politics

that is your reddit update

I saw someone point out in a bluesky post in a different discord that nintendo stopped putting the twitter logo at the bottom of their marketing emails

It did not mention that they had stopped doing that a couple weeks ago

and before that they were still using the bird

art blue sky is so fucking dead it's not even funny

But spooky, all the real artists ran there because AI bad

how can it be dead

it's fine for pretentious people to talk to a subset of their audience, and is better than Discord for that imo

but there's no external reach

Blue sky literally just seems like pre elon blue checkmark twitter

which was not worth reading

it feels more like Discord ngl

Speaking of elon

How the fuck could he do this to grimes

she defended him

oh the horror

that's so cringe

I liked the week of people making fun of him for not knowing hotkeys

I think a lot of online creatives fell for the Discord meme, and spend more time just talking/grooming there than is productive for them and some of them are replacing that with bluesky now, where you're never going to have a lot of people following you, and you can just hold a conversation via replies

they still have to publish to their main sites obv

blue sky replaces their fan interaction, but keeps that tightly curated group of ass suckers at a bit more length than Discord did

I wonder if these twitter bans on reddit will also include screenshots

(They won't)

The people who farm karma, 90% of it is posting screenshots of twitter

and all the people who notice how hypocritical that is have probably already left the site

none of the non-shit reddits are doing it, it's just the ones that have the same cabal of powermods

oh i didnt see trump actually pardoned 🏴‍☠️

kinda based

i know he said he would

but its pretty based

pirate flag?

his username

dread pirate

roberts

I didn't realize it had already been 10 years

time flies

i mean

oh yea silk road guy

it has been painfully obvious that the life sentance

thats literally it

it was a pretty unfair like, fuck you sentance

yep, there are a few others with similar fuck you sentences

usually anything natsec related

but it's impressive he manged to stay as relevent as he has, from prison

versus someone like Snowden, who kind of just fucked off

because despite everything he kinda started an era

it's funny to say, but I think I understand why presidents normally don't do anything their entire term

Trump is doing SUCH a good job week 1, I think it's giving people almost unreasonable expectations with how much winning there's going to be

its always the second term where presidents go more all out though

because they dont have re-election fears

and the republican party pissed trump the fuck off

i dont think its all just term shit for him though

he got betrayed by literally everyone

i think the first time he just had little idea what he was actually doing

unironically fucking him over 2020 gave him time to construct an actual plan

they made him far more powerful

he made a lot of promises on his way to this presidency and desired to keep them, that is part of it but a massive part is also just not giving a fuck

backlash doesnt exist anymore

Well, I don't think he ever gave a fuck

Trump also has made a fuckton of money this time

His entire 2016 run was just him not giving a fuck

wdym he said make america great again

I think term 1 he kind of restrained himself with the self-enrichment

first term he couldnt be as hog wild about it though

^^

he was a lot more restrained

beacuse he wanted re-election

he's legitimately doubled his net worth via running this time

i feel like if he won in 2020 he would be doing this but maybe a touch down

a LOT of presidents do this

second term is where you get 10x more things done because you have zero fears

I mean, yeah

so

I'm just saying I don't think that was ever the entire limiting factor for him

see Max, I think term 1, he wanted to be "accepted" more than being worried about re-election

thats fair

odds he steps down 2 years in to hand it to vance

0

after everything that's happened though, there's zero of that now
