back when bluesky was still blowing up, wasn't bsky's self-moderation what the dipshits on the right complained about the most? like, those stupid bastards were actually for-real crying about censorship and suppression of free speech because so many of us blocked them.

"Over-investing in tech-fad-of-the-day is clearly happening again so you have to get used to it"

WRONG

I have seen the telecom / dot-com bubble

Nine thoughts on the NYT article about climate risk, insurance, and eroding home values
"Homeowners don’t appreciate or don't understand that we are living in a much riskier world than we were 25 years ago. And that risk? They have to pay for it."

$MSTR is sinking this morning 👀 AIME, our proprietary AI flags three key drivers: 1. Index reclassification risks that could trigger $8B in passive outflows. 2. A steep cut to 2025 earnings guidance. 3. A broader risk-off tone as #Bitcoin falls below $90K.
