I've really enjoyed all the people noting what is better now! Just want to make clear that "everything has gotten worse in the last 40 years" is explicitly and literally what the initialism MAGA stands for.

Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 18h ago

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I'm going to build human factories powered by robot shaped moons.

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

Every good cyclist on the road knows that the most dangerous thing you’re going to routinely encounter is a car trying to turn left. The crazy thing is that it’s worse on a one way street with a protected bike lane. They just don’t look!

Cold urbanist take: ban right turns on red lights Hot urbanist take: ban left turns on unprotected greens

Stopping before making a right turn on red specifically, a lot of people have just stopped doing. And they're slowing me down (and presumably everyone) because _I_ have to slow a bit going through a green because I have to check in a lady in a Suburban is gonna come flying around that corner.

Basic rules of society that we need to re-establish post Covid: - You actually have to stop for red lights and stop signs. - If you want to watch videos or listen to music in a shared public space, you need to use headphones. - Your pet does not need to go everywhere with you. - Don’t litter.

No, this is wrong and bad, you shouldn't call to ban things that you, personally, just don't like. "The risk of being corralled is just too high"? Do you hear yourself? Are you a Republican from the 80s worried that gay culture is gonna force you to give somebody a blowjob?

happy to continue my journey down Unpopular On Bluesky Avenue and say that, though I do love playing video games by myself, which I believe is a different proposition altogether, I basically agree with all of this www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I assume you missed the part where I’d have to run an extension cord from my 2nd floor apartment to a parking lot

NIMBYism is impossible to satirize because their thought process is always more insane than yours wdym garbage bins will ruin the character of your neighborhood by replacing cars???

Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈@maxdubler.com · 4d ago

I avoid the term “gentrification” when talking about housing affordability because it mostly describes *how people feel* about neighborhood change, not the change itself. For example, this author talks about how containerized trash pickup will “gentrify” NYC’s streets by replacing parked cars:

I get that Bugs is some kinda chimera here, and that's weird. But can we focus on the fact that he apparently has two paintings, one of politicians getting good healthcare, and one of Hitler's bunker?

@rain-singer.bsky.social · 6d ago

Every time I see a prompt like this I am reminded that I watch way fewer movies than most people, or at least most people on niche short form written word social media platforms. I think I've seen Home Alone more than 6 times? That and A New Hope might be the only ones.

John Leavitt@leavittalone.bsky.social · 7d ago

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

i usually just mutter "if only there were some way you could have told me you were turning" under my breath. they can't hear me, but it's so drying devastating that i'm sure they feel it on the back of their neck

Joe Blevins@joeblevins.bsky.social · 7d ago

Speaking of which: I have long thought that there should be a "We Are the World"-style charity record encouraging people to use turn signals.

How did someone manage to send a skeet from 2015? Bluesky didn't even exist in 2015!

Even Trump isn't on the hardline side here. He's praised the undocumented workers at his own hotels and says his friends in hospitality, restaurants, and farming call these people good.

Gilad Edelman@giladedelman.bsky.social · 2w ago

“I fucking hate him; I think he’s a scumbag, and you can quote me on that,” one progressive said about Richard Hanania. And yet, “I think, bizarrely enough, that he and I probably share the same broad overall analysis of the American right.” Read my piece here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Guys, I would absolutely ruin your Spotify algorithm. Think you're switching to Tidal or something? Nope, I have Elon's money, I bought that too. You're gonna hear "Pigs That Ran Straightaway Into The Water, Triumph Of" by The Mountain Goats on your "90s Pop Divas" channel.

I bet you can't guess what the "demanding art" this person is referring to here is.

Robert Black@hurricanexyz.bsky.social · 2w ago

Yes, in general demanding art finds a smaller audience

So much support to comrade NYT illustrator who draws the faces of these stupid dorkuses, really finding that line of showing their absolutely brainless expressions without quite being so insulting as to get fired.

brent sewer socialist🚰🌹@therealbrent.bsky.social · 3w ago

The good news? Basically none of these young 2024 Trump voters are big fans of his presidency. The key honestly is to demoralize them further and get them to not vote because these are not people Democrats are ever going to consistently reach.

Guys, we love it when accounts that started off as a specific joke post seriously, don't we?

every time trump is president you gotta wash your groceries

Since we are having the debate about rural again, I want to assert once again that Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho are all Dakotas (along with the basic two). And the more we all refer to them as such, the less work we will have to do to make conservatives shut up when we merge them.

I think this argument would be more effective if we had not yet invented the concept of electric lighting.

How would you describe the energy of a guy from NY who quotes this saying "we have twice as many championships (during my lifetime, which very conveniently starts in the mid 80s)" and then, when I point out that is with twice as many teams, two of which play in New Jersey, blocks?

People are mad at Nick about this, so just know that I talked him into cutting Fleetwood Mac from his original list.

Guys, I've been assuming he was lying, but what if Jennings just got got? Maybe he talked to a guy doing a Mitch McConnell impression, or an AI voice thing, or it was text messages? We should keep considering that a lot of these guys are very very dumb.

Helen Kennedy@helenkennedy.com · 3w ago

Wow. CNN won't vouch for Jennings claiming he spoke to McConnell for 20 minutes. "As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network..His account of a personal conversation with Sen McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."
