Bluesky - Fix Missing Flag Emojis and More by thissteveguy
Replaces Bluesky's emoji font with the open-source Noto Color Emoji font, which has more (and better) emojis overall, including every flag.
userstyles.world
For Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Brave users on Bluesky who are missing flag emojis and others, try this stylesheet. Just follow the instructions on the site.
Along with flags (🇮🇪), here's some emojis you should be able to see after installing:
🤌 🫦 🥷 🫶 🪥 🛻 🪩 🪠 🪪 🪦 🟰

This week, filmmaker John Moore unearths a ton of gems from Austin public access TV, including an alien invasion movie, a call-in joke hotline, and a Carmen Miranda drag show. Joe & Nick trot out some deep cuts from the world of cable access, a video store screener for Road House, and news bloopers!

ICE never left L.A. The military did but they aren't the ones terrorizing the city. Please don't ignore L.A.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

I'm legit astonished that 20,000 documents from the Epstein Files were made public, one outlet even made it searchable to the public, and it still hasn't shown up on Bluesky's trending topics. Are we so siloed that things can just be buried in plain site now?

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate
Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

An unfortunate amount of centrist Dems will refuse to see that the public clearly prefers Democratic politicians who promise to fight for them. And that the only reasonable way to fight the far-right is from the left; to actually stand on your convictions, not to try and meet the fascists halfway.
