I think it is incumbent upon the good people of Bluesky (except for the AI dorks) to make sure any journos and politicos from Twitter coming over get bullied relentlessly so they don't fuck up the vibes we've cultivated here. And also so they are constantly reminded they suck.

Imagine wrecking modern economic systems and ushering in the worst oligarchy in centuries because you really really want to be able to fuck your 12-year-old cousin but the government said 'no'

Senator Moreno is the failson of a car dealership owner who was convicted of stealing wages from his employees. He is also, according to multiple people who grew up with him, a blithering idiot with a tenuous grasp on reading, writing and arithmetic. But he is rich, so he gets to be a senator.
