@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialMy thoughts exactly. People want cover for thinking DOGE had the right idea-- or they want to make it easier for others to come back to the fold.
@mcopelov.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialWe can talk about re-engineering government <after> we: - Restore all the NIH/NSF funds - Restore at the Dept. of Education Title VI/FLAS funds - Rebuild USAID - Hire back as many of the fired federal workers as possible & replace those we can't with new talent as fast as possible - Etc. - Etc.
@mcopelov.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialAgain, we don't need chapters about "what DOGE might have been if the people involved had had any decency at all." We need to send these people to jail forever for unprecedented crimes. We really need to <not> spend anytime on "right idea, wrong execution" right now (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).
@whythathat.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialI'm so tired of the trend of people making images of text, then failing to make them accessible by adding alt text. I've asked people so many times to use alt text, I finally made my own sign (which I post with alt text). I should have included gifs in this.

@boxelderdust.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social“Obama will use the ACA to put you in FEMA death camps because he’s a Nazi” is just politics as usual and “Mike Collins endorses concentration camps and has a bunch of Hitlerjugend sharing memes about gassing the Jews on his staff because he’s a Nazi” is unprecedentedly offensive without reason
@boxelderdust.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social“It’s just not what we do in this country” means “it’s not what you’re allowed to do if you’re a Democrat”, the mainline of the Republican Party has been calling every ordinary benign good-governance Democrat Hitler-Stalin-bin Laden-Hussein-Beelzebub 9000 since before I was fucking born
@boxelderdust.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialWe can’t say it even if it’s true because that would be mean to everyone who insisted things weren’t that bad yet

@tylerfromtheinternet.comReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialpeople keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

@slcpgh.bsky.socialReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialFunniest goddamn (and yet accurate!) alt text you’ll read all day.
@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialPeople block words and phrases related to things they don't want to see on Bluesky. Sometimes these are genuinely triggering things; sometimes it's just preference. Include a pic with no alt text, and you're forcing them to see blocked content.
@jessicacalarco.comReposted by @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialThis article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5).
@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.socialThe reality is that only about 1 of 2 millennials own a home. Gen X is nearly at 3 / 4 even though they're our older siblings, not our parents. I own a home and consider myself very lucky-- and I still plan on selling this home for a cheaper one in the next year or two.
