"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.
Anyway, my friends at Bluesky proper should start marketing this place with these kinds of quotes. It makes this website seem like the fucking Thunderdome when in reality it's a place where I post pictures of Viscous Brown Food-Like Substance On A Plate solely to unnerve people.
I never would’ve had the courage to apply to the Onion if you guys hadn’t been such a great presence here on bluesky, thanks!
Still can’t get over a chop suey sandwich…
You're... you're not *normal*, son! That plate of slop was as close to normal as you'll ever get!
Like "Come taste the worst ice cream BigBallz2004 ever tried", except for BigBallz2004 being an actually famous person
That’s my favorite dish.
Man, I’ve been saying this for months. I want Rose/Jay to charge me money for using this app, and use that money to advertise the benefits of Bluesky vs other social media apps (especially Twitter & Meta).
The friends I’ve convinced to make accounts had no idea Bluesky was even a thing, and they now use the app every day. I imagine people don’t realize this place isn’t a hellscape of ads, slop, and nazis.
I got suspended from Twitter on election day and was invited to appeal the decision. I opened an account here instead and I've never looked back.
Uh subscribe to The Onion, by the way. For like one more week you also get a tote bag. membership.theonion.com
I don't understand Nate Silver's argument. I mean, the Obama coalition was built on a mild form of economic progressive-ism and a far stronger form of social progressive-ism, and those majorities were, at one time, thought to be enduring for Democrats. He thinks that's *all* fallen apart?
That's back when people still lived partially offline. We had a president who still used a Blackberry
I did not do this *just* for The Bag That Totes, but still.
I need that tote! So sorry, New Yorker. You lose.
Does it come in a discreet brown paper wrapper, like Penthouse magazine in the late 1970s?
We all should.
I get home delivery! :)
but is the bag made from real onions?
What's up with InfoWars? Are you able to buy it?
Subscribed
How many onions does it hold?
At least 10, I would assume
Is this your EU subsidiary bsky.app/profile/thet...
I am so confused
I've been thinking about that tote bag. This was the post that put my tote bag buying impulse over the top.
What in the name of all that is holy is blueskyism? I get it that I am old and unhip but what the hell is he on about?
Terminal Twitter users being pissed they have to work to get people to pay attention to them.
I prefer my satire papers to also ward off vampires. -1
The siren call of a tote bag has claimed another victim. Me.
Legit just subscribed from Switzerland. Am over the moon that there’s a paper edition again
Just got my second paper, and I'm waiting to read it for my trip in 2 weeks so I can finish and leave it on the plane for someone else. Everyone will want to read what I'm reading since it always makes me laugh out loud.
Can current subscribers cash in on this tote bag deal? I want to impress my neighbors.
you could fit so many drugs in that
I love getting my monthly paper!!
The Viscous Brown Food-Like Substance is pretty unnerving, but the tote bag is the bomb. And a "real" paper, on newsprint and everything, too.
LOL to the dumbasses who subscribe to this offer! I got my The Onion subscription WITHOUT the stupid tote bag.
I'll bet you paid more for it AND didn't get the tote bag, which you could have given to your grandmother for Christmas, you cheapskate
Joke's on you, my grandma's been dead for fifty years! (My parents are also very dead.) My kids can get their own damn tote bags because I raised them right.
I'm tellin' ya, dude, you're a miser! 😉
You can always give it away. There’d never enough tote bags for groceries or whatnot. We have various New Yorker bags. I mean, go at it I guess.
Hell yeah, been down since day one?
What if I want a tote bag
Rock On!
Same, I like a good bio-degradable tote bag for guilt free parcel fribbling.
I can't help it if people want to suck.
What's your beef with the tote-bag?
clearly it’s jealousy
It smells like Onions and doesn't wash out.
You gotta watch the onion tote bag debate on YouTube to really understand.
What??
bsky.app/profile/theo...
