Will Bluesky Be A Thing?

I still think Jack Smith is the bomb

News-wise, I’ve been taking it easy for the last two days, mostly for self preservation, but also as we head into Thanksgiving, I sense there is a lull. Trump has done a lot of nominating, and now we wait. But I also sense that some things that are happening need a deeper dive and I will give that thought tomorrow. For example, Trump’s desire to fire everyone around Jack Smith, who will resign before Trump takes office. Smith hopes to complete his work as Special Council and “not leave any significant part of his work for others to complete and to get ahead of the president-elect’s promise to fire him within “two seconds” of being sworn in.” The NY Times reports that Smith plans to release his findings of the Federal case against Trump and step down from his position before inauguration. The document will be for the public to read, and no longer for a jury. My book of Trump trial drawings will be hopefully done before Trump take office.

The growth of the social media sight, Bluesky, is fascinating, and I am curious as to what that might mean for Twitter. While now a primarily right wing place, Twitter has been a source of news for me, from the left/liberal journalists and news accounts I follow there. People are again leaving Twitter in droves. Is the growth of Bluesky a way for the left to mobilize for activism? I want to figure out how to really use Bluesky, where I have a growing account. Please follow me there.

Here are a few drawings for the season. We still have some leaves on the trees here, but they’re going fast. It’s really gorgeous.

Thanks for being here, see you tomorrow. I am heading out to buy a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner!
