Trump ended Obama's deal during his first term which led to Iran enriching Uranium. That was the first mistake followed by this pointless war that has put the Iranians in a much stronger position and continues to disrupt the global economy.

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.

Jonah Goldberg: This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.

You don't get through a single day without trusting experts somewhere. The only question is which ones you've decided to make political.

No Kings has still been significant and the answer certainly isn't to be discouraged and stop protesting though. The Albanians are actually the exceptional case here, maybe in part because of how much the Trump family is hated internationally.

When the entire population of that country is just a couple of million and they manage to protests day after day in the hundreds of thousands the takeaway is that Americans are protesting much less about much more grave violations of their democracy. There's just no way around that.

well, to me it seems a little pointless since I doubt it will make much sense to limit yourself to the tiny fraction of users that are on W instead of Bluesky.

are you referring to some feed that only shows wsocial users? you certainly don't know that you're speaking to actual humans if looking at any posts from bluesky users.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Being a member of the UN does not automatically bind you to every treaty. This being considered customary international law could bind a state even if they have not ratified a treaty but then again it's ridiculous for especially this current US admin to try to appeal to any such thing unfortunately.

More lawless killing in the Trump administration’s boat bombing campaign. Real killing in a phony armed conflict with “narco-terrorists.” This strike reportedly left 6 survivors. US record for rescuing survivors alive is…not great.

On June 21, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action, and there were six male survivors. Following the engagement, USSOUTHCOM immediately notified U.S. Coast Guard to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivors. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

Eventually they complied though. Bluesky was always intended as proprietary-friendly (they've even sponsored open core conferences etc.) so there is no such remedy here.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

They provide the one that is default for everyone. I think you'll find the use numbers for the rest are completely insignificant in comparison and that the default very much shapes how the platform operates in reality.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

didn't see that mentioned in the ZDF piece. I think the whole thing was tied to the disinfo on X that the EU was putting that kind of money in W. The investment they mentioned going direct to W in the Brussels press conference was 5 million. Not much compared to Bluesky's $100M venture capital.

That's true but from the US side it probably would have made sense to involve Israel in the talks. There were reports they didn't even get access to the text before anyone else.

Tavan kansalainen vois pohtia sitäkin että voisiko poliitikon työtehtäväksi laskea tavat saada omaa viestiään esille ja siten puolueen kannatusta jo suhteellisen lähellä häämöttäviin vaaleihin korkeammalle, tai sitä että näitä osallistumisia on ollut vaikka kenellä. Voi tietty olla liikaa vaadittu.

the reality of a network where power is centralized to an extreme degree to a single unbeliveably well-funded player that has almost all the users, the money, the developers working on the core components does not bode well for anyone other than them controlling the data.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

the actual least problematic one would be the German Mastodon as it is truly decentralized and does not depend on a 100 million dollar Venture Capital funded corporation from the USA like W/Eurosky do on Bluesky.

They do share the last part in common with both Bluesky and Eurosky, none of them are really likely to give straight answers to the difficult ones.

it's not so "truly European" either and both have the huge flaw of being completely dependent on a $100 million American VC startup's code and userbase.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Bluesky isn't fully open either (they keep the algo closed) and it is because of Bluesky's decision to not use a license that protects the rights of the users that W is able to go closed source. So W is indeed comparatively worse but BS isn't really completely clean when it comes to this either.

Jos itse kokisin tuon ongelmaksi niin en näkisi syytä lähteä Iltalehden poliittisesti motivoituneeseen kampanjaan yhtä puoluetta ja sen puheenjohtajaa vastaan kun tämä on selkeästi jo vakiintunut tapa ja jopa tämän hallituksen nykyinen ministeri on käynyt täsmälleen samassa ohjelmassa.

That's quite a load of disinformation packed into a short post. There is no way to arrive at "hundreds of thousands of saved nazis" with anything based on reality. There certainly was no US-supported deportation program for Holocaust survivors. The US did help bring the fascist regimes down.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

And he'd also be easily able to do a similar thing with a platform so dependent on Bluesky, effectively making a judge's posts disappear from the timelines of 99% of the users here if he wanted to just by forcing Bluesky to mess with their closed source discover algo.

k kowboy @kkowboy.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

"built in" is not really the way to describe what are essentially forks running the Bluesky code written by Americans and still dependent on Bluesky's future code updates since they don't really maintain it all themselves...
