I think what’s potentially more alarming is the “let’s see how this plays out” part. What the hell could he mean by that?? Quote

Also he's wrong. Who was it who said on another thread that having rituals is a good thing? Honoring a President in this way is a good thing, and it can serve as a reminder that it is a privilege and an honor-but also a responsibility to hold the office. Quote

CMRivdogs Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Unfortunately I still find the Musk Cesspool a bit easier for posting "News" and Opinion stuff. The same content appears on the Butterfly, it's a pain to link to. Quote

Tiger337 Posted January 5 Posted January 5 BlueSky is cleaner and less creepy than Twitter, but it is not good for baseball news because people with accounts on both sites usually post on Twitter. Then again, Twitter has 20 garbage baseball posts for every relevant one. 1 Quote

Honestly do believe that if the Adam Schefters and Jeff Passans of the world moved over, Twitter would lose a ton of it's utility. People who are on these platforms for mostly political reasons underestimate how much casual sports and other non-political interest prop them up (or keep them from growing) 1 Quote

In many cases, sports fans are relying on social for actual news and having honest debates whereas political fans seem to be mostly trolling each other. Edited January 5 by Tiger337 Quote

Especially when there was breaking news. As a guy who grew up in broadcasting way back in the 70s, it was almost like having your own personal news wire machine. 1 Quote

CMRivdogs Posted January 5 Posted January 5 The grift that keeps on grifting Quote NEW: Proceeds from official inaugural merchandise usually fund inaugural events. But Trump’s merch sales? They’re heading to the RNC and his Never Surrender PAC—a fund he can tap into for personal expenses. me, for @forbes.com https://bsky.app/profile/zacheverson.com/post/3leypzs3tl22o Quote

My hope is that they all make the move completely to Bluesky at some point-I see MBTA alerts on Bluesky but not general posts as of now. Quote

romad1 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Is it true Carter did not want Trump at the funeral but the protocols required he be invited? I had heard that in passing from the wife but can't find any source. Quote
