Kudos to Kim Novak, who was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at Venice Film Festival — and used the platform to sound an alarm. "We have to open our eyes and see what’s going on and try to do whatever we can to save our democracies." youtu.be/JbXI1y2_CkY?... #FilmSky #KimNovak

I would venture into their mentions to remind them of the “plandemic” and to prescribe Hydroxychloroquine and it was not appreciated
Jesse Hawken (@jessehawken.bsky.social) reply parent
That was the funniest weekend ever on Twitter, even funnier than Four Seasons Total Landscaping because all the dipshits who swore up and down that the virus wasn’t real and that Hydroxychloroquine was all you needed to survive were suddenly terrified that Daddy was going to die from it

People complaining about “Blueskyism” are really complaining about how they would have had to start over with zero followers if they took their act over there and were simply unwilling or unable to do the work. SKILL ISSUE
Tim Onion (@bencollins.bsky.social) reposted
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER

Bluesky got Trump to spend all weekend trying to prove he wasn't dead, and the Giuliani jokes yesterday were spectacularly funny so I don't know what anyone is talking about, this place has the juice and you're doing it wrong if you aren't having as much fun on here as some of us are!
