I'm going to be driving up Interstate 5 from California to Portland and Seattle very very soon. Any people or places I should make a point of visiting?

The "fighters vs folders" taxonomy (as opposed to the "progressives vs moderates" taxonomy) for the @democraticparty.bsky.social is an interesting take. #BradLander did pretty well hitching his wagon to #Mamdani (and getting himself arrested).

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party. Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

LMAO the Village People's "YMCA" performance at Trump's inaugural ball went so far off the rails the band basically had to stop playing

As someone who has become a San Francisco weather wimp, I think it's cold when it's below 50F outside. But leaders like @governorwalz.mn.gov or folks with any experience in Washington DC or folks who live in cold winter climates know that you bundle up when it's cold out! It's not rocket surgery...

i love the story about Elon lying about being good at a video game because it’s not the worst thing he’s done by a mile but it is maybe the most fundamentally pathetic

According to a highly scientific poll on #DailyKos (see https://buff.ly/3DVuXCg ), #BlueSky is the most popular replacement for #Facebook, beating out #Mastodon and #Threads by a pretty wide margin. What do y'all think? #Diaspora anyone?

Parents... please check your children's candy tonight. I just went through Salomé Athena's haul and I found a copy of the Jorge Luis Borges short story collection "The Garden of Forking Paths". This metatextual exploration may be too advanced for young readers.

blocking is misunderstood by many, so here's a good rule of thumb: when i block you it's because i am politely unsubscribing from your replies. when you block me it's because you are a censor denying me my rightful spot in the marketplace of free ideas, and because you hate friendship and love
