All social media, regardless of what it claims, is about compliance (follow trends, follow clickbait, follow party line) simping (find your hero and follow them obsessively & obediently)and ego (look at me, follow me, do my bidding) three things I’ve never been into. Bluesky is no different.
I mostly stay on here because I like that there’s an alternative to all the fascist social media sites and I want to help keep it alive. But now I’m thinking… eh.
Like if I wanted to have a bunch of people try to bully me for the crime of disagreeing with them, I’d just go to Twitter.
Like I’m realizing I don’t actually like a lot of the people on here. I spend more time blocking purity shit takes than anything else. Why am I here?
Sometimes Bluesky is every bit the hypsersensitive bullshit festival people say it is…..
Why does Taylor Swift need to be worked into every news story right now?
Dinkins was the only non-asshole mayor of NYC in my lifetime.
#SanDiego Meet Pickles & Socks a beautiful bonded pair of sisters. They were sadly dumped in my neighborhood, both found under car hoods. They are approximately 2 months old & need a loving home together. Pickles gets very sad if her sister is too far from her. If you're interested, please reply
“I believe Susan Collins can do more for her country by keeping the spark of Republicanism alive and giving it oxygen than by mere futile gestures.” There’s stupid, there’s fucking stupid and then there’s Gordon L. Weil.
Uh, so about how that “no immigrants” thing pans out a couple generations down the road…. thediplomat.com/2023/01/japa...
Women don’t. Which is why do many of these men get caught tampering with children….
For a few more months anyway…..
Thiel enjoyed the multiple times you officially featured him so much he’s returning on his own? You’re also pushing Joe Manchin as a “maverick” and AI agents as ”revolutionary.” Idiots who think they’re geniuses & who’d rent out space to Charles Manson as long as his check cleared….

“We’re going to make an un-woke ‘Wicked!’l Gwen Stefani joins Elon Musk, Morrissey, Russell Brand and Johnny Depp on the list of “people that my friends gave me shit for not liking but I turned out to be totally right about.”
Tom Barrack: Jeffrey Epstein scheduled multiple meetings with conservative financial operatives, inc. billionaire Peter Thiel and real-estate mogul Thomas Barrack, in the run-up to the 2016 election www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
Why didn’t they do what they always wanted before now? Because they did t have a weird reality show carnival barker cult leader like Trump to give them cover & whose fanatical followers’ threats extinguish thoughts of revolt JD Vance will not have the same allegiance from the base or the elite.
JD is not “competent.” Also, he does not have the cult of personality that Trump does, not by a long shot. Instead of every Republican bowing down, every Republican is going to be trying to stab him in the back & take his job.
I’ll assume Snoop has no problem explaining what pedophilia & sex trafficking are after his grandson sees a news story about Trump or discussing what dildos are for after watching a WNBA game. Snoop is a punk-ass bitch who can go fuck himself like the rest of the MAGA punk-ass bitches.
I would buy this album in a heartbeat (@fakemusic_br instagram) #funk #acdc
How many gravy seal trainees do you think got stuck in the pipe?
22 August 1941 | Hungarian Jewish girl Beáta Donner was born. In May 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Four days of Peter Thiel and you claim to be “nonpartisan?” 😂😂😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮😂😂😂
Given how the residents of California & DC have responded, that’s a bold move in a purple-leaning-blue state…..
She raised this scumbag? Wow.
Can someone ask Patti LaBelle to check her adopted son’s hard drive?
To paraphrase Mel Brooks, the way to beat Nazis is to mock & humiliate them.
It’s racism to tell people they’ve turned into monsters and try to make them feel shame? I’d say it to white ICE agents too, but most of them would be proud of the title. I assume you’d also call me an antisemite if I pointed out that Israel is perpetuating a holocaust against the people of Gaza.
Every Black ICE officer needs to be called “slave catcher” to their face.

I would love to see this twat try to do some public events in Florida in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. The boos would probably be heard in Maine.
Presidential bribery
What is the good alternative YOU have in mind?
So tired of these bullshit takes from children with no fucking grasp of what it’s like to survive in the real world.
Just wait until Dump finds about this. Many people are saying it’s the most beautiful shot ever… www.firstpost.com/explainers/w...

Seriously, the Russian economy is in free fall, soldiers are mutinying, a Ukrainian sniper just killed two Russians from two miles away (n new works record). Putin’s only hope is for Trump to prop him up.
He literally fucking admits he’s never made money, has no idea how to make money but is sure the machine will tell him how to make money eventually. Rich people are stunningly stupid.
If you wanna drop by his Insta page and say hi…. www.instagram.com/ericlendrum13
So nobody is except you. Got it.
Anyone who claims to speak for “thousands of people” is full of shit.
The purity left may just drive me the fuck out of here.
And you sitting on your ass passing out the purity tests have done so much for the cause, right? I mean, it’s not about building a coalition or asking folks to change. It’s about sitting by yourself & feeling superior, right? You’re an older white guy. You’ll be fine no matter who wins.
Do you know who Elizabeth Warren even is?
The Trump Administration protects yet another pedophile…..
The reasons to despise this woman are never-ending.
A new book "Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York [about Prince Andrew] quotes Jeffrey Epstein saying that he had sex with Melania Trump a full year before Donald Trump started his relationship with her. After threats from Melania, the publisher removed this from the audiobook and e-book.
Fuck @espn.com
He didn’t fool them. He gave them permission to be their worst selves.