Is this Dean Withers? I really adore him. Thank you for the link.
Oh god one of those jokes
Went looking for the tote bag video on YouTube and found this from the awesome Miriam Margolyes… Enjoy folks youtu.be/vy_v2BSst2M?...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Ha ha ha! Yes! (Seriously though, how can I get one...?)
The tote bag is optional - so there 😛
Joke's on you--the tote bag comes filled with assorted leftover prescription bottles and bath salts.
Right??? I get sent the damned things by everyone.
Me too. And my version never needs batteries. Its charge lasts all month.
THE [scribble] ION You people have more money than sense.
I don't really want it on paper but I kind of want a tote bag to go with my npr one and new Yorker one.
Electorally speaking, when was the last time Nate was right about anything? He is a one hit wonder.
Edgelord 😎
Nate’s a wee bawbag
As a Brit , please tell me me more about this delicious meal you’re taking photos of .😃😃😃
I really appreciate and respect the reasoning behind this but at the same time I feel sharing X slop is just giving the app more undue exposure but again, I see the reasoning
Native Chicaoan, so I wasn't un-nerved, but my first thought was, "Maybe St. Louis invented that, but Cincinnati's gotta have a take on it."
Yeah. I see some people here getting wild, but more of them being level-headed. I had someone ranting the Obama Hate at me -- seems he didn't like Obama trying to deal with the GOP. I replied: "Get a life." He didn't like that. I blocked him.
You really should have added a tiny sprig of parsley as your daily greens.
I'm unnerved just reading that
Honestly man, you’re just convincing me that I need to eat one of these Chop Suey sandwiches
If you want, I have an in with a media company that could do this. Bryce P. Tetraeder and I went to the very legitimate Bishop Sycamore High School together. We were even named the Time Person of the Year together in 2006, so obviously we're still close
Yes, I was unnerved...
two pundits enter, one pundit leaves
Sad balding gambling addicts tend to hate spaces of joy…
I like the pictures of animals 😎
This is the Alf Dick website
And we thank you for it. I think.
It’s wholly un-servable.
Even Lord Humungus feels like he’s screaming into the void sometimes
🤣
It's like thunderdome, but as in the aussie version of gladiators with the big foam sticks, and the stands are full of muppets
While I enjoy pics of viscous brown food-like substance, would like to share pic of 'meatball sub homemade' Also, how can Kat keep you in the same room after those beans?
That looks pretty good.
PS thank you
It was!
Wet food slop is the true Blueskyism we should be threatened about. In this essay I'll-
We have not forgotten "the sandwich", Tim! 🧐
Funny that Nate Silver sees himself as normal. 😂
He plays Poker, so YEAH!
It was disturbing.
Wait I want to see the food like substance
You know that needed cheese.
It did. It certainly did.
And some chopped onions. Cheese & onions MIGHT have made it look tastier. Emphasis on 'look'.
if for only the reason to slow what I'm guessing was high-speed digestion.
Thought it had been cheese…
theres brown caramel cheese. two birds one cup
It needed a freaking scoop of ice cream.
I support this take. A drizzle of Wiz and a couple of hot links too. Anything worth doing and whatnot…
Do not invoke the sandwich
I could not care any iota less about how important Bsky is to non-bsky users. I just like this form of communication. But on Xitter I would have died a slow and painful inner death. So I‘m just thankful for this space.
Nate Silver is the fuckwit of fuckwits.
Mr Onion plz. Stop the tyranny of that sandwich
“Viscous Brown Food-Like Substance On A Plate” Caramelized onion perhaps?
I'm wouldn't pay for Bluesky but I would happily carry a Blueskyism tote bag around. I only leave the house once or twice a week but I'd carry it then.
I just ate, Ben.
Yeah. And that was literally what he was shitposting last night, the night before? Slop, it was called. Hashbrowns, eggs, burgers...
A Pre-Shitpost if you will.
