I'm done trying to explain to people that BlueSky was initiated primarily by Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, who left the social network after claiming they were making the same mistakes as Twitter. It looks decent right now as a mass alternative to the galactic dumpster fire. But nobody should be under any illusion that things won't eventually devolve due to human nature and malign influence. This despite having become popular w/marginalized groups during beta and being a public benefit corp.

I forgot to mention that CoSo now has full representation in Valencia, Spain!😂


From Wikipedia:
"Every Kennedy elected to public office has served as a Democrat, while other members of the family have worked for the party or held Cabinet posts in Democratic administrations."

WAY TO TRAILBLAZE ROBERT!

I realize I haven't been as good of a neighbor as I should be to CoSoNauts who rely on filters. I will endeavor to fix that.

Privacy advocates gained access to a powerful tool bought by U.S. law enforcement agencies that can track smartphone locations around the world. Abortion clinics, places of worship, and individual people can all be monitored without a warrant. 404media.co/email/a400f89b-10e

CoSo,

As we watch the US get broken up and sold for parts--a victim of greed and ignorance--the rarity and value of this platform grows.

For seven years, @th3j35t3r has prioritized our safety and experience. He has never sold us out or worked an angle to profit from us.

He has given us the means to connect organically and without manipulation.

Now, more than ever, we need this place.

Let's get to 100% community funded this month.

Help, if you can

Amsterdam "Jew hunt"

Early on Friday morning, Israel’s Foreign Ministry advised all Israeli citizens not to leave their hotels as it worked with local authorities to ensure their safety

From the looks of my retirement and crypto portfolios (much smaller than traditional assets), one could easily surmise that the financial community is very happy with Trump. This is especially true of crypto, where the entire ethos is centered on unregulated speculation (even though it started with laudable goals) and clear communication from a Trump admin that he will open things up.

Tradfi is different. The #1 desirable is stability. Wall St would've flown under a Harris win as well.

One good piece of news: almost all the pro-choice referenda have succeeded. Except Florida, because of DeathSantis's illegal meddling and South Dakota because it's SD...

Prediction : RFK Jr will be gone in the first 6 months of another Trump term.

I just made all that shit up, just like MAGAts and Trump do every single day.

I'm contemplating posting this on FB tomorrow and seeing how far it goes:

I just heard from two really good friends high up in the office of the PA SoS that they managed to hack some ES&S and Clear Ballot machines in Westmoreland, Washington, and Luzerne counties. They will now flip all votes from Trump to Harris but retain Trump on the voter verifiable paper ballot. They said our democracy is too important and they're willing to go to jail for it. God bless these American heroes!

This man is everything JD Vance wishes he could be, in every universe...

Went to a donation station here in the city today to drop off water and canned goods… There’s about five or six of these in and around the city and people are really out and helping.

@hallmarc
Those people were props in a farce and not at all integral to the plot

The plan started months before the election and Jan 6
A- sow distrust
B- recruit fake electors in battleground states
C- convince Pence to reject the people's vote and accept fake electors

I'm asking people to stand up if they see a similar plot take shape, not to participate in a plot

It's apples and xylophones
