My local grocery store should take note.
I think US Senators should dress in ways that show respect for the institution, and for democracy.
But this idiotic commentary -- and even more idiotic promotion of it by the Washington Post -- demonstrates contempt for pretty much everyone who correctly understands there is zero parallel between fascists in waiting and a poorly dressed politician.
Note: Neckties are a ridiculous convention that should have ended ages ago.
@pluralistic After spending several months on Bluesky and working with the protocol (on building a PHP library for it), I realized it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

I mean: good for you, it's about time. But don't expect any kind of medal or applause for finally doing the bare minimum that everyone with any decency and integrity did months or years ago. Don't get me wrong: you needed to do this. You just showed a lot about yourself by waiting to this point. So, I guess, welcome back into the human race ...
