The topics on Twitter/X in March were similar to those on BlueSky, with a bit more about Palestine and the State of the Union. Overall, there were more tweets than there were posts on BlueSky, I'm sorry to say. Which means there's still more content in my feed there, or I'm spending more time there, or both. Some of these people are in both places, though they post more to Twitter. Most are not on BlueSky, however. Most of my local people have switched, and some significant non-local people, but there's clearly a large base of stubborn holdouts trying to work around the Nazi-in-chief.
Everything below the line is quoted from the attributed account, and is in reverse chronological order, except the images, which I move up or down for better visual balance.

Why do TV interviewers let newsmakers get away with dodging questions by saying they’re “not focused on that”? Why don’t the interviewers say, “Well, get focused on it please because you’re on TV and I’m asking the questions”?

A fun fact for everyone saying Trump isn’t smart enough to be a dictator: he doesn’t have to be. He’s an instinctual authoritarian serving as a figurehead for wealthy, antidemocratic oligarchs who have systematically undermined the government and society for a half century.

Western nations will destabilize an entire country to gain access to its natural resources and then their scholars will turn around and write books about how the exploited country is suffering from a “resource curse.” No, sir, your country is the curse.

“Congestion” is just a phenomenon that happens when they rent out space on the road for less than its equilibrium price. Kinda like how in the USSR they would fix bread prices too low, so people had to queue up for hours to bid for food instead of bidding up the price with money.

How does Japan have:
-quiet low-traffic neighborhoods
-eyes (and plants) on the street
-walkable, high density areas w/ detached single-family homes
-bustling, cozy commercial strips
-no street parking
It's the narrow streets! Here are some stats to keep in mind: In the US, a typical residential street is 50 feet wide. In Japan, even the *new* streets are 16 feet wide on average. And as late as 1990, half of all Japanese lived on streets that were less than 12 feet wide!

One underlying theme of all rewards and punishments is power: Those who have it use them to control those who don't. Another, less obvious premise is mistrust: To rely on bribes or threats is to assume the recipients will respond only to extrinsic inducements. Note that defenders of behavior control also tend to demand direct, explicit instruction. Makes sense because that, too, is rooted in distrust - in this case, of kids as learners. This sour cynicism is then rationalized as realism; those who demur are dismissed as Romantics.

The implicit ideology of zoning is that neighborhoods are static: once built, their basic physical character should never change. Once in a while you see someone make it explicit. Real cities can't operate this way. Communities' needs evolve, and so must the built environment. Zoning, to be clear, is not in any legal sense a promise that what is disallowed now will always be disallowed. Changing zoning is not a breach of contract. But lots of property owners FEEL like it is.

The outrage at the thought of migrants hurting white women comes from the *migrants* part of it, not the *hurting* part of it. The outrage derives from the fact that people on the very bottom of the social hierarchy are claiming spoils they are not due. That's the violation. In other words, the message is, "THEY are presuming to exercise power over OUR white women!" It's the same sense of violation they feel when black people are given slots in top universities or positions of power in the coporate world -- the people beneath us are getting our stuff!

If you are attracted to rationalism (as I am!), your primary obligation is not rudeness or insensitivity to group dynamics (you probably already have that covered) but ***humility***. You should be aware, at all times, that you too are probably falling short of True Reason. If you truly take that humility on board, then you take a different perspective on how to make human affairs and societies more rational. The answer is *not* for a handful of bros to train themselves to be Übermenschen, super-reasoners, and then lecture the rest of us. You realize no individual reasoner (or special group of "rationalists") is ever going to be reliable over the long-term. We're all human. The only hope is inscribing the practices and values of truth-finding into institutions that transcend any set of individuals.
