Politely (or impolitely) calling my senators and representatives & supposedly anti-fascist president to tell them, repeatedly, to stop backing a corrupt autocrat while he murders hundreds of children every week & conducts a genocide out in the open, & stop giving him tens of billions of $ in weapons to keep at it, makes me fucking miserable and depressed, how about you. https://progressives.social/@pvonhellermannn@mastodon.green/111554226704377285 It is extremely odd that tech journalists do not seem to have any idea of who exactly owns #bluesky Even odder that they don’t care to find out and inform their readers. This is such basic information that you & your readers need to know. Instead, the bulk of the pieces on Bluesky is vibes and predictive horse race hype that does not go beyond the surface at all. Post has far too many red flags for me. Plus its explicit goal of capturing journalists' conversations in one silo creates dumb vulnerability for any democracy. 1) Post's major investor also invested in Musk's Twitter takeover. Just, no. Bardin's recent self-serving remarks about better content moderation are belied by his own earlier snide comments deriding "pronouns" & "PC" speech. I don't trust him as an individual. Taking major funding from one of the major funders of Musk's Twitter takeover, just because they're the first people to write a check is...my god, such a failure on every level. It demonstrates just a breathtaking lack of serious thinking about their endeavor. It's surprises me journalists would bite on that. |

They don't care. How many millions have you contributed/bundled? How many news networks do you control? I bet you aren't even a member at his country club.
@chargrille
Yup, literally miserable and depressed over here. 😕

You seem to imagine that Biden has total control over Israel.
