Are you on Bluesky yet? That’s where all of the serious political players have been going lately. David Waldman came over on the Mayflower. Greg Dworkin looks as if he might hold onto the last bit of flotsam sinking into the ex-Twitter vortex, but even he is eyeing the Bluesky lifeboats.  “Unpopular opinion” as the engagement farmers say at Threads, but I like Threads more… Engagement bait is sort of… engaging to me and Bluesky kind of felt like it had a stick up its collective butt. Popularity might change that exclusivity.

Well, as I have been saying, Republicans have been exploiting an increasing technological and hardball gap, and it’s time to catch up.

Cabinet appointments will be made to those who sound as if they can best destroy them, or at least further shake public opinion towards them. Linda McMahon will have Americans question the value of a good education. Pete Hegseth will erode people’s faith in our military, our country and in God. And Matt Gaetz will tackle our concept of innate humanity and intelligence.

Liberals believe that there is nothing that can’t be cured with a good, thorough, explaining. The corollary to that belief is that ignorant people will be punished through their ignorance... eventually, somehow. No, those folks may be ignorant, but they’re not stupid. They’ve rebuilt all of their institutions to reinforce and congratulate themselves against any onslaught of reality. A couple of million of other people’s lives will hardly put a dent in that.
