Brigaders mass reported my account and Bluesky labeled it.

I have to emphasize that this is both required by statute and constitutionally uncontroversial (these are “inferior officers”)
Todd Blanche says “You are fired, Donald Kinsella.”
Kinsella was just selected as the US Attorney for the Northern District of New York by the district’s judges, as permitted by statute.

this is cucked in so many different directions simultaneously. a mutual handjob turducken of cuckery. an ouroboros of propagandistic compliance. truly remarkable.
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

yeah so if i were forking this i am being a decentralization pervert about moderation and governance instead of how we store posts
it is not feasible, let alone reasonable, to tell new users to be like "Hi, welcome to bluesky! you are in grave danger from Those Users. first you gotta IMMEDIATELY subscribe to these blocklists. no the other ones. then if you see someone coming through the blocks to talk shit, ITS ON SIGHT."
Yeah, it’s insanely corrosive to both individual users like you and to site health as a whole! This shit does not happen on healthy, well-moderated sites!

I see people responding to this with "well, actually, it stretches further back than that" and there are two things to consider:
1) no, it really doesn't, disagreeing with the GOP agenda (which I do) doesn't mean that there is no material difference between now and then
2) going insane is a process

The problem here is: the GOP has gone completely fucking insane in the last 10 years
And well, this may have been obvious to Dems and/or anybody actually paying attention, most people genuinely did not believe that the Republicans want to do the things they’re currently doing until, uh, they did it

China, right now, believes that the costs of attacking Taiwan are unacceptable, U.S. deployment or otherwise.
I think it's important that the doom and gloom about deterrence and the future of the free world not come from the free world. To believe that we are doomed is to doom ourselves.

Does anyone seriously believe the US would defend Taiwan?
If China moves to attack, Trump will tell the truth about it, side with the smaller democracy over the larger authoritarian, strenuously object, send more arms, deploy US military assets, and risk/endure casualties?
Who’s confident in that?

yes Janet Mills is running against Susan Collins even though she hasn’t won her primary. this is almost certainly because she’s not a horrible person and therefore wants Oyster Skull to win if he beats her, so she isn’t running ads against him

the only way community moderation even comes close to working (e.g. reddit) is if you have a massive set of gates that posts have to pass through before they actually hit the feed.