PROPHETIC SHITPOSTING! Yasss, @bencollins.bsky.social Prophet of the Shitposting Blueskyisms
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Being sent to Thunderdome is the least penalty you should endure for sharing instant diarrhea on a plate with the rest of us.
Bluesky is a huge projection of fascism. Banning whoever doesn't think like them.
For real, my feed is nature photos and the occasional culinary abomination.
No one under 70 has even seen such a thing!😂
Ruffled Endive!
"Hawaiian Cold Mold" (It's "Hawaiian" because of the 🍍)
Nah, no self respecting Hawaiian would make much less eat that abomination. 😂
Correct! Our Nana only "called" it "Hawaiian" 😋
you mean, you’ve actually eaten one of those things? (no offense to nana)
😋😋🍽
🤣🤣 Ill never tell...
😉
No but our Nana made a mean one at Easter
This is somehow worse than the "sandwich" @bencollins.bsky.social is talking about. 🤢 You win the Internet this afternoon, congrats. 😁
Oh no, Dan, wait, too much pressure...
🤢
Appetizing! Like Nana made for Easter!
ewwwwwww
Needs dollops of mayonnaise
Miracle Whip
Of course!
Personally I'm an anarcho-blueskyist
I’m very happy here and i really don’t understand why others don’t have a good time here (yes i do hehe)
You mean your slop-trolling ?? Hahahaha - yes, that was very funny !! I love how the reaction of most counter-posters was somewhere between utter fascination and sheer horror !!!
The man exists sole to whine
Soley* obviously
Delicious junket.
This is the last stop for me. I left X in late '22. Right after Musk bought it, my Jewish clients got harassed and left the platform. Feel vindicated seeing what it turned into. Left Zuck after he bent the knee to the fash. Given the sexy chatbots for kids and AI slop taking over, that seems right.
SlingerSky.
I mean, it's unlikely that a social network like Bluesky had any impact on the organization and amplification of something like No Kings Day where millions lined the streets in every state across the nation.
Someone translate Silver's first sentence into a logical sentence for me, please. I have no idea WTF he's saying.
bsky.app/profile/jooc...
We all know how much the existence of Parler and Truth social have hurt the right wing. Just another butt-hurt influencer without a home trying to burnish centrist credentials by shitting on the left.
the @nytimes.com is going to turn this inane idea into an op/ed isn't it? unless the Wash post beats 'em to it i suppose... good grief.
Is he saying… we are not normal? Question: Is it good for normal to be defined by a guy who wants us to consider outright fascists who call for racial violence an integral part of the social conversation and moving society towards its end goals? Very extra normal, now with more expired mayonnaise.
At this point, why would any liberal, progressive or Democrat listen to advice from Nate Silver He told us who he is We believe him
Down-ranking links, boosting bigots, banning journalists -- what will I do without all these things?!
Sarcasm #Blueskyism
& yes, shadowbanning is definitely a thing on the platform formerly known on as Twitter.
Be careful, the same people that own Bluesky are exactly the same people that sold Twitter to Musk 🇺🇲 culture is so indoctrinated by Wall Street & the CIA, that 🇺🇲 still thinks that there's absolutely nothing wrong with selling out your neighbours
What does that tweet even mean? Struggling to disentangle and guess what is meant by all the non-words.
Fuck Nate Silver. Is that motherfucker even relevant anymore?
Hello dear friend, I hope you will quote and share my pinned tweet. This is very important. My family suffers from malnutrition. Food is expensive, and everything...💔💔💔🙏
I think the most pathetic part of this is that he still publicly identifies with 538.
One again, Nate ain't great and Silver don't deliver
He see’s BlueSky as a threat, and it is to all the BS that is spilled by the Right.
Nate is wrong again .
Nate who?
Amen
Nate Silver couldn’t attract a decent following here because he has nothing meaningful or useful to say.
I mean… concern trolling is at least supposed to *seem* helpful.
