It would be great if BlueSky added a tab in user profiles to separate user posts from reposts. This would make bots work a bit harder. I am getting tons of follows from folks with either no posts at all or just reposts. I don't like boosting bots.

Left out of these discussions is an acknowledgement of Amy Acton's grit, determination, and strength of character to emerge from a truly hellish childhood and lead an exemplary life. It is amazing to me that she did this all while knowing the perpetrator named free. Like the Epstein victims.

Scary thought. Trump has the Clerk of the House killed December 31 prior to seating of the new congress. As the Justice Department says no sitting president can be prosecuted and there is no Congress to impeach him, he has complete power. He already has assumed the power of the purse.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has announced an electric rate jump of 10% on our electric bill for AI data centers. This follows 2023 and 2024 rate increases. It looks like data centers are costing us plenty. Vote blue!!

WTF, tired of living in a mindless police state. Having to wait for a store employee to come check my ID when I buy Non-alcoholic (0.1%) from a store I've been shopping at for 30 years sucks. Then seconds later the store camera AI flags my bag as suspect. Inspection. I'm 65+ yo, gfy. @Kroger

I just apologized to the voice assistant in my car...I know crazy, right? I'm coming up to a green light, in the middle lane from which you can turn left or go straight. A black Suburban is in the left lane. Just as I get to the intersection the Suburban, without signaling brakes and swings /1

"Someone swerved in front of me and almost crashed into me." The VA said "That sounds very stressful, would you like me to find a less stressful route to your destination or find you a place to pull over and give you a chance to calm down." Me, "No, I'm good I'm heading home." VA, "Navigating Home"

I had to slam on brake and simultaneously hit the horn. My boxed dessert went flying off the seat. Inadvertently, I also hit the Voice Assistant. At this point , I let loose with an heartfelt expletive. The VA responded, "I don't respond to harmful language". I actually said, /2

I think Google Home is literally gaslighting me. I get up at 3:30 a.m. for work. Lately, it will randomly set the light level at 15%. It makes me feel like I'm going blind.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

Key excerpt from the court hearing in Chicago “Broadview 6” case. Worth a read. For a federal prosecutor, this is shocking misconduct. They are destroying our beloved DOJ.

After the debacle of the Iran War and the humiliation of the terms of the US surrender, I think Trump might have a contractor job for Noem. He'll ask her to take Kegsbreath on a tour of her gravel pit.

Time for the US to recognize the authority of the World Court. Bibi and Trump have proven that their corruption can overcome national governments' ability to reinforce in corruption. SCOTUS has abrogated it's authority. The Iran WAR will adversely affect global growth. It is a war of aggression.

Interesting, a President can create a slush fund to pay reparations dispensing taxpayer dollars from the Treasury to anonymous folks with no basis or review. Two things spring to mind. There has to be proof of truly unforgivable crimes by DJT in the Epstein files. Slave reparations are possible.

Who here remembers hearing while growing up, "Regardless of the President's party, you should want him to succeed, because when he succeeds the country succeeds"? Does anyone actually believe that? Was it ever true?

As a TN resident I have to say, rural TN voters view their GOP supermajority like they do their underwear. Yes, they are sh*tty, dirty, malodorous, and an embarrassment best ignored, but then so is their underwear. And proudly they have no intention of changing them.

I got word last night of the passing of one of my cousins after decades in a nursing home. My only memory of him was meeting him at 12 or 13. He was 21. He aspired to be another Hemingway. So strong was his obsession was he became an alcoholic and fashioned his life to mimic Hemingway. 1/2

Sadly he didn't have Hemingway's gifts. In the end only his sister was at his side. When I met him, I liked him as many did. He struggled with mental health issues his whole life. The lesson his life offers, I offer to you. Live your life. Find yourself. Your destiny is your own. Don't give up.

Witnessed a little voter suppression Tennessee style today.first time youth voter in front of me getting blocked from voting why? Had voter registration card -check Had a TN Real ID Driver's license-check Photo matched -check Bill or bank statement in your name with your address- WTF Only new voters
