@climatetown.bsky.social erasure!

I was worried he'd be a partisan Trump attack dog, and thank god he's just a drunk starfucker instead.

And there were real issues with how thing were managed at the height of the pandemic (mostly by well meaning people working with the info they had), but these sob stories are always shit about people being mean to them at a football game over whatever. that's not one of the issues!

Listen, I could try to somewhat educate myself, or I can radicalize myself against Democrats for likes on a niche social media site, and I think we can all agree on what the best course of a action is here.

Even ignoring the clear morality of it, being squishy on it just tells me I can't trust you about *anything.* You need to stand for *something*, and if you get squeamish with a few shit heads yelling at you online why would I trust you do anything that would garner even more reaction.

"In fact, as a few moments with Google or Claude will confirm" Ohh...haha yikes.

Whatever popular sentiment that exists is based on a decade long project by right wing Transphobes that initially was brutally unpopular. Turns out people respond well when you have sincere convictions that you defend. We should try that for convictions that don't suck.

This also explains nearly 100% of contentious Bluesky drama.

"You realise you're an adult, right?" is kind of the ideal rejoinder to 90% of the therapy-speak discourse that plagues so much social media.

WGN posted a meme of Kyle Shanahan as Mitch McConnell when reporting on his car accident.

I think many of us are just sick of that being the default mode of communication online. It hasn't really led us anywhere good!

It doesn't need to be a topic proactively put up front, but when someone asks a candidate a bullshit bad faith question, call it out for the bullshit bad faith it is. None of this wishy washy we care about fairness follow the law blah blah blah.

We don't need any more proof of this. But if we did, the reaction to non-binary runner Nikki Hiltz, competing in the division of their assigned at birth gender, as the Transphobes have been demanding, should just about to it.

I wasn't aware you were one of his weird anti fans at the time and wasn't trying to get weirdly personal, as you immediately, very weirdly, did.

Surely getting weirdly aggressive in the replies to non aggressive responses to you will prove your theory of "no one is weirdly aggressive to this one commenter" correct.

No, but that's also not what he's talking about and I know you know that. His anti fans are some of the worst people I've ever encountered on the internet.

The current MAGA version of the party is made up of a lot more low info and low participation voters that don't really show up when Trump's name isn't on the ballot.

I'm sure I wouldn't have personally liked many CEOs in the last 20ish years, but by and large they mostly just stayed quiet and did their jobs. Now every CEO wants to be a loud mouth influencer. This is again an issue Musk escalated.

Brandon Johnson in Chicago is losing a lot to the city council though. But much of this is on him for being very bad as a relationship builder.