It’s like Matt Yglesias with a metal plate in his head.
Fuck that guy and the crosstabs he rode in on.
I created a new Twitter account the other day as an experiment and purposely "followed" large media outlets like AP and the weather channel. My entire feed was immediately full of right-wing bots/influencer types and nothing else. It's a fucking cesspool.
Thank you for doing that experiment and telling us about it so we don’t have to try it.
Yeah, it wasn't pleasant. I even tried relentlessly blocking accounts to train the algorithm but nah, just more of the same no matter what
When I left Twitter last year, the only way I ever saw posts by most of the people I followed was if I went to their accounts to see what they were posting. My actual feed was almost exclusively bots, ads for MAGA-style merch, and abusive right-wing guys.
he sounds like an embittered has-been. SAD!
Nate’s just angry the BlueSky doesn’t have enough bots to constantly praise him and soothe his fragile ego
Nate is a gay, Jewish man his embrace of a bigoted, Nazi-filled site has some serious "self-hate" vibes
Eww he’s jewish? Give him back! No!
Eww he’s gay? Give him back! No!
Just 19% of Americans believe in QAnon, but I don't see Nate Silver lecturing Trump to stop reposting insane QAnon memes depicting him as the Earth's messiah because it will turn off "normal people." Nate's just mad Bluesky users haven't embraced him as a statistics god.
No idea what Silver is on about. The left winning? Since when has that ever happened? Is he confusing the 'left' with progressives? Because they are NOT the same thing. Very strange, virtually incoherent comment.
Nate Silver, famously a normal person.
Nate is a real disappointment. He was a progressive posting as pablano at Daily Kos when it started about 22 years ago.
I was just thinking that exact same thing. How poblano has fallen...
Hard disagree there with Nate.
They make new isms everyday, it’s impressive.
And "poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning" pretty much sums Nate up to a T.
Here's to another year of dog whistles!
When it comes to his commentary, Nate is basically morality agnostic, which is why I think people should disdain, or at least ignore, him.
Nate was interesting with his poll analysis in the beginning. Then, something happened. Marco and JD have had similar experiences. Odd.
Also, I'd wreck him at a poker table b/c he's terminally on tilt.
unrelated but I bet Trump tried to play poker exactly *once*
If Trump ever took an interested in it, he'd do like he does for golf: only let people play who agree to call him the winner.
But then we will miss his great punditry like saying Eric Adams should be the democratic nominee for president.
"nazi agnostic lane": v good.
Can you guys start a serious paper? I kinda miss those.
Serious question: when’s the last time Nate Silver was right about anything?
I think there may have been something to do with sports two decades ago. Otherwise....nope nope nope.
And nope.
2012. Look it up.
13 years ago?
Yep, in today's environment you can be right one and coast for a loooooooooong time. That dumb mf-er is wrong about everything now and still has a career.
James Carville enters the chat to confirm
Nate Silver knows he would get hammered here on Bluesky !
Damn right, Tim Onion!
My name is Nate and much like that site I sold, which was sold and sold and sold and then shut down, I am irrelevant.
Do the qualities that result in becoming a large and successful newspaper also result in winning elections? Or are those things different?
Brother Nate would appear to be huffing some sort of carcinogen.
Nate, wrong again
bsky.app/profile/niff...
Fuck em bsky.app/profile/mich...
Kinda
I know it'd be better to engage the entire population. But at this moment X and other platforms are too toxic, heavily surveilled, manipulated and over populated by bots and group PR efforts. There's a bit of that here, but BlueSky is in its infancy and retains plenty of room for honest exchanges.
My theory. The color revolutions freaked elite leaders out as to the potential power social media was able to confer to the peasants. They set about disabling or managing and manipulating our ability to continue to engage in that manner on older, established platforms.
BlueSky has provided a temporary respite from the march of their progress. But it is too risky for them to allow this forum to replace the company. youtu.be/21fSUVZsoaE?...
