To anybody who went over to Bluesky after I encouraged them to do so - I am so very sorry. I had no idea that the staff there was like that.

To those who've been warning against going there, you were right and I was wrong. Totally wrong.

@daves2481 @thatfatbobcat @IanJaeger29 "Exactly how would you propose taking back the land from the aggressor?"

Reality check: The mighty Russian army has failed to overwhelm the Ukrainian army for a few years, now. If NATO put boots on the ground, it could obviously crush the Russian army.
@daves2481 @thatfatbobcat @IanJaeger29 Nobody sane person seriously maintains that the Ukrainian army, even with the outside funding and supplies, comes close to being as powerful as the US army. Or as powerful as would be the army of a fully re-armed Germany, which at this point is looking like a very good idea.
@daves2481 @thatfatbobcat @IanJaeger29 "Should America nuke Moscow? That’s sounds like a plan."

Nice straw man.

"Russia is a superpower"

They demonstrably are not, not in conventional terms. A real superpower could not be fought to anything resembling a draw by a barely developed country a fraction of its size.

@Flickr Hi. I was going to get an account on your site, but then I found out that this would have been a bad idea.

archive.is/xzAHV

short-stories.deadjournal.com/738.html

Live and learn, right? Having just read the post, I'll give you all a condensed version of the story.
@Flickr Writer gets Flickr account. He's going to do mixed media work, combining contemporary urban realist fiction with digital art. He writes a bio in which talks about his creative choices and the thinking behind them.
@Flickr He uploads a plain black rectangle, because he wants to get rid of the banner over his photostream. At this point, that's all that is on his account - a lengthy artist's manifesto and that first, simple upload.

Without warning, Flickr instantly deletes his account.

@flickrfdn Flickr and Free Speech - two things that I wouldn't expect to hear mentioned in the same breath. Probably because I just read this post

archive.is/xzAHV

short-stories.deadjournal.com/738.html

from one of Flickr's most recent victims. They've really gone insane.
@flickrfdn It's a long, angry piece and I can see why the guy is angry. For anybody who wants a shorter version, I posted one somewhere else.

@ztisdale Even less this. Image
@ztisdale This, on the other hand, looks fairly inviting.



What good is an empire or a superpower, if hardly anybody or anything is left standing in it, when the smoke clears? commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prag…Image
@ztisdale When the time comes, the American people will have the good sense to do as the Czechs and the Slovaks did, and just let go. We won't be living in the largest or most powerful country on Earth, but so what?

@threadreaderapp Hi. What is this?

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1888434…

This is what I got in response to this unroll request

x.com/sighing_sadly/…

Your bot missed all but the first tweet. It even missed the tweet that I linked to in the unroll request.

A swing and a near-total miss on your part.
@threadreaderapp This was completely useless. Are you going to fix this?

Or are you just going to play make-believe, pretend that you're offering a real service, and decide that's good enough? I ask this, because I've seen people do that, before.
@threadreaderapp If Thread Reader App has reached the "who cares if it still works as long as we still can find investors to scam" stage of "enshittification," then this is something that we all need to know about.

@elliott_downing Speaking of men with all of the money ...

Below is something that I just posted in reply to one of Eliott's bleats, brought over here through the magic of cut and paste.

I'm done recommending Bluesky, probably permanently.

@elliott_downing Hi, Elliott. Looks like I might have to leave this site. This screencap of an email I was sent by Bluesky should explain why. Image
