Half of us hate BlueSky. A third of us hate Substack. We're deeply cynical about Dems and think the GOP is a death cult. There's bird photos on occasion. The cool kids are telling in-jokes about, alternately, kdramas, Star Trek, and the latest humiliating episode from Trump's cabinet.

I think that about does it.
