Hey well other than that one time, I never said it.
Cooled by the breezes of the sea. Does anyone else pronounce it brewski Blueski. Appreciate the lack of ads.

Hey well other than that one time, I never said it.
Did you verify this before posting?
Don't expect other people to share 3rd party numbers. Ask Jeanine for her number yourself, Greta.
Only horserace.
You think if they did it would make any difference? Where you been lately.
The cryptic guys used to swoon over hand crafted puzzles but I dunno, kind of hard to tell.
That's a bit harsh! Whose posts, among those who disagree with you about anything, do you think offer anything of value?
If a person is right about one thing, they cannot therefore be wrong about anything else.
I can't see it and I haven't blocked anybody.
How did it work? It seemed like the kind of thing that might have worked but as the kids say, meh. Leon's $ is irresistible. Clever snark just gets washed down the same drain as any other tactic, forgotten in a couple weeks.
You mean that place, this place for its faults doesn't seem to be falling apart at least, and no ads!
He has published extensively, try going to the source then forming your own opinion. Also, you can just agree or disagree with his opinions, no need to conclude some overarching 'angle'.
He can post about whatever he wants you don't have to participate in the discussion if you don't find it newsworthy.
Two? Seven? None? Do you know?
Don't throw "hate" around so casually please.
Had not heard of Liz Fong-Jones prior to this post, so just learned she has blocked me wut.
Paywalled. Maybe having avoided jail Trump just wants to play golf and talk shit like any old FL retiree and leave the actual governance to those who have been undermining the very institution they now control. And let the rifts eg immigration, fall where they may, what does he care anymore.
Why this is an outrage! etc.
Are you reading Middlemarch? Good for you!
He blocked you! Or me? Insult somebody then block them, ha internet victory!
Humor is subjective.
All righty then! An unnecessary pronouncement.
Can you provide a link to an article that details this? I apparently have been under a rock.
"You voted for the guy because he was anti-immigration. Now he's going to let immigrants take the high-paying jobs but throw the fruit pickers out. His boss told you to go F your own face, then scolded you the next day, saying you should be nicer. What am I missing here?"
That's an opinion piece. Papers publish lots of them. Question remains, where do you get your news?
You don't know that. Where do you get your news instead? Give us your recommendations.
This is trite, George. The issues are which ones, how many etc.
What government is not "totally corrupt"? What alternative do you propose instead of a government?
The talented engineer promoted into management. Must be good, right? Anybody remember the Peter Principle?
Right. It's quite reductive to equate a whole newspaper with "Bezos".
Democracy in 2024 was noisy and chaotic. It was also resilient. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Well link to the article if you're going to complain about it.
Transformative change is the best kind!
Damn you The Media, damn you all to hell!
Speaking of writing in clichés, "tells you all you need to know" is a popular nuance killer.
Thanx. Oh my god that's nuts!
Also come to think of it, there are lots of people who I agree with about some things, and disagree with about other things. Like, so what? It's so odd.
How can you check what blocklists you are on? Agree, don't understand the assumption that following means agreement. It seems to stem from the inability to grasp that there could possibly exist people who may hold opinions, in good faith, that differ from your own.
Well I'm talking about YouTube.
It's like a news stand, quality is easy to find, you don't just watch any old thing that the algorithm, which spirals to low brow, suggests.
What you just noticed this?
I scrolled down, is that the whole review?
It seems like you didn't read the story. You ought to, it's not an appeal for sympathy.
Twitter is full of links to news articles and YouTube has many legit news channels.
You often see this "yet not a peep from MSM" angle then you Google it and see like five big outlets covering the thing on the first results page.
Don't worry, he's just bustin Ron's balls!
Well maybe he used the wrong word. It is unfortunate.
Or, he could not be whining at all!
Whoever it was, I (or you?) now blocked can't see what you are responding to.
Literally 1st sentence: Are you STILL whining about... 2nd sentence: Or are you whining that...
Could be, she lost due to gender + brownness didn't help, though brownness didn't hurt a different candidate. Or could be, these might have been overlooked if she had more time and voters were not unhappy for ideological reasons.
Of course a false dichotomy, but those are the options you presented!
Obama was browner still. I think Trump was the lucky beneficiary of Democratic disarray, too late to put the new candidate forward + disaffection with culture war and immigration.
So his choices, according to you are: STILL whining about A Whining about B Petitio principii.
Threatens this, threatens that. Fortunately following through on threats requires effort.
Riffing for me but not for thee.
People have abandoned Xitter to come here but I use both now, they function as left tab and right tab.
Also not compelling: taking screenshots of somebody in one app, to dunk on them in another app that they aren't on.
