Hello Bluesky! You all seem by and large like wonderful people. I hope I come off as someone who is earnestly trying to be kind and thoughtful and hopefully I earn your trust that if a post ever comes off as not that, that that isn’t the way I intended it.
Just gonna put the slightly scary thought out in the world of “what do the think is the percentage of titans of industry and politics getting long COVID and losing their ability to think clearly and logically for the world to teeter into madness?”
And how would we course correct if we hit that %?

Trump prefers winners, period. And Mamdani won by an astounding margin. That is the beginning and the end of the complexities at play in why he changed his tune.
He would start talking about how great Ivana was if she somehow burst out of the ground and cleaned up on the back 9

Kid was screwing around and accidentally did the five point palm exploding heart technique and from now on he’s basically gotta bring the remote to ME, whether he’s playing Roblox or not!

“Are we allowed to reflect that frankness back to you and the president?”
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

in order to have this work, it either means someone typed this out straight or it means that someone sat down to figure out a filter pattern to remove all the mean things about Elon to end up with this.
That must have been the best job in the world. “Not including uhh…dickbiscuit? Is that a thing?”

Staring through my neighbors window at his Christmas tree like I’m Ebenezer Scrooge
Not because I hate Christmas but because I really want to have the time to put mine up
“You there, neighbors boy… what day is it? November 19th? Saints preserve me, there’s still time!”

Kid had his first swear word today when he couldn’t get his lunch bag into his book bag. Given that he’s almost double digits and is a creature inhabiting the world at large I feel fairly proud that it took this long.
Also it was suitably colorful for his age so I’m secretly proud of that too

The one thing that the 2020s have taught me is that not only can money not buy happiness, it doesn’t appear able to buy confidence either

Today I learned that everyone’s drama is unique. Mine centers around exhaustion; a feeling of bone deep weariness from constant fear for my kids, my wife, my parents, my job, my country, my planet…
Others’ drama apparently involves a lot more screwing really old guys

I’ve long had a sense memory of being at my grandparents farm in this little section of the house that was like a greenhouse where they had their old tiny TV set and it was dark out and storming and on the TV was the most terrifying, incomprehensible thing I had ever seen as a kid.

So I get that Bluesky might be a bit reclusive, and I get that my social mores might be decades old…
But it’s truly bizarre to see some people be like “why are all my replies like this??”
And it’s just someone supplying their own view or opinion on a topic OP put out into the public square
