Bard spotting on Bluesky 15 July 2024

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

I don't think people are understanding that the Republican vp is openly associated with and working with teenage fascists and a cohort of neo reactionaries and monarchists who's explicit goal is to "sharpen capitalism to its fascist point" as one of the vps major influences wrote.

Andrew Sparling (@awsparling.bsky.social):

Monarchists??

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

Yes. It is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian,reactionary philosophical and political movement that opposes all progressive and liberal democracy precious and believes ultimately in a neo reactionary monarchy of the wealthy etc.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

In Vance's case, a Catholic theocractic monarch

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

And a techno fascist aligned new right acolyte.

Anyone on "let's be business partners" with Jack "PizzaGate/QAnon/What if instead of vaccines we had [describes vaccines]" Posobiec should be farthest possible from the levers of power

Karl (sad trombone noise enthusiast) (@brainnotonyet.bsky.social):

Yes.

The thing I resent most deeply about modern billionaires is that the thought of humanity exploring space used to feel exciting and now it fills me with dread.

It shouldn't have been the worst of us who first get to greet the stars in the sky.

@machete.gay Apollo blesses you so richly

Mr. Am I Being Detained (@gonebabygone.bsky.social):

Oh holy shit Vance is an adult Catholic convert, it's worse than I thought

i am always up pondering my orb

juniper 🏳️⚧️ (@blahaj.rodeo):

getting a sudden wave of "we miss you deadname, why haven't you ordered in a few years?" emails from various menswear brands

Erin Banneret (@banneret.bsky.social):

On a tangent, some of these brands are just so aggressive and needy. Brooks Brothers, for instance, an email a day.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Brooks Brothers' strategy is that their emails are being read by personal assistants, and they need to be in the forefront of the PA's mind when the customer says "I need three suits"

putting my orchi'ed balls into a rock tumbler and checking back every day, watching them slowly become smoothed away into nothing, whispering at them, "if i could make a world inside this chamber with no entropy i would torture you forever like this"

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Pretty sure this is the plot of a Dr Who season

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

If Trump/Vance win the 2024 elections, I (and a lot of other Americans) will be political refugees in Canada, Europe, Asia, etc — very, very quickly.

Or we will be prisoners, or dead.

Suboptimal Prime (@suboptimalprime.bsky.social):

Trump learned his mistake from selecting Pence who, while his own special flavor of evil, still respected some of the norms of the office he held. Vance will not hesitate for a moment to do Trump's bidding and placing him a heartbeat away from the presidency should give everyone shudders.

Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

the unrestrained horniness is the largest selling point of bluesky but the more people who come in the more restrained it gets (hnnnnnnng restraints) and the less people feel comfortable with being truly horny because of the prudes. but we need to get more horny to show the prudes that we own bsky

✨trash✨ (@dollarpbr.gay):

oh shit it's tuesday lmao

my bad y'all, busy day at work. gimme your best (worst) 💕

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

(H nnnnnngghh)

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

My $0.02 is that I will never need to learn more about Vance than what I already know, because come November 6th either he will be a defeated candidate or I will be a refugee

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

"I'm trans femme, everything I do is an act of political resistance" I whisper to myself as I rummage through the fifth jewelry box in a row, intently searching for a bead bracelet I've worn exactly twice

Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

"i'm trans fem everything i do is a political act of resistence" i whisper as i sand my tastebuds off completely with a massive bag of sour patch kids

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Reddit has a feature where people aren't sent a "You were banned from subredditxyz" message unless they had participated in subredditxyz. If they see the message, they participated.

Every single week I field a "Why did you ban me? I never participated here" modmail, responding to their ban msg

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Half of them forgot they posted or commented. Half of them had deleted their post or comment to try to cover their tracks, to try to harass mods.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

This is just to say that

You only think you want an Edit button on microblogging services

Stephen C. Rea (@stevierea.bsky.social):

Heck has frozen over: just read the most measured, sensical take about the Trump shooting I've seen so far on any social media on… 4chan's /pol/ board 😳

Look, I hate it as much as you do!

zen hulk [💀 Online] (@devival.com):

you can't just say that and then not spill

Stephen C. Rea (@stevierea.bsky.social):

I mean, I don't want to post it here for obvious reasons. But it boiled down to "probably a mildly conservative gun guy, no strong opinions, suicidal weirdo." As more info comes out, that seems like the likeliest case to me 🤷‍♂️

Tbf, I've seen a few folks over here express similar sentiments

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

having explosive devices in his vehicle and a remote trigger, for me, shouts Klebold/Harris model ideation — "nihilist" masking intense repressed anger, couched in / channeled through a convenient violent ideology. I'm still out on whether it is definitely terrorism.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's not as if law enforcement would help him out by publishing any writings they find at this point

potz(er)🏳️⚧️🐉🦝 (@feral-bear.bsky.social):

my bsky badge notifications (iphone) won't go away and the number keeps going up with everyone that comes through even after i login to clear it

help?

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I would write down my password, check the 2FA works, log out, log in, log out, delete app, reinstall

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

So, uh, seems like there was a server outage that might have caused that 😄

potz(er)🏳️⚧️🐉🦝 (@feral-bear.bsky.social):

nope. still doing it. 🙃 i'll uninstall and what not

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

@pfrazee.com you'll never see this in the avalanche, but just so you know, critical support to you and your team . Good luck

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

@kiraculous.net 😭😘🥹

Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

smooches you

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

You are sweetness

Kiraculous Once and Future Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

hugs tight

eva (@eva.computer):

Scott Adams had many hypnokink posts on his now defunct original blog

like there was one were he did a series of induction posts and had the reader orgasm in the final one

they're in the internet archive somewhere but i don't feel like finding them again

nini to the s in my phone, y'all are fricking amazing and deserve nothing but the best. love y'all

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Sleep sweet bebeh

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

This is literally why we all now know what "Antifa" is — the Trump campaign needed a domestic "terrorist movement" boogeyman to react against, were faced with the reality that White Identity Extremist terrorism was carried out by their voting base, and manufactured "Antifa" into their threat.

Seth Cotlar (@sethcotlar.bsky.social):

Without a "they" that is out to get them, the entire MAGA world view crumbles into dust. If politics is just about electing imperfect people to craft imperfect solutions to problems we can only partially understand, then all of the drama is drained from politics and there's no reason to vote GOP.
