¿Por qué no los dos?

For those unaware of the origin, It’s a name of a Jewish moneylender character in The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare.

What the fuck is this shit?

That’s fair. I was thinking standard in the sense that they caucus and fundraise with them.

For those unaware, the DFL in Minnesota is the standard Democratic Party, it grew out of a merger of the Democratic Party and the MN Farmer-Laborer party in the 1940s

A Nationalist American Zenith Initiative Party. Really “Bring America back to its high point” kind of movement.

Don’t forget about disarming all the agencies investigating his companies.

According to a few different online people they’ve supposedly been a throuple for a few months now.

I don’t know that this is true, but I read it, and now you have to as well.

The lull after the spike could just as likely show a drop off in bot accounts active during the US election. But that’s immaterial because growth is not the same as success.

As long as it’s got an active returning user base that gets value from the product and is able to curate their own experience, it’s able to sustain itself based on the money it has/gains, people are building new tools to make it more engaging, and it’s not being taken over by undesirable actors so that active user base starts to look at another solution, and sites increasingly see Bluesky as a driver of traffic to their websites, it think that would qualify it as a objective success.

If you have a different metric, please feel free to share it.

Based on the chart that they are referencing, while the monthly uniques is lower than the spike, it’s still higher than the previous plateau.

Spikes are moments in time and less important than a sustained use which still shows growth.

I don’t expect other people to understand this but I do expect you to understand this. We started this journey together.

This is all half remembered from Reddit…

If I recall correctly there was an old subreddit 195 that was named for the address numbers of some dorm or other housing a college campus to share memes and stuff with each other. It was left of center but eventually devolved out of control and started to get more mean. 196 was created as an offshoot to migrate to after 195 became a cesspit, part of the rules of 196 was you had to post a picture before leaving (maybe?). It was taken over by leftists after a while and swung more towards a ml/tankie bent.

My voice is my passport, verify me.

I think the one thing that visual misses out on is that no one accounted for how many would describe themselves as loving having their face eaten.

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don’t have an active network connection? If yes, that’s a “read it later” service. If no, then that’s why they are useful.

I bet he totally got special access to go up to the crown or torch whenever he wanted.

Checkmate!

They also don’t produce it either apparently.
