“Chinese state media is reportedly troubled by the latest exodus of X users flocking to Bluesky. State outlets, which put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on Elon Musk’s social media platform — including by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers — have recently seen their growth plateau.

The growing popularity of Bluesky, which has a largely liberal base and harder-to-manipulate algorithm, has sparked “worried chatter within Chinese state media circles,” a former Xinhua and China Daily employee wrote in his newsletter. He predicted the accounts will migrate to Bluesky, though it may take time. For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.”

Thinking about this more, the Democrat strategy to reach people who hate both parties was to say that both parties are good.

they fucked it up so bad, they lied that the Democrats were doing good things and held hands with evil ineffective republicans nobody liked. At least the GOP hates one of the shitty political parties.

 

Everything makes more sense once you realize that Democrats are just Republicans designed to present the illusion of choice.

 

I have a friend that is a USPS rural carrier, and they're in a different union then the one being talked about here, but she was telling me they're both getting screwed right now

 

Wait you telling me the cop ran a campaign that would only benefit the cop and their friends and not the people they’re sworn to help?

 

yep…this shit is exactly why I’m spending more time on bluesky. Just can’t block those fucks fast enough anymore

 

god damn is that a loaded term

fucking terrifying

 

I read this in The Mask’s voice

 

If this happens, in 2026 run an independent for senate in Iowa and South Dakota that just bases their entire campaign on bashing the Trump tariff gas increases

 

What does rules based order mean

 

The obsession by the Dem consultant class on trying to drill down on why they lost is fucking stupid on so many levels but the biggest one is even if you somehow magically find out the "right" answer it will more than likely have no fucking impact on your next Presidential election. The country and the situation in that next election is going to be in a completely different place than it was in 2024. Worry about how to win in 2028 rather than fighting this exhausting battle to find the Fountain of Youth that is why you lost in 2024 has become.

This is a big reason why they lost in 2024 is that they had no idea where the electorate was and instead tried to re-run their 2020 strategy over again.

 

GWB notoriously disregarded the five second rule, once even eating a tomato sauce slathered ravioli that had been on the floor for four whole hours

 

a current member of the house of lords in the UK was revealed as an informant to the US 15 years ago and is still there lol

One moment, please...

 

The tweet says “show more” but I do not want to “see more”

 

it means that the US can act unilaterally and do whatever the hell it wants because we have the strongest military and the most money and everyone else has to fall in line and do what we say
