Obviously this nuanced and generous take is not in any way proving any points that I actually made in my column. 🤔

The FT is sad Bluesky doesn’t have more Nazis. www.ft.com/content/6596...

With Bluesky, the social media echo chamber is back in vogue

The great migration from Elon Musk’s X has seen users, especially progressives, retreat into one particular silo

Disageeeing that a place is an ‘echo chamber’ by all agreeing it’s not an ‘echo chamber’ is <chef’s kiss>

Ironically, the level of vitriol in response to @jemima.bsky.social's column on the echoey nature of the BlueSky chamber has matched any twitter pile on I've ever seen, only with an added dose of self-righteousness. (1/11)

I agree we should listen to the people, not the consultants or the politicians: - 85% of Americans believe Biden is too old to serve a second term - 62% of Democrats, and 57% of all Americans, want another nominee - 36% of Americans approve of Joe Biden abcnews.go.com/Politics/bid...

“Biden is polling far behind his 2020 vote share in scores of competitive House districts. Internal surveys from May and June show him losing districts in New York and California that he carried by double-digit margins four years ago.” www.politico.com/news/2024/07...

Project 2025 authors at the Heritage Foundation are already alleging the next election will be stolen, claiming any result other than a Trump victory in November will have been the result of fraud and will be challenged.

I’m really just here to shitpost, I cannot stand this site

I’m sorry Twitter is much more toxic now but its For you is still so, so much better than any of the feeds here, and Twitter is so much more diverse than Bluesky, which is exclusively American progressives. If people challenge me I will take a video of scrolling through it lol

"What Biden and his aides have refused to grapple with is that most voters thought Biden was too old to be an effective president long before the debate. Biden’s emerging line that this is an elite obsession — or plot against him — gets it backward." www.nytimes.com/2024/07/11/o...

Opinion | Democrats Are Drifting Toward the Worst of All Possible Worlds

Biden’s nomination crisis is far from over.

TBH I mostly just listen to their podcasts at this point! And am generally happy with them. If I had to guess I'd say they're leaning hard on the Biden coverage b/c they're genuinely terrified he will lose and also there's a bit of a rivalry (WH wanted more favourable coverage?)?
