OK, my initial thoughts on the @bsky.app #iPad #beta: I love (1) the app can fill the screen; and (2) actual left-side menus. On the other hand, (3) right-side items don't show up anywhere; (4) the text also seems tiny, even adjusted; and (5) there's a lot of empty space. But it is a good start!

Also new in today’s v1.136 update: iPad support! One of our most-requested features is finally here in beta. Try out the Bluesky app on your iPad, and if you see anything off, let us know under Settings > Beta features.

Give me four versions of you.

Give me four versions of you.

Does anyone know how to set up a Bluesky #labeler? Extra points if it can be done free or really really cheap. I have an idea for one, but from what I've read, I can't believe how complicated and potentially expensive it is! Any thoughts appreciated so much!

My reaction to absolutely everything right now

I have just discovered that I am on five blocklists: * "AI Haters" - oversimplistic, but largely correct * "Doomers" - true once or twice while MH was bad * "Party Poopers" - whose party exactly? * "MySpecialFriends" - ??? * "People who have blocked me" (in Japanese) - OK Is this an achievement?

Officially proposing that a period of 5 days in Trump's regime be referred to as a Zacharia, Char for short. For reference, 1 Scaramucci = 2.2 Zacharias 1 Char ~= 0.45 Mooches

you can't be serious. This reads Meta/Facebook/Insta is looking to grant itself the rights to scrape websites across the open web - and train Meta's AI - if a company after Oct 30, 2026 uses Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or other Meta services. So every biz. Read that again. Outrageous. 1/5

Now's not the time for us to let up! @cdelawalla.bsky.social of @standupforscience.net has put together another great rally for those of us unable for whatever reason to physically be present at a No Kings event. And please, check out the standupforscience.net web site and get involved!

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE

Science activists and allies mobilizing to save science, health and democracy itself from the Trump administration's dismantlement and privatization.

Michael Lewis’s new book Blockers was just listed at #2 on the NYT Best Seller list!!!! Come here from him on Saturday at the official virtual snd accessible @standupforscience.net No Kings Rally! Register here: events.standupforscience.net/stand-up-for...

LA friends, this may sound like a silly question, but I am serious: Why do you have a team named "Dodgers"? What exactly are they dodging? The baseball? Sportsball team names rarely make sense to me, but usually they're supposed to be inspiring in some way, aren't they? This one just seems weird.

I posted something earlier that may be the most mean-spirited thing I’ve ever skeeted. It is against my usual nature, and I am a little embarrassed about it. But you know what else is against my nature? This whole fucking time we live in. However, I need to not let it win. 😢 #YeetingTheSkeet

People keep asking how bad of a thing you would have to do to get canned by this regime. There is no depth of corruption that could do it. No act so despicable as to force their hand. There is exactly one thing: get caught. That makes The Mad King look bad, and that isn’t allowed.

There’s no way she lasts even a single Mooch unless she gets better than that horrific excuse for an introduction. Maybe not even half a Mooch.

I don’t usually watch comedy so early in the day

If news outlets charge for a story, that is their right. If I don't want to or can't pay, I simply don't. And "gift articles" where you have to register to read them - if I don't want to, I just move on. But I REALLY wish I remembered that so I wouldn't click on them every stupid time. 🤦‍♀️ Sigh.

TWO DAYS TO GO. I have to start this goal over after Amazon took my money. I am trying to avoid having my car repossessed again. I am currently living in my car. Anything helps, even reposting! Car loan- $200 by 10/13 PP, Venmo, CA- ladyasterianox

So apparently this regime is determined to join North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, and other countries that perform public executions for the sheer spectacle and entertainment of it. There are bridges you don’t come back from when you cross them as a culture.

Justice Alito devotes an entire chapter of his new book to the emergency docket—and to responding to people like me (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”). As I explain over at “One First,” it … didn’t go well: www.stevevladeck.com/p/256-so-une...

Your regular reminder, straight from BLS official data, that #Democratic presidents see much higher #jobs growth than #Republican presidents. And specifically that #JoeBiden saw the best, and #TheMadKing's numbers in his separated terms are 2 of the 4 worst.

unchecked capitalism is antithetical to art and these money pigs ruin everything and i hope their money keeps them company in hell

Donald Trump, #TheMadKing, has just indicated that he will not defend the United States of America against attack. Specifically, #nuclear attack. For anybody who still doesn’t think he’s done anything to merit #impeachment: how much more of an abdication of his basic responsibilities do you need?

Madeline makes this point far better than I could ever manage, but I want to point out that I completely agree on every point of this. Even when people make it hard sometimes. I wish it was a viewpoint that more held.

one thing about me that consistently seems to shock people is that I do actually believe that all people have the right to live in freedom, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, disability, or age. like I do actually believe that and I apply it to *everyone*

Sometime, you have to do the right thing even when it hurts, even when it turns people against you. Ari is a real leader in every sense. ODP "Pride", when you turn on an increasingly shunned and vulnerable part of your constituency, how dare you expect blind loyalty from them. Lives are at stake.

Arienne Childrey@ari4ohio.bsky.social · 3w ago

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

My genuine best advice for anyone who wants a window into a specific school’s sexual violence response is to ask if they have an ATIXA membership. ATIXA is a consulting group that sells a lot of schools their sexual violence materials.

I can define “Super Intelligence” for you as something that those who call it that do not have.

I have to point this out: Jews ≠ Israelis ≠ Netanyahu regime Arabs ≠ Muslims ≠ Palestinians ≠ Hamas (In case of font problems, ≠ is "not equal".) The ones causing the problems are the Netanyahu regime and Hamas. Please direct your anger at them and leave the people to live their lives.