Fucking hell. The punks of Las Vegas know what to do with the asshole in the Nazi shirt. What’s wrong with DC baseball fans?!? www.casino.org/news/angry-m...
Was it before or after you swallowed, Donnie?
It’s more like 20% That most people say they’re 50% and they themselves think they’re 80% is the problem….

Actually, yes, changing Americans’ attitude toward their military from “thank you for your service” to “leave me the fuck alone, asshole” was part of Project 2025.
In May, we, alongside CBC's Visual Investigation Unit, @tjekdet.dk and @politiken.dk revealed the identity of the key administrator behind one of the largest AI porn sites. Dutch politicians across political parties are now calling for the Canadian to be extradited. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I wish every person they pulled over would just roll down the window and deadpan “I don’t have any sandwiches on me, Officer.”
Oh, I’m sure Trump’s masked goons will supply her with plenty of girls to sell.
I hate to ruin everyone’s fantasy, but most Only Fans girls make about $150 a month.
Bear in mind that the girl may be AI but the dick pics from incel fans flooding “her”/your inbox will be all too real…
Gloria has managed to get away with “I love my gay fans but being gay is a sin and I hope I can convert them to Jesus & heterosexuality” for a while now, but she may have played her last Pride…. hollywoodlife.com/feature/kenn...
Out west they’d send folks to Los Angles. And then pat themselves on how there’s “no” homeless in their little bullshit but those blg city hellholes are overrun…..
Uh, this has already been happening for decades. Back in the 80s, one of the leading asshole businessmen of Burlington VT would give the local homeless people bus tickets to NYC.
The assholes in DC are trying to destroy decades’ worth of climate data. If you’d like to say something about it, the comment period is still open. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
Reply guy who literally has nothing to offer but criticism and insults maybe needs to fuck off?
Racism & homophobia.
So, the news says Nevada National Guard is preparing to assist ICE. Called the governor’s office, where the person answering the phone denied it and said they’re just going to be helping with administration and paperwork. I said that is indeed working with ICE and don’t you dare BS us.
BALTIMORE MAYOR BRANDON SCOTT: “D.C.’s violent crime is at a 30 year low…. It’s notable every city Trump called out has a Black mayor - most are seeing HISTORIC LOWS in violent crime… he could learn a lot from instead of throwing things at us.”
Perfect. No notes. www.colincornaby.me/2025/08/in-t...
This is the second “why can’t the democrats adopt the winning strategy of lying and demonizing” take I’ve heard today.. Long sigh.
Texas has made a tip line to try to catch the Democrats who flex quorum at (866) 786-5972, It’s be a real shame if they got a lot of nuisance calls…..
When you’re listening to a podcast and realize that the host knows less about the subject than you do….
To be fair, securing public toilets is about all Kash and Bongo are qualified to do….
Market is gonna TANK on this tomorrow….
She’s wiling to do what Melania won’t…..
It’s nice how Adelson & the Fertitas gave him hundreds of millions to destroy their city.
So…. making an ad for women’s jeans that wasn’t designed to appeal to women and get them to buy jeans but was designed to appeal to men and get them to rage-masturbate didn’t result in women buying jeans? Shocking.
I assume her “work assignment” will be overseeing all the Ukrainian orphans Putin has just put up for sale and all the kids Trump has ICE kidnap.
I’d say it’s hypocrisy for the woman’s who’s servicing Trump to attack other women for having a “mouth full of cock” but we have to remember that Don is certainly no mouthful….
Your reminder that the garbage people who raised this garbage human also own Lesser Evil popcorn. Make sure you’re boycotting! www.theverge.com/news/611388/...
So, Dems need to back deportation death camps and tell nonstop lies about crime rates too? Seriously, what the fuck is supposed to happen here? I’m done. Please kill me.
I have been saying for a long time that Dubai is a bug light for dumb guys and I'm glad people are coming around on it
Now that Epstein is gone, the rich old men will apparently get their little girls from Putin….
What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /
Pritzker is one of the few electeds who’s been fighting since day one. He facilitated the reps’ escape and is keeping them safe. Save your smoke for the ones who are still sitting on the sidelines.
Well said, Mo Salah. Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by IDF forces whilst waiting for food aid in southern Gaza.
People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25
The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men
Forgot to mention her affair w the Commander of the 82nd Airborne & all the nameless soldiers she gave their last fling during WWII. The world’s most famous German became an American citizen and joined the US Army because fuck Hitler. An incredible life, really, even without the big-name bed-hopping
Garbo, at lest two Kennedys, Nobel Prize winners, media moguls, celebrated authors, famed artists, a legion of Oscar winners of both genders… frankly she may have the most impressive conquest list in history.
If he really wants attention for his crypto, he oughta throw a fleshlight at Draymond Green…
There are a very large number of children at WNBA games. Apparently waving sex toys around in front of kids is something MAGA is into now…
The 54-page report offers an especially critical look at DOGE’s budget slashing, citing billions in wasted resources and hindered efficiency among government services. (Musk has not commented on the report or its findings.)
She also had an affair with his dad. Marlene cut a swath through the rich and/or fabulous for almost a half-century.
That’s not what JFK’s mistresses used to say. And he was apparently lousy in the sack, would just lie there….
