That sniveling little Mississippi loser Johnson is such a Trump toady that he will do anything that despot wants even as they are destroying everything that keeps Americans safe, healthy, and educated. But sure, he has “control” of something.

I do appreciate Bluesky. But it's still nowhere near as fun as Twitter before Musk took it over.

Will a virtual public square for all sides of the spectrum make a resurgence? Or are we so bullheaded that we choose to relegate ourselves to one-sided echochambers going forward?
