Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Again, please stop associating conservatism with GOP wackos. They are not the same. Abused terms do not mean the use of the term is correct. Call them out as MAGA shit heads of GOP crooks, but leave the conservatism out of it means to preserve your right of choice, your environment and liberty. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That was hard for me as well. There is a lot of “go find your people” here vs an algorithmic process forcing noise at you. Overall, much more chill and higher quality interactions, though there are typical and maybe worse other issues such as hyperactivity in some groups making it harder to engage. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 23/09/2026That seems kind of like rage bait. No I am saying that I have conservative principles and those do not always, and these days, not often align with the GOP. Allow for a separation of ideologies and political parties. I know many conservatives who are no longer or never were pro GOP. 101 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 22/09/2026@realtexaspaul.com you were almost on point but you lost me man. I am a conservative and I am anti Trump, GOPoop and MAGAT. You are being over broad with the language. Conservativism is not the problem, rather the association it currently has with GOP. They are not the same. be a bit kinder to us. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I would be fine with this, provided those union clauses exclude forced participation clauses. I am pro union organization, but when someone is not interested in being a member, such unions should not be able to compel that person to pay dues against thier will. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Looks over at the photo on the news of Trump and GPO wearing “Trump 2028” hats….. nope… nope it is not. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I have enjoyed it for what it is while wishing for what it is not. So much of the writing does not make sense, but you know… glass of water in the desert… so I will enjoy it for what it is. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Ahhhhhhh I had forgotten about that episode. Love the show as it is a better Trek than Star Trek has been for years. Got it! Thanks. 110 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Wait I do not get the context of the image. Can you clarify? 200 2
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 21/08/2026@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social it pains me but I have to delete my BBC app as I refuse to pay them for news access. I guess add revenue is not enough to fund access. They will loose readers in the US which to me is a miss as US readers drive UK mindshare and shapes our understanding. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Very excited about this series. The world needs a good Green Lantern movie/series. The material demands it! 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I guess this has some positive outcomes in that much of the oil dependent world now has more incentive to move to renewables. Long term distrust of all parties involved should drive people to derisk their economy. Of course most of this is solved by Russia leaving Ukraine. US is not solvable yet. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I do that with a lot, but my tart never is perfect, Usually to much lemon. Still lovely tart! 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 07/08/2026That seems to be an under reported outcome with this. An all white boys hard right religious state of Tennessee will, no matter what, have a female governor. Maybe that is growth. Now to get ride of the preverbal Karen candidate that is Marsha who’s I and others here distrust… 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I think that is why North Korea and China are helping so much with Russia they learn on the job. Every global defense company is doing the same. This is not uncommon in any war, just more so in this one as the good guys (Ukraine) and the bad guys (the other jerks) seek help from anyone. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Texas Paul is very cogent with how you make these videos. One item to consider on the national oil reserves of our country and any others is to look at Ukraine decimating Russia’s infrastructure. Drones now pose a strategic threat to those reserves. That may increase need and volumes needed. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 06/08/2026So the article spine appears more negative, but the system worked and stopped. Russia is less caring of negative outcomes. They just need meat, but good for Ukraine and allies in vetting people. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Respectfully I disagree. I find, even with my own parents, that they vote out of fear of the extreme views (or extreme to them). The “safe and similar” feel to them is more consumable than the far different. We need to show them there is more common ground than extreme views. Just mu thoughts. 000 0

Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I am not close to this specific issue, but my question is should there be conditions to use of federal dollars on higher education. Should it be tied to a planned outcome like earning potential vs value to society if that degree? I think there is a fair argument it could be appropriate, but…. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I love the perspective of this. It tells a story or makes your create one when you look at it. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Not trying to butt in here, but had a question. Is there a better solution to the problem? Theft levels are high, which drives the behavior. This is a bad solution, but what is the alternative they should be doing? This model makes everyone feel like prison store attendees, even the workers. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Does that constitute kidnapping and salve labor? Is the clone legally a person. I am a twin, my brother is a person. The clone is a person. 020 2
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I think the TVA was built by socialism is a bad argument itself. It was for public good and public works projects are. The better pathway and discussion is why do we need most socialist policies today and that is due to rapidly accelerating wealth disparity that the old models never account for. 110 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 20/07/2026I find this comment silly. Your problem is not the data center which has been around for a long time, it is water and power use that drive up costs… but we like jobs and infrastructure. Attach the root of the issue not the symptom else those jobs go elsewhere. There are solutions for the willing. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I took the opportunity to delete the @developers.google.com Google News app on my phone.

Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I used to be in News as paper editor for a short bit. All the things you would do to corroborate truth is now at high risk. There is going to be bigger and bigger issues and the crooks now can say “that is fake news” as it is harder to prove it is not. And the burden is always on the reader. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 14/07/2026That is a much bigger concern than any one platform. I think the latest is that the images from the CNN guy was an old photo while the one with him and his wife is recent. But the “what is true and how do I know it” is hard. Deep fakes are getting better and old news is now the tool of the admin.static.klipy.comThe Office Michael ScottALT: The Office Michael Scott 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 14/07/2026So your issue is with AI not the platform itself. Or is your hope that BS has a magic button to stop that. Just wondering where you were going with this one. Most of those photos are clearly memes, many in bad taste, but clearly spotable. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Wow the number of bot accounts are not just increasing but accelerating. Information ops mostly, clearly Russian origins but more. And it is so obvious that it should be systematically removed by automation. These jerks done change my mind, but they sure generations a lot of garbage headlines. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I do t think that is true. I think it is about attribution of activity to increase targetability of ads while increasing the ability of the US government to conduct end to end surveillance, not just in the US but the world. 230 3
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 30/06/2026I have been there many times and will continue to do so. But change starts at home, so I too will work to repair, rebuild and rectify the amazing number of holes Trump and the GOP have shown we have in the balance of power and corruption issues. So much exposed and needs to be thoughtfully fixed. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Speak truth. I am an American, ashamed of what the GOP has done. I live here and I can not trust our country to do good or be good to others. They lead and so many fools followed. We proved to the world how weak, divided and frankly stupid when we forget what makes us great. I hope we can learn. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 29/06/2026How does this kind of post help anything. By adding line two, you denigrate your potential readers while leaving it up to those same potential readers to resolve if you just them a “Fuckwit”. Why… what did you gain other then perhaps lowering others opinion of you because they may be insulted. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 26/06/2026There is truth. It is not a game for I win babies. It has challenge and it does not care if you die. But it is fun, it has so much flex in build and play style and there is surface play depth and real depth in crafting, build style and what not that D4 does not provide. Worth it after you adjust. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I have done both. POE2 is better and more flexible overall, I think. They are also increasing pace of development. I still play D4 here and there, but having fun in POE2. 100 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Well said my fellow Tennessean. Here in our state and across our country, it feels like people associate Juneteenth with the same thing as maybe a Kwanzaa holiday. “A black people thing.” The reality is that this date is the beginning of America, actually being free. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Just finished reading the MOU between his Orangeness and Iran. Yep, USA lost the war and Iran won it. Out side the “we agree to talk about removing uranium under supervision” soft commit, ever single thing shows America lost this war, as many of us expected. Spin it boys, lie to us about how we win. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Went to see HeMan movie this evening. I have to say, I enjoyed it much more than expected. I think it did what it needed to do to do. It was funny, while still being true to the original work. It was campy in all the right ways with the right humor for us 12 year olds inside. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Those books were very good. I can recommend the Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentlemen Bastard series) or the Tyrant Philosopher series if your in a slump? These helped me out when I hit a wall. 010 1
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 20/05/2026He did the brave thing, the hard thing that his establishment did not like. He should run as an independent and split the Republican vote and then have the dem drop out. It would give him true independence. 000 0
Fig @figmistake.bsky.social · 13/05/2026@altnps.bsky.social strictly speaking, he can be truthful and accurate with his statement. He just has to be targeting all journalists for it to be true. Though I don’t give him credit for that. 000 0
