He was brilliant, had no significant conflicts of interests, and was loyal to his allies and his own country. He would have at least acted in good faith. You can say none of that about Donald. 030
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 15/08/2025The BLS reporting an unflattering number? Yes, it's downright bewildering. I can't imagine how bad the real inflation figure is. 000

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 14/08/2025The article mentions larger vehicles and distracted driving, but not what feels like a concerted, organized, right wing effort to demonize pedestrians and cyclists. There's a deep level of vitriol out there that needs examination: Both active, violent aggression on the roads and hate speech online. 000
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 14/08/2025I, for one, am perfectly comfortable with selling off US states. Russia can buy Texas, for pennies. I'm all for it. 010

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 09/08/2025The one common theme among every GOP "issue" from the last twenty years is that no elected Dem ever mentioned it until the right-wing media had already elevated it. They can fabricate an entire movement from a solitary anonymous tweet. Or from nothing at all. 130

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 31/07/2025The key issue with your argument James, is you think it would take a week to create a nationwide camera system and database for facial recognition. If such a thing existed in the US, Trump would surely have abused it immediately. But it's not in place, and it's an effort that would take years. 000

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/07/2025For the record, I don't think the cancellation was about profits. You can lose on a tentpole, you can make adjustments. But poor online performance is a huge piece of the post-hoc justification. In terms of bottom line and overall reach. 110
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Exactly, it's about strategy, not quantity (or even quality). It's called "click bait" because it works. Obviously subscribers and broadcast ratings don't mean much, when Seth Meyers show is more profitable. The $ difference betweenn 500k and 5mm daily YT viewers is in the millions. 000
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/07/2025They may think they don't need to. Kamala's team probably thought the same thing about online presence. But its 2025, and you need YT, etc to reach the younger demos. It's not just marketing, it's another channel for the show. By contrast, Seth Meyers YT views are consistently 20x his TV rating. 110
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/07/2025I'm surprised they didn't split his monologue into 3 separate clips, such is the incompetence of his YouTube team. Broadcast is dying and his online presence has been bafflingly terrible. 100
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/07/2025I am sure the other late night shows make a significant portion of their revenue on YouTube. For every person watching broadcast TV there are dozens watching the clips online the next day. 000

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 20/07/2025They also cut funding for CDC and NIH, preventing study of dengue, west nile etc. And they're cutting all research into climate change, just as the warming climate is causing huge growth in US mosquito populations. The GOP is completely pro-mosquito, and they want you to die of Zika. 020

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 13/07/2025His base are blaming Pam Bondi for not releasing the Epstein files. It hasn't occurred to them that she works for Trump and he is implicated. You can sneak practically anything by these people. 050
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 11/07/2025And they are. But as a white person, how often should I disavow the KKK? How often should Mamdani condemn Al Qaeda? How frequently and loudly should stand-up comedians publicly decry Bill Cosby as the anti-Christ? What about sitcom actors? Once a week? 110
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 11/07/2025You are. Plenty of progressive Christians exist, and they're doing their own thing. You only notice the shitty ones. "Christianity" is about as cohesive and uniform as America itself. 110
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 11/07/2025That's a bit like blaming bluesky users letting for the Nazis on X define social media. 110
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 11/07/2025There are plenty of Christians I trust a great deal. The ones who see Christianity as a responsibility to serve and sacrifice. Not the ones who wield the Bible as a cudgel. 130
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Even in the deepest red states you'll find that at least 30% of them are Americans. They need our help more than anyone. 120

sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Everyone who cites a different definition. Perhaps it's the wrong word to use when everyone over 35 has the entirely opposite understanding of yours. 170
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Learning history and context is important. Generations of people used "liberal" to describe the left end of the political spectrum. If you're cursing people who agree with you because you have different understandings of a word, you're not communicating effectively. 200
sanslabyrinth.bsky.social @sanslabyrinth.bsky.social · 26/06/2025It's a very vocal, angry group of perpetually online leftist nerds. Many people over 30 still use "liberal" as a synonym for left-wing, and they span a wide spectrum. I know a 90 year old socialist who still proudly identified as "liberal." But according to bluesky leftists, she's the problem 070