Need screenshot archive app.
Ah Enrique Tarrio okay.
I used to write bloated code just to get it to run and meet schedule, then go back and clean it up if possible. Anything I ever wrote, if had the chance to look at it months later, induced cringe. Tight code first time thru is a proper skill.
So awful. Watch as I, Clarissa Ward, enter a prison cell and discover some guy, are you getting this, does my hair look sufficiently fabulous? Can we get another angle? This is gonna look so great!
I can't speak to the glee, the racism claim is vague since many Hispanics identify as white. Preferably we could have secure borders, and let in those we deem worthy or useful, regardless of race, based on some rational policy, in the long run reducing situations such as depicted in the article.
I don't know who Danny Tarrio is. US census asks race and ethnicity separately and majority response to the former is white.
Whoa I have been blocked? Unlike many, I read the article, and didn't disagree. Welcome to bluesky, I guess.
Yes. People's urge to pounce is so strong any small ambiguity will trigger it.
More than one thing can be true. Obviously concern re excessive illegal immigration was factor in the election. Having secure borders is a legit concern. The remedy prescribed by the incoming administration will likely entail a lot of displacement and suffering. Should've been addressed years ago.
They apparently didn't even read the two sentence intro to the article under the title, which clears it up. People really jump the gun.
White is gratuitous here. Many Latinos consider themselves white anyway.
People who vote the way they voted on this issue are not likely readers of the New York Times.
Undocumented immigrants can't vote.
In the first sentence she claims to not even know what woke is. In the 2nd sentence she provides her definition of what it is. You also have an opinion of its contemporary meaning. So it has a contemporary meaning. So you both could respond to the question rather than complain about its meaning.
I've followed him for many years and think he's a reporter more than an ideolog. I wish people would respond to specific things he has written rather than just resorting to low-information calumny. Read someone's work, take issue with the arguments, don't personalize.
I don't know, plenty of vitriol here too. Depends who you follow I suppose. No ads is nice I wonder if that will continue once the venture capital is used up.
2024 roundup Cliches: - Imagine thinking X about Y - ...tells you everything you need to know Insults: pedo transphobe (everybody is one or the other if not both) Old but worthy: soyboy cuck Democrat instead of Democratic as adjective Ancient: libtard (ah we were so young)
Been on this site a week. In a Jesse thread somebody called me a c*nt then blocked. Wish I had got a screenshot would have been a cute souvenir but the instant hostility is startling.
But too, judging people by what they look like isn't great either. My congressman and one senator are white guys and as liberal as they come. You could add Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert to this gang and have gender diversity, but would that be an improvement?
Blocklists apparently assume followers are fellow travellers. But it's good to follow accounts whose opinions you disagree with. Else echo chamber. Name-calling isn't discussion, people can agree in good faith.
What is your point, that he shouldn't be entitled to legal representation?
"Taking out Assad and weakening Iranian regime is a good thing" - as pontifications go it's pretty concise lol.
They were right this is so much better than Twitter!
We? Speak for yourself.
Where did he say HST are the good guys? And the reason it's funny may be that labelling eg 'conservative' is reductive and not useful.
Posts are public by default aren't they? By feed you mean under the Discover tab? A single post, many posts? How much of his work have you read? On Twitter, a few accounts I followed went in a direction I wasn't interested in, so a simple unfollow did the trick, poof they were gone.
I don't know what that means. If you don't follow him, how were you aware of his post you replied to?
If you are talking about Jesse, why not simply not follow him?
Oddly specific. What percent replied none of your business?
Just got on this platform and as far as I see so far the amount of invective is indistinguishable from Twitter, other than coming predominantly from the other direction. The difference of a mirror image.
Good. They never responded to me!
Presumably this is the case for many other accounts too. Doesn't seem like you should follow or not follow based on potential blockage, as you could never keep up.
Or, it was just a typo. Anyway how does saying academic twice in a question answer the question? Are you saying Jesse is suggesting this site is for academics only, or primarily?
My guess is it's an error on the part of the newspaper.
Shouldn't have lost the election I guess.
How YOU doin!
The face that launched a thousand tweets.
Hey this is just like Twitter!
Perhaps someone can remind me of the need to block ie how often do you see the posts or whatever they're called here, of people you don't follow in the first place? Do their posts still show up via other means than following, frequently enough that it matters?
Hi. The Daily Item (Lynn MA) published an opinion piece by you (it seems) on Nov 22 under the byline "Nolan Finley" who is at the Detroit News. I emailed them, no response. See attached.
Yes and, what did you think?
Your mother wears army boots.
