
- There is no "war on religion." I prefer to call it "Collective Awareness."

- And the Democrats need to stop traveling in groups.

- Having sex with a young boy is not a "sexual relationship." Rape. It's Rape.
- Google obliterated their search function for this

View full threadUnfortunately the internet has become so terrible DuckDuck is at the mercy of the junk-filled ocean it pulls from. I'm just happy to not get the Google crappy sponsored stuff and slop "overviews" anymore
- Agree. Switched to DDG just a month ago and my search time is actually faster because I don't have to spend the time weeding through "Sponsored" results
- Forevermore, I will refer to this as "the parlor".
- A beautiful creature I saw on my snowshoeing adventure this morning. Isn’t he/she beautiful!! 🤩 #wildlife #wildlifephotography #fox

- Unfortunately, one of the characteristics of Bluesky seems to be seemingly endless AI images of foxes for some reason. I block them all, but the Discover tab keeps pumping them out to me.
- Trump Mocks Federal Workers with SpongeBob Meme Trump posted the meme hours after Elon Musk did on Twitter
- This is absolute harassment. It's time for some legal action, don't you think?
- A former surgeon went on trial in western France on Monday on charges that he raped or sexually assaulted hundreds of people, most of them former pediatric patients, in what is widely considered the biggest pedophilia case in French history.

- Number keeps going up this shit is hot
- good thing we fired all the asteroid watchers this week
- And I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
- The sound isn't necessary, but it really makes this the best.
- “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”
- ..that fucking face
- If any time I post about something other than The Current Situation, you’re tempted to reply asking how dare I … just go ahead and unfollow, because I’m going to block you as soon as you give in to that temptation, anyway.
- I agree. The beauty of Bluesky is some relief we have from the constant churning of other social media platforms. Touch the grass, people. If you don't take a breath, eventually you'll die.
- I wish this could scroll across every screen in America.
- HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.
- History will not be kind to Dem Leaders who are not calling it out in conversational language like this. Risking his values above his ambition. And if his ambition is to be remembered as a great leader, the reward has already been guaranteed.
- There are 15,000 Nursing Homes in the US Most are funded by Medicaid What happens to Grandma with dementia or Uncle Paul who is 94 with Alzheimer’s? Jobs will be lost and what do we do with the Elderly? Who need care?
- Personally, I can’t wait for that entire generation to d!e already. They are largely why we are in this mess 100% of the complete selfish 🗑️ I’ve had to deal with in the wild in the past week have been old wyt people. Humanity should rid itself of their gross ideologies, and growth isn’t happening
- Wow.
- Governor doesn’t have power to summarily fire the Mayor. She can hold a hearing where she is judge, prosecutor & jury. Mayor presents a defense & can appeal in court which could take years. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/n...

View full threadThat's a different question. I think our city council should be working on a resolution asking the governor to remove him so we maintain our municipal independence from the state. As for your question of what's to stop any GOP gov from removing a Dem mayor, nothing. Not even a lack of precedent.
- True, that.
- Lawrence's understanding isn't quite right. She can remove him upon charges being presented to him. the Mayor would then have an "opportunity to be heard". She can suspend him for 30 days while preparing and determining the charges.
- But, is it really a good idea to establish this precedent? What's to stop any GOP Governor from "trumping up" reasons to remove The Democrat leaders from their cities?
- Heartbroken beyond words. www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/m...
- 💔
- 75,000 people accepted Trump and Elon Musk’s buyout plan. That is absolutely crazy. Idk in what world they think that man is gonna pay for them to be on vacation til fucking September
- I know someone who's a federal worker and 1) the "buyout" is just a deal that says "you're allowed to continue working remote until September, when you're guaranteed to be fired" every single major news outlet has grossly misrepresented the offer but I've read it myself.
- Yes! I have been greatly confused at the news reports. I've read the "Fork in the Road" email, and it seems pretty clear that the deal is that they can stay remote as long as they resign in September.
- omg
- Given this, and Gebbia's position as Board Chair at Airbnb, I plan to take my lodging business elsewhere. www.newsweek.com/airbnb-joe-g...
- IMO, VRBO is better than Airbnb. VRBO is less expensive and has fewer convoluted, hidden costs and fees. This makes it an even easier choice for my family and me.
- Personally, I have always liked Air BnB a bit better, but not enough that I won't switch all my booking to VRBO going forward as a matter of principal- (and I book about 35-40 nights a year.)
- Wow there’s new video of the Delta flight landing and rolling over at Toronto’s Pearson Airport yesterday….incredible all survived 🙏
- Holy crap.😳 Seems folks with families might consider taking separate flights like my folks' generation did. Seriously. They did. Because accidents happened more back then. Yes, that's how old I am.
- I had forgotten about that, but that is true! I remember parents taking separate flights in case something happened that the kids would not be left orphaned.
- I'm sensing a common thread here...
- Well...of course he was.

