Bard spotting on Bluesky 13 January 2025

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

My contribution is this:

When MAGAs use the word "liberal", they are not signifying the same entity or quality that Leftists signify when they use the word.

Not even close.

It's better when Words Mean Things

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It will never, ever happen that the people currently overspecifying "liberal" will choose to unpack that knapsack.

So as long as "liberal" exists, for people who understand these two facts above, it will signify "timewaste discourse tarpit; re-route to avoid".

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'd rather have a functioning republic, but if we can't have that, I'd rather a 7-foot tall praying mantis gnaw my intestines out every day than for the world to suffer four more years of the USA being piloted by Daddy Was A Grand Wizard

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

(The bargaining stage of grief)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I was traumatised by Hieronymous Bosch as a child, what can I say

Yeah

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"I'm not a man"

Granted. But you are a creepy, insecure entitled misogynist, so -

onto the barricades

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It never fails. The trollbucket inhabitants invariably dive into anthropogenic climate change denialism

The largest wildfire in Texas history just happened eleven months ago and destroyed thirty times more area than the one in Los Angeles

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The garbage Musk is amplifying to millions of people is on par with "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams"

Anna Rompage (@annarompage.bsky.social):

Texas had a wildfire that was over 1 million acres just last year

Enron Mush is such a toad

Kate-y Mckateface (@kate.frick.ing):

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

thinking about the noble stegosaurus

tree appreciator (@swolecialism.bsky.social):

A top five dinosaur, to me

vortex egg, MLIS (@vortexegg.com):

Favorite dinosaur

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

that's right

vortex egg, MLIS (@vortexegg.com):

I had a stegosaurus t-shirt from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History as a child and wore the shit out of it. Want an adult one

Michael Senters the Sigillite (Yang Wen-li stan) (@mikesenters.bsky.social):

Next time I'm there I'll keep an eye out for one for you.

vortex egg, MLIS (@vortexegg.com):

Oh, no, I meant that I want an adult stegosaurus

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

… how are we getting it into a t-shirt

vortex egg, MLIS (@vortexegg.com):

I probably need to get one of those bear defense suits to wear

Kiraculous the Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

Kiraculous the Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

me, 40 minutes ago: i'm very hungry but i will do nothing about it

me, 30 minutes ago: i'm very hungry but i will do nothing about it

me, now: why am i atill hungry?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I'll get out of bed and get some food if you will, too

Kiraculous the Cyborg🏳️⚧️ (@kiraculous.net):

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Out onna road today

Propagandhi stickrs onna Caddilac

A lil voice inside my head said

"Don't hit them

With your only auto"

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"Out on the road today, a Propagandhi sticker onna Cadillac" doesn't scan right

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

In case anyone is in any doubt, it was literally the explicit philosophical political position of the Nazi party, that independent women were the downfall of culture.

In case anyone is mystified by why Meta would exempt speech that reduces women to household appliances from its hate speech policies

I think you will like Jason Stanley...expert on fascism. I think he's a Yale professor.

Dr. Lisa (@xitter-refugee.bsky.social):

I've been checking for him on Bluesky every few weeks.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I live in D/FW. Which is in North Central Texas.

If I so choose, today I could travel south on East Northwest Highway to reach I-35 East, on which I could travel south to reach West, Texas, in North Central Texas.

Herbal Crone (@herbalcrone.bsky.social):

I thought you lived in Europe. Sincerely.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Aw - I wish!

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

While doing so I would pass through Hillsboro and Hill County, neither of which are in hill country

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I would also, briefly, traverse Italy.

olive consumer (@machete.gay):

I will say this is a very funny thing to cite because anyone actually from Texas and not some slob from central California cosplaying as a "real American" knows kolaches are incredibly Texan and, specifically, Texan kolaches are not not actually Czech kolaches and haven't been for over a century.

Ed Burmila (@edburmila.bsky.social):

Is there a word for when you take your conclusion and state it as a fact that serves as the premise of your argument

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Today could be a good day for a trip South to West, Texas

Punished Cat Guy (The Gorton's Fisherman is a Psyop) (@majima.club):

God I was just thinking the same thing. Like, all this soggy egg fart of an OpEd is accomplishing is making me want to brave 35 and hit the Czech Stop.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
