If we include YIMBY policies as part of 1., I am with you!

Listen to one of his recent speeches on it. He really sounds batshit

WV is surprising. I'd like to read something about that

He looks disappointingly healthy. I thought he was on his way out.

Not just that, since Twitter was merged with xAI, SpaceX will be subsidizing his money-losing social media business as well

I hold the unpopular view that a large percentage of voters just pick the candidate that they find more charismatic

I think this is at least partially due to the global nature of social media. Antisemitism was always higher outside of the US, and before the rise of social media US kids weren't exposed to as much of it.

Connecting to your recent substack, this kind of abortion pushback would be much harder to pull off in a post-Trump GOP

It seems like the Bluesky message to centrists is "Why are you still on the Nazi site" while at the same time "Go back to the Nazi site, you're not wanted here"

I've never been a Fox News viewer. And thank you for making my original point better than I could.

I've never voted for a Republican in my life. But you'd like to kick me out of the tent because you think there are too many people who are against Trump who don't pass your purity test. This is a surefire way to lose elections.

^^^ Yes, this is exactly my point right here. This is why Bluesky will never replace Twitter unfortunately

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

i wish I could quit X altogether, but there are still enough voices over there that I want to hear, so I'm stuck being both here and there. If they could make Bluesky more welcoming to both center-left and center-right, that would help.

My granddaughter just asked me yesterday what 32+35 was and got really excited when I said 67... thanks for explaining this to an old man lol

Takeaway is that Covid job shakeups were really good for the bottom 50%?

It's not even a fee for accepted applications.. it's a fee even to apply. You could pay 100k and get nothing

I beg all of you, if you are tempted to dunk on Charlie Kirk's death, please remember that this little girl just lost her father too.

I really wanted this site to succeed and replace Twitter, but sadly it doesn't seem likely to happen.

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

If all you hope for BlueSky is to be like a very online progressive subreddit, that's fine. But I personally was hoping that it completely replace Twitter as the center for political discussion on the internet, and it doesn't look like there is any hope for that at this point.

I kind of wondered if the reason the EU made that unfavorable deal was that they anticipated this decision?

I find myself using it more than StackOverflow more and more ymmv

Well if you want an example, just the other day it helped me diagnose a complex network routing problem that had been giving me headaches for months.

This reminds me of the old accountants at the steel mill I worked at who were stressed out because they had to learn Excel.

I agree, but this seems like political suicide for any politician trying to run for statewide or nationwide office.

I seriously think he could win the GOP nomination in 2028

It seems to me that markets won’t react because of TACO….. at least until we get closer to August 1

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

It irritates me that he uses that 21 million number all the time which has absolutely no basis in reality, and there's no pushback at all. We've just accepted that he makes shit up and let it go.

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

It’s a shame… I really wanted this place to succeed

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

I’m a centrist Dem. I would like very much for the other site to fail and this one to succeed. It seems to me like this is not happening because this site is extremely unwelcoming to people with differing opinions

Expect shareholder lawsuits if the board doesn't ask him to step down

gravylake.bsky.social @gravylake.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Ugh, I really wish we could get off twitter and away from the Nazis, but this place has its own deep dysfunction. If you abandon it, I guess I’ll go back to following you over there.
