you mean someone on his yacht started a bs profile.
Ah yes, notable for codifying and expanding Bush's drone war and then... somehow getting a Peace Prize for that?
Also, we can literally blame the rise and prominence of Tom Homan on Obama. So should be still really be cheering for Obama at all, ever?
Can we fuck off with this pretending that these fucks didn't enable the situation we're now literally in? How could we expect our government to go after Trumps crimes when Obama said "we need to look forward, not backward" in respect to going after war crimes?
Further, can we stop pretending that one corporate social media is better than another corporate social media. Jay Graber talks good game, but so did Zuckerberg, Musk, and Dorsey before they got their billions. You're just building another billionaire who will turn on you.
Reminder, Bluesky owes literally millions to Blockchain Capital, a venture capital firm. They will have to pay that money back somehow. The enshittification will happen. And I'm sick of the weak loser excuse "We will just move to another shitty corporation with another shitty corporate social media service when this one doesn't work out." Cool, and you'll mint more billionaires each time, you jabronis.
That half the reason is only for weird celebrity worshipping jackasses.
