I don’t know, this seems like something to be taken with a grain of salt. Throughout, the post is dripping with personal contempt for the people he’s talking about. It just seems like he’s taking his personal experience with the “blueskyists” pre Bluesky and turning it into something important enough to coin this term “Blueskyism”, without ever making the case that that’s true.

It’s less, “this is an important thing to consider in contemporary, online political discourse”, and more, “I have personal experience with these sorts of people, and let me tell you, they annoy the living piss out of me.” And I have no trouble believing him.

Did you even read the piece?

The author seems to underestimate this Supreme Court’s willingness to make nakedly partisan rulings.

Edit: oh here we go. Partisan first amendment issues were perfectly fine to discuss here when it was about Twitter. But, different ox being gored now, so we’re going to flag this into oblivion. Absolute frauds.

And now we see them getting main stream networks on a leash.

Edit: Not to mention universities. It’s crazy how quickly civil institutions are being consolidated by the right. They have gone all in and there appears to be insufficient appetite to stop them.

I’m having a hard time imagining where this is useful. If I’m trying to assign to a property, but encounter an intermediate null value in the access chain, just skipping the assignment is almost never going to be what I want to do. I’m going to want to initialize that null value.

Ok, hear me out. How powerful of a battery would we need to turn the blades and nacelle into a helicopter?

And just think. Once it arrives on site, you have a big ass grid storage battery to install!

Is there one for 2026? I’m guessing if there is you’ll see one trending down while the other is trending up, for obvious reasons.

> Hopefully nothing that advances a dystopian fascist agenda, right? Right?

Hey! You can’t say that! That’s wrong speak!

So what is it that you’re saying is keeping younger people from getting out? Just the knowledge that there may be people out in the world with them who are creepily obsessing over their birth rate?

And to add, the lawsuit didn’t lose on its merits, but on lack of jurisdiction.

Get better citizens.

This has to be satire.

There’s a lot I agree with here, but the section pertaining to Ukraine might as well have been written by Vladimir Putin.

While it’s true that setting a new record isn’t unusual, in the case of 2020, the turnout was actually very high even taking into account population growth.

I was referring to the 2020 election.
