So Mao doubled life expectancy? Is that why life expectancy has risen by about 40 years globally since 1950? He's either way more influential over global health, or perhaps not responsible for that change...

No those are his WORDS. His ACTIONS have been to consistently and repeatedly defend trans rights. Why are those worth so much less to you than words? Words, by the way, that anti-trans groups are correctly interpreting as support for trans people.
A quote from an article in The Advocate, it reads: "But notably, many of the right-wing groups opposing trans athletes’ ability to play in sports based on their gender identity also pounced on Talarico’s comments, criticizing the Democrat.

“It’s the new way to obscure their position because now they are redefining ‘fair and safe,’” posted Kim Chasby Jones, co-founder of the anti-trans Independent Council on Women's Sports. “You have to ask more direct questions.”"

All I'm gonna say is that if he pissed off the anti-trans groups by using so-called "anti-trans" language, maybe the message was much clearer to them than to many on our side. FOX News asked that question with the express purpose of making Dems mad at Talarico. I for one refuse to play that game.
A quote from an Advocate article about James Talarico's pro-trans stance. It reads "But notably, many of the right-wing groups opposing trans athletes’ ability to play in sports based on their gender identity also pounced on Talarico’s comments, criticizing the Democrat.

The sum of their anti-harassment policy is designed to prevent dogpiling. They are saying "don't violate our anti-harassment policy." People just need to follow the rules and they'll be fine. Here's what they are, you can see the rules in full on the quoted post from Bluesky.
Anti-Harassment: We create space for everyone to express themselves by prohibiting harassment and toxic behaviors.
Do not stalk, persistently target, or create malicious content designed to humiliate or degrade individuals, including through coordinated campaigns.
Do not abuse Bluesky features (lists, labels, community moderation tools), engage in bad-faith mass reporting, use automated harassment systems, or create single-purpose harassment accounts.
Accounts that engage in extreme or persistent toxic or disruptive behavior may face restrictions or removal. This includes accounts with a high number or proportion of:
Extreme or repeated personal attacks, such as insults or ad hominem attacks
Posts or responses made primarily to anger, provoke, or belittle instead of to contribute criticism or a genuine opinion
The use of hostile or inflammatory language clearly intended to create or contribute to an unwelcoming environment

Exhibit number one trillion:
A series of racist posts by Norm Ignorer. The first post is explaining why "wireback" is a funny slur, which reads "Because it evokes a well-known slur for Hispanics, and despite everyone's narcissistic preening, that makes it funny." User Lurks-No-More replied "'Actual racism makes it funny', got it." To which Norm Ignorer replied "Correct." They are unafraid of showing their whole asses.

These threads are fun.
A pair of posts by Keno Expert (@kenoexpert.bsky.social) correctly supporting trans rights and trans inclusion in sports. There are four posts separating them, all of which have been hidden by an intolerance labeler. Two posts are from a user who is a TERF, and two are from a user who has proven to be intolerant of others.

Packers fans 🤝 Cardinals fans Flipping a coin to see if we should be nervous, all season.
A tweet by Ian Rapoport that says: How about: "M. LaFleur says J. Love will miss a week with a sore ankle?"

Better?

He is quoting Payton Halas, who said: "LaFleur says Love will miss a week with a sore ankle."

This is going to be a long and confusing season.

The joke is a reference to the fact that both the Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers are coached by someone named M. LaFleur (Matt and Mike), and have a player named J. Love (Jordan and Jeremiyah).The Doofenshmirtz meme where he talks about nickels. It's just him looking to the right, in the top frame he's looking at a sock puppet. The top frame says "If I had a nickel for every J Love coached by M LaFleur, I'd have two nickels." The bottom frame says "Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."

A Hasan Piker supporter named Grand Regent Thragg posted "Nobody cares about a years-old quip. Ukraine is only popular among boomers who have one foot in the grave and still watch legacy news." An astonishingly pro-Putin thing to say.

Ok so your contention is that Harris took money from those "shell PACs." Can you explain the time-travel required for that to be true, considering when those PACs were founded? Can you maybe tell us the truth about why you posted that article?

It reads "Because the two super PACs were officially established early this year, federal regulations did not require them to disclose their contributors until after the primary — a gap that allowed their financial backing to remain hidden during the campaign."

Fascinating!
A screenshot of a Bluesky interaction. User TomBanjo (@billybojangles.bsky.social) has posted "Wow, BOB. You're a DICK" as a reply to another user with the handle BOB. The notable feature of the image is that BOB's post has been hidden by a labeler, with the reason given as "Suspected Inauthentic Behavior". Since the labeler is fairly rigorous, it seems fair to assume that if BOB isn't a bot, his behavior is close enough to bot behavior that the labeler nailed him as such. Tough luck, BOB.