Arab Spring taught them both the power of positive clicks, & the danger of realtime relays. X was destroyed on this premise, imho.
It is easy to slip into saying 'they' as if there's only one of them. I do find it interesting that BlueSky emerged into broader public consciousness just as Trump 2.0 was kicking off in earnest. Makes me suspect not all of them are bad guys.
Oh, absolutely... We were all so hopeful in the promise of next generation, that only when the scandals broke did wiser minds come together to create alternative paths. They can't own 'em all. 🦋🪶
So we'll flow around them.

The difference between the feelings of fear & excitement, is simply the prospect of a positive outcome; trust in your speed of attack, knowing that the opponent knows only one course of action.
I 100% agree... Currently the only socMed I use. I scan Reddit for breaking & timely items, as well as locally, but after that, it's the 🦋.
🎙️🫳
Fuck #NateSilver
@natesilver538.tweet.pub Nate Silver is a $hita$$.
never forget 🫡
Nate maintains that Dems would sweep the midterms if more Bsky replies would be just "shitlib" or "libtard", you know, normal people replies
Nate Silver is a click-bait wanna be dick. And we're falling for it. I love you @bencollins.bsky.social !!!! Congrats!!! I love Bluesky!!! Shitter is a dying, drying out tequila worm, wriggling a slow, painful death on a hot sidewalk in Mexico.
Get him ass
He’s irrelevant
Oh, hit the road, Nate, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more.
I rarely see anything Silver posts, but when he does there is always this smell of propaganda and trying to manipulate people's thinking. Bluesky is more mellow and doesn't include maga shitheads. I'm also still on Twitter because of some people I follow, and I like to get mean and nasty with magats
What a fucking idiot. He’s full of shit. Grifter.
Please forgive me but…
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, etc.
Nate Silver is exactly the kind of guy who frequents incel telegram.
“terminally ill with internet poisoning” — what great phrase
🥇
he’s a POS and has never been right about anything! His own work is the proof
Nate Silver’s a cunt. In fact, odds are, he’s the biggest useless cunt ever to parlay a fringe mathematical expertise into an even more fringe pay for play occupation.
I've double-checked your calculations and you are 100% correct.
He's just mad that his rival, Golden Nathan, is drowning in likes for his viral skeets
Ich denke, hier ist der Punkt, an dem Nate Silver seine Reputation als "weiser Mann" ein bisschen strapaziert hat. Was denkt ihr, wie er sich in dieser Situation verhalten würde?
Tell me, how does the onion that rights comedy pieces handle things when a story they write becomes real?
Bluesky now platform of choice for science community It's not just you. Survey says: "Twitter sucks now and all the cool kids are moving to Bluesky" arstechnica.com/science/2025...
I like science.
This is excellent news.
Who the hell does @natesilver538.tweet.pub think are "normal" people? & What are these "characteristics" Blueskyism embodies that makes progressivism "unappealing"? Criticizing or mocking Trump? Resisting cruel immigration tactics? Fighting against climate change, FOR voting rights, FOR vax sanity?
Nate Silver is an anagram of "lie servant"
Clever
Honestly I didn’t realise just how toxic it was until I got off it…
I see Silver is still Big Mad this place is pretty inoculated against him and his "have you tried being 2014 republicans?" shit flies as well as a balloon made of fishing nets.
so to recap: raising one’s consciousness (woke) is undesirable. spending time in a place one likes (blueskyism) is undesirable. so the end goal is that we’re all stupid and angry all the time?
"If you could subtract the things normal people don't like about Leftism Leftists would win more often" The Empathy? Yeah, but then we'd just be fucking Liberals
could anyone be more irrelevant - and *clueless* - than nate???
...but mostly inflation.
Amen. Late era Twitter is the suckiest thing ever. BlueSky is great and I am enjoying myself and learning on social media again.
