Screen shot of Bluesky interests page listing several topics (mostly involving war, but one about a woman who's a politician) as "Politics", and International Women's Day as "Entertainment".

I was looking for something to post for #InternationalWomen'sDay, and boom there it is. On Bluesky this topic is classified as "Entertainment".

Anyway, have a good one, sisters. I appreciate you. #IWD2026

AXWORTHY: "If you want to talk about an evil man, [Trump's] an evil man. There's no question about it. And he is doing everything in his power to totally create this disruption that the Prime Minister has talked about in the world."

You can't have war in Ecuador. You already have wars in Venezuela and Iran. Put some wars back.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

I'm not saying #DrShah and #AdamLambert are the same person, but I've never seen them in the same room at the same time. Have you?

Is anyone else sick of websites and apps that don't work? I am tired of contacting support because of faulty login processes, webpages that don't load/lack info. I've also NEVER met a chatbot that provided any useful information. I try several devices and modes before bothering support. I am fed up!

Anthropic has publicly stated that it will not support the use of its AI for domestic surveillance or for lethal actions without human oversight. The contrast is hard to ignore. Many people are deleting the ChatGPT app. For those looking for an alternative, downloading Claude by Anthropic.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

β€œAntifa” is a sentiment and an organizing principle. There is no membership. He’d have better luck trying to find people who joined Paw Patrol.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here β€” where he should have been safe.

The cruelty is endless.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

I never use in-room machines for coffee. A hotel manager told me rowdy sports teams regularly pee in the water reservoir.

If a maga influencer accidentally picks this up, I know a nurse who will preach it as gospel. I watched her do it with another satire piece, even after several people pointed her to the original source and stories about how people were believing it. Satire can be dangerous in a world of algorithms.

Most Canadians I know didn't go see Marty Supreme because we cannot stand the sight or sound of O'Leary.
