Posting with initial capitals and no final period is bluesky style. Replies should be made in lowercase. Quote dunks may also be lowercase if they are six words or less
today, lowercase can be clickbait, or a strategy of gen z-ers to read as less intense. it can also be a status symbol, or a way to signal human authorship. finally, pockets of the internet still see lowercase as somehow antiestablishment.

Metallica are probably at all 4 poles of the political compass. Hetfield strikes me as a gold fringed flag libertarian, Ulrich is turbo fash, Hammett is a stoner ancom, and Trujillo is Marxist-Leninist
"You should come to a show to avoid politics & not push political agendas!" Usually when this gets said? The person turns out to be an undercover red hat...you'd kinda have to be to make St Anger. share.google/m43xIJqrPPw5...

One under-discussed aspect of the vibecession is how interest rates for credit cards, autos, and mortgages all jumped in 2022 with the Fed hikes then never came back down. It's hardly a surprise consumers get bad vibes from that.

SC because not trying to pile on, but Chesa was (in part, not monocausal, etc) successfully recalled by SFPD sandbagging. I personally know people in the city told by on duty cops “sorry can’t arrest this obviously dangerous person threatening you, due to the DA”. Like, it worked.

Libs were terrified of Dairializa when she won the primary, but when they see how she deals with Republicans I think they may come around
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) says he will try to block NY-13 Democratic nominee and democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier from taking her seat in Congress over a deleted 2019 post saying she used an American flag as a napkin, per @nypost.com.

urbanists convincing themselves to support nithya will be an interesting development
LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

I love interview discourse because everyone has their fussy little demands, but the hiring decisions never have anything to do with it. This guy came in without ironing his shirt, can you believe it? Oh the next guy has a Def Leppard shirt on. Hysteria or Pyromania? Hell yeah welcome aboard
Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS

this consisted mostly of tech executives convincing each other that they were about to become god kings of the new computer economy
What was really up with all that "vibe shift" stuff after the 2024 election? Like, what was the environment like, what was going on with members of the media that they bought this? I'm genuinely curious.
A triumphal monument but also a drone surveillance panopticon is a concept so abysmally kitschy and a overwrought even focault would be surprised
The popular theory is that Trump is building military installations full of drones and snipers because he plans to never leave office. I think there is an alternate explanation: he has severe paranoia from multiple assassination attempts, and spends every moment in DC in abject fear for his life.