At this point, if he came over here, he'd hit the top-five for most blocked accounts in a day.
The nuclear block + culture of block-and-move-on is such an effective vaccine against infection of this kind of guy
within hours
Wait, did Nate Silver create the Baileys? 🤣
This fool predicted ONE election correctly ever, and thinks he’s an expert on everything.
Is Nate Silver actually saying that progressives are not normal? Asking for a progressive.
Nate Silver is still employed?
I used to be a big fan of Silver when he first became big but WTF happened to him?? 😩😫
Is Blueskyism Kamala Harris and Andrew Cuomo? If not, maybe it might help win Democrats some elections.
I’d argue normal people don’t want to interact with fascists on a daily basis, if at all. 🤷🏽♂️
Right? I'd say more of the normal people have left x or rarely engage there anymore.
It’s a joy to get the Onion in the mail.
i have an unfortunate memory. arianna huffington was guest hosting the rachel maddow show and tried to awkwardly deliver a pre-written line that was somehow flirty with nate silver. it was so cringe i turned off the television. no, this wasn't a "dream" and i wasn't on "drugs."
Nate Silver definitely is not who I would go to to define "normal people."
What happened to Nate Silver’s brain?
He got lucky once, and everyone decided to overlook the fact that he didn't have one.
Yea, but how can you be sure that someone is a true American Voter if they don’t have pussy in their bio?
I don’t think Nate Silver is with 538 anymore.
Who listens to Nate Silver anyway?
I enjoy Bluesky because it's a nazi free zone. There is enough damage being done by the Trump regime every day, I don't need to argue with his followers like on Twitter.
Nate “2024 is a coin flip” Silver strikes Copper yet again.
Poor Nates Liver
I mean… FUCK NATE SILVER
Haha I’m missing out fs and gotta remedy this.
His whole life is about statistics yet he lost so much in gambling. Maybe he should ask AI to pick his teams and voting results. Since his relevance has passed!
What leads conservatives to think that progressives should take their advice on how to be better progressives?
Nate Silver is an authority of being unappealing to normal people 🤔
Never expected Nate to be "look what you made me do" ing out here like this.
Nate silver is completely fungible with Scott Adams
Silverism: An obsession with adding -isms to words. Also, Twitter is not “Nazi agnostic.”
Lets be honest, reality getting so fucking weird that the Onion stopped being satire is what propelled the onion into the stratosphere
Republicans always lie and screw us over!!! Never forget that!!!
Silver says Blueskyism, Macron says Wokism. Let's call the whole thing off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K75g...
We live rent free in their heads!
Staying on twitter is like watching Fox News.
I wish to know more about Blueskyism. What are our central tenets? What is considered holy? By that measure, what is considered holey?
Nate Silver: once again proving that he has his fingers on the pulse of Amer... --a large toad.
who is this person?
Glad Nate hates bluesky. He’s a master at being wrong. Bodes well for us.
People DO peak. Silver did.
Nate Silver opining on what's appealing to normal people. Who's going to tell him?
Didn't realize there was a such thing as "Blueskyism". What about "Xism"? Or does "isms" only apply to social media entities with diverse conversations & posts about the current admin policies?
“to avoid Blueskyism that Leftism” — what do those words mean? And what is he trying to say? Made himself irrelevant a long time ago
I think Nate is confusing Blue Sky with Tumblr.
Don't you just love that Nate thinks the onus is on us but not the sewage on X...
The progressivism is what I'm looking for, all the progressivism they don't make a platform for when they should!
This just reads like another moderate that believes Americans want boring do-nothing politicians.
Who gives a shit about what Nate Silver has to say?
Nate Dead To Me Fucking Silver can GFH❗️❗️❗️
My god he’s tiresome
"Blueskyism" but it's just talking about Hangman Adam Page and memes about Trump dying.
Hangman did NOTHING wrong.
1000%
Nate Silver never tells right wingers to be less fascist or less racist. This is fear.