- thought experiment: sliced bananas in grilled cheese. food genius or food crime?
- Just don't
- I know this is cheesy, but I’m going to say it anyway: Don’t forget to show up for yourself. For awhile I stopped doing my long weekend runs and I’ve been back at it for several weeks and it makes all the difference. Whatever your thing is, don’t stop doing it!

- At the nation’s scientific and public health agencies, panic set in as officials braced for a wave of layoffs. The Trump administration is now embracing forced resignation of officials at CDC and NIH.

- 👆👆 Constructive discharge is a thing. It's wrongful termination and actionable.
- Jeezus fucking Christ. Not enough white people working at Starbucks. These motherfuckers have been unleashed.
- White men
- Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

View full threadmake the changes you can where you can. for my part I'm trying to start a business to provide a high quality product and well paying jobs for several people. maybe eventually I'll get far enough to make more institutional changes but right now my level of influence and financial power is next to 0
- I feel your frustration about the impact I can have as an individual. I have chosen to support some independent news sources, and to try to sever my dependency on complicit entities like Google, Amazon, legacy newspapers, and any other business I can identify as bending the knee. (Reposted)
- Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

- This is another reason why I like Bluesky… real people interactions without condescension or insults for asking what was probably a Boomer question🙋♀️ . Thanks, friend.
- Normally I'd agree with you, but when the richest man in the world can drop 100 million on any race to primary any republican who steps out of line without starting to sweat.... 100k would be life changing for some of us, but millions aren't enough when you're battling billions.
- And being “a millionaire” (if one is talking about net worth) does not mean that one has a million liquid dollars. Yes, they can give more than some (and they should), but I took his post to rightly imply it’s going to take many many millions to implement Mark’s suggestion.
- What does Trump have against Canada? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-empero...
- He is jealous of Trudeau, just like he is of Macron - for now other reason than he recognizes how attractive they are. It’s pretty base.
- Has anyone dumped Google as their search engine and using something better who hasn't bent over and kissed the orange baboon's ass?
- Also…moving away from gmail… What are other folks here doing for that?
- What's up with all the random posts of AI-generated pictures of foxes?
- After the 2022 midterms, Kash Patel attacked GOP Senators Mitch McConnell for supporting Lisa Murkowski. Patel claimed McConnell and others like him “live off the government teat and cannot do anything on their own.” Patel now hopes McConnell and Murkowski vote to confirm him.
- They will.
- Bill O'Reilly: Trump will use drones if cartels don't withdraw: "If they don't recede, you're gonna see dead bodies all over the place and that's coming soon," O'Reilly says.
- He's still alive?
- Amazon to resume advertising on X (formerly Twitter). They’re ramping up spending after pulling ads over hate speech concerns. Apple left in 2023, is now also considering a test run. Looks like concerns over hate have an expiration date, because no one could argue that things have gotten better.
- Assholes need stuff, too, I guess.
