do i intensely frustrate some of you regularly I wonder. like, you think I've come around on some thing I'd disagreed with and then I post something making it clear I haven't?

Must frustrating habit is posting about a disastrous baserunning error in a Yankees game that I’m intentionally not watching.

i don't really think so, i mostly think whatever we disagree over is well reasoned or at least in good faith you have a different perspective to me that i find valuable and unlike a lot of other people you're actually smart

i've always occupied this awkward spot between low-trust leftist and high-trust partisan that makes people on both sides mad at me. it's gotten me 8000 followers here, more than I ever had on twitter, but I wonder what it looks like

oh I know I'm just incredibly picky because my default way of using this site is the 'mutuals' list

ah interesting, mine is 'following'. or sometimes 'OnlyPosts', but frankly i forget that feeds outside the main one like 97% of the time i never EVER use discover or whatever the algorithmic one is called

i think if this happened to me i'd 1) have a mental breakdown and 2) ask "oh my god WHY?"

I also have an opinion set that makes most people mad for not following the accepted battle lines, so I respect it

Is it possible to be a low trust partisan? Is that me?

it’s a living @joewileydc.bsky.social

good on Palestine and good on trans rights are essentially the only battle lines I care about anymore in terms of who I follow. I can assume anyone who passes those two checks are good faith actors even when I disagree