Gee, thanks. Now I have to get the nasty smell of Musk out of my nose right now.
Y'all should stop using the site that shits on me all the time. It's super lame. This one owned by a nazi is the cool one.
Lmao “progressivism is unappealing to normal people”? That person has the intellectual capacity of a gnat.
What is Blueskyism? Is it not being interested in engaging with harmful disingenuous bullshit?
Nate Silver is still around? Does anyone listen to him anymore??
Get his ass
Nate Silver is the Bill Maher of James Carvilles.
mr tim onion i wanna say things but i'll get banned
Nate Silver couldn't dream of running a newspaper!
Blueskyism is practiced by Blueskyites and we have Blueskyrites.
Nate has always leaned toward the end of the spectrum.
Nate should’ve stuck to sports
And who, pray tell, are normal people? Is there a test people can take to determine who’s normal and who isn’t? Did you take it?
An absurdly arrogant man, that Nate.
"Yes. Ostracizing and rejecting people is how you win popularity contests." - An incel, probably
I’m Blueskyism
“Normal people” and “progressivism”, huh? What a creep.
Impressive, but if your publication is in want of a bordering-on-has-been movie critic I *think* together we could turn those numbers AROUND! 🫡 (...no but for real though I'm always looking for work so yea 🤣)
#NateSilver after the lackluster job you did predicting election outcomes and missing that they were rigged (see Smart Elections lawsuit) how are you even still relevant ?
When an overrated tool like Silver is trashing Bluesky on Twitzi you know the Fourth Reich is getting worried.
What a tool Silver is...
I live with a family of gamers. Did anyone else read that as Blueskyrim? lol.
"Forget it Jake, it's Nate Silver."
LMBO.
Conservatives carved themselves a safe space on X. They're lonely. 💔
He must know how badly he's going to get roasted if he comes over here and it's KILLING HIM that he has to hang out on twitter with all those jarks and know that he belongs there. JARKS
"Bluesky isn't important but it takes up a weirdly large amount of my brain power that isn't devoted to my gambling addiction."
Humanity's going through a dark night of the soul, and the term "Blueskyism" sounds optimistic. I'll take that over trolls and bots.
Nate Silver is weird. He needs to stay with the toxic broligarchy stew that is twitter and keep Bluesky out of his crusty mouth.
I’ve got absolutely no use for Nate Silver.
Bliapism
A ridiculous amount of fucks not given Thanks for that GO @bsky.app 🥂!
‘normal people’?!? 🤣🤣🤣 He is an idiot.
He can’t even proofread his post before hitting the button. Who cares what he thinks. He got right once through dumb luck and has ridden that wave ever since.
The Nazi Agnostic Lane!!! AHahahahahaha
Well he is a nazi/sympathizer, so hes fine. Pathetic and fine where he is. Ive never seen so many republicans claim to hate a party they were never invited. I recall them hate spamming if you dont like our new nazi site, leave! Now that the ppl and advertisers have they again want to cry.
I like that "what makes progressivism unatttactive to normal people" bit. Embodies two things: 1) They don't like not being able to be bigoted trolls out loud. 2) They think being a bigoted troll is "normal".
Scuse me... "unappealing". I was missing a word mid-edit and guessed wrong.
Oh, he's mad-mad, lol
What happened to that guy?
And fuck Nate Sliver [not a typo]!
I assure you, as a Scott Jennings who isn’t on CNN destroying humanity for fun and profit, that those on Bluesky are just as ignorant, intellectually lazy, and dangerous as MAGA twitter victims. (I’ve reported threats.) Bluesky skews just a little further to the gooey center of the rotting corpse.
some folks don't want to admit they're ok hanging out at the nazi bar
Few things are more irksome than being reminded that Nate Silver is still out there…
Proud to be a Blueskyist skeetposting from Devon
STFU Nate. You don't know what you're talking about.
