lol my ongoing theory is all the problematic people are in a group chat. And considering what we saw on Signal... I don't think I'm wrong.

This is a really profound take. Curious of the men of #bluesky, what is happening in y'alls relationships outside of romance?

A lot of men do not like other men as people, also. Bunch of shitty, horrible dudes out there right now, mad about everything they can't let themselves feel.

I LOVE when people do this (make women part of the grooms party).
The dad of the kids I used to nanny got remarried and I was a groomsman. We got the photos back. Me and the boys look like we’re auditioning for a buddy cop film or the runway.

TLDR: Them congresspeople do weirdly well with stock gains. 👀
After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts
