Initially I was frustrated with the rise of self-checkout but I appreciated how stores passed the savings on to me rather than pocket the money, fire armies of workers & make me do a job I suck at. It’s also why I’m optimistic about AI! I have been kicked in the head by several horses.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

I hope everyone got their fill of joyous NYC/Knicks content, because the Carolina Hurricanes' fan is going to be filling your feeds with minutes of lukewarm content any day now as they try and let the rest of the state know they brought home a championship.

I only remember 1 episode from 15 years ago where he challenged a Chicago Deep Dish guy and the judgement was heavily, clunkily edited because they clearly had to cut out the chicago based judges saying "fuck Bobby flay we are going to rig it for our guy" and successfully doing that.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

And I am preemptively exhausted by the hand wringing takes when the normal people attempt to do so. We will get to watch our greatest pundits fret over if fixing a massive problem is actually just as bad as creating one because both things are 'unprecedented '

James @jekstrom.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
Im not sure if "bombing to win" has the same flaw, but a formative college experience of mine was wondering why Pape was so defensive in a class on his book "dying to win". Then i took a class that debunked that book in 3 pages because he selects on the dependent variable, methodological trash.

so this question has come up in conversation recently: obviously, bluesky has features that allow you to disable interactions like replies and quote posts. but is doing so contrary to the spirit of social media? is it antisocial behavior? maybe even unethical? interested to hear everyone's thoughts

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

If somebody attempts a coup, and then they’re not held accountable by elites and institutions, the public will draw the conclusion that it’s not a big deal.

If twitter had a meaningfully engaged user base, let alone one so strong as to represent "the common", its Ads wouldn't look like ones normally reserved for illicit web pages. Real companies didn't stop advertising there on principle - they left because it would be a waste of money to stay.

It's illegal to film at polling places, but ICE agents will be forced to have body cameras, so as soon as they start recording they will be violating the law and can be arrested. Checkmate, Republicans.

Even what this text says on its face contradicts itself- "Joe Biden stood by as leftist activists and academics"...the plain meaning is that the president DID NOT PARTICPATE in advancing a radical agenda! "Activists" and "academics" DO NOT SET THE POLICY OF THE US GOVERNMENT! Or of Democrats!

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Either the US has a constitution, or it does not. The Maduro regime posed no threat to the people of the United States. The Trump regime is illegally going to war without authorization. It’s a distraction from his corruption and his pedophilia scandal.

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal
Two screenshots designed in the style of Spotify Wrapped but they're presented as being a (nonexistent) Bluesky Wrapped

Screenshot 1:
You spent 738 posts on the following topics:
1. Dunking on the New York Times op-ed section
2. Talking about drama at New York Magazine
3. Weighing in on the New York City mayoral election

Screenshot 2:
Based on this, your most likely place to be located would be:
New York, NY

Instead, swipe to see where, based on geotagging, you actually live

The framing of these stories shouldn't be "hey mass public, here is advice for how you too can bootstrap your way to early retirement ", but more accurately and productively as "hey rich person ruining society- observe how this other rich person is minding their own business, and happy!"

The underlying assumption is "our base will never desert us no matter how many positions we abandon to shift right", which is both condescending and i belive contradicted by at least some recent elections.