Am I supposed to know or care who Nate Silver is?
20 years ago, sure. Today? No.
Big fail that Chicago Humanities Festival is platforming him this year. Thanks but no thanks.
Nate Silver has always been a muttering numbskull, afraid of his own little shadow & wanting to be like the big boys. If Bluesky bugs him, you know we're in the right.
Can someone please point to the last time Nate Silver had any shred of credibility or relevance. I’ll be right here waiting.
Progressivism? Is that even a word? What would it even mean? I suppose this guy just likes 'isms'
I mean he has lots of bad takes. He probably has thin skin too. And while I wouldn’t frame the issue the way he did, I think it is true that middle of the road Dem leaders/pundits do need to rebut the crazy and unpopular shit the far left does
The right blows it out of proportion and misrepresents the extreme positions of the minority far left as the common place views of most Dems, but Dem leaders and pundits have basically refused to touch culture war issues; they cede the narrative when they need to be involved in shaping it
And more generally speaking, we desperately need a no bullshit news org. We have to have a voice of reason and authenticity to expose the lies and bullshit of R Wing propaganda (Dated but still relevant; and clearly multichannel + internet 👇) youtu.be/ApX9YLjqv90?...
Like it’s crazy there’s no show / podcast or consistent source of to-the-point concise articles / emails that I can share with my Trump voting relatives to even begin to have a discussion There should be a source ppl of any background can tune in to to hear a reasonable discussion
sir, the dhs is tweeting out the 14 words and half the right is competing the other half for who can deny the holocaust faster. squidlovr69@bsky posting “money shouldn’t exist” on here isn’t causing any of that.
What crazy/unpopular shit, exactly?
No number of people can show far left stuff is popular and weak ass shit isn’t for them to acknowledge it
It makes me happy that Silver has intimate knowledge about the tax law of gambling losses
Note the complete lack of similar discourse from people like Nate Silver about Truth Social.
These guys are just projecting decade-old tumblr stereotypes onto bluesky in the hopes that people will be discouraged from coming here
To date no rtwing or otherwise cesspool ‘community’ has gained a foothold. Long live decent moderation. May it ever be so. My fav Laura Loomer banned in under 60 minutes. I am so grateful.
it's so wild to me because decade old Tumblr stereotypes was in reaction to it being "women are people" and "racism is wrong" 101
With any luck the Twitter/X porn will over take the Nazis and then X can be true to its moniker.
He never recovered from getting one flukey prediction right only to realize he’s still a mediocre white dude, so he did the only thing a guy like that could do: join the Sour Grapes Society and strive to make everyone equally miserable.
The Democrat party did not lose because they weren’t moderate enough. They lost because the establishment has no platform and was continually bludgeoned by those who did.
Who the he’ll is Nate Silver?🤔
It is wild how many people still use twitter after the owner did nazi salute. Even if there weren't alternatives (which obviously there are), it would be worth abandoning it as to not support nazis.
Nate Silver hasn't been relevant for a decade, this is a Housewives level move for camera time.
Wonder if he has large wager on Bluesky failing
Simply put Twitter pays it's big hitters too much for them to step away - Bluesky doesn't reward the hate if you have no real content behind it
Silver had one great insight about aggregating poling and has been living off that praise for over a decade. Dozens of people have improved on his theory in those intervening years. He’s now just a has-been yelling at the clouds louder and louder, praying someone might give him the time of the day.
Yup.
Nate Silver is trying to claw back the relevancy he once had. Interest in Silver has declined with each election cycle since 2012. I wonder what changes he should make so he can find himself on top again? He mattered once.
Making good predictions?
Ok you got me with this one. Can't wait for my first copy and new tote. You guys rock.
Heaven forbid I can talk about Superman comics with people and not having people show up and calling it "goyslop" and similar things. This is truly hell or whatever they're trying to see I guess? Not having to deal with racists and horrible people?
