Didn't you used to be John Scalzi?

John Scalzi fellates BlueSky, while ignoring that "blocking" there sounds no different than blocking on Twitter, and that BlueSky was a project of "Blue Balls Ice Bath" Jack Dorsey when he still ran Twitter, who looks good today only because of Elmo Musk replacing him. He also sounds semi-clueless about Mastodon. Here's the racist reality there.

It's clear from his "register to vote" sidebar, and main post on that, that he's a left hand of the duopoly guy, even if not a deep-fried duopolist. Beyond that? He's written nothing on his site about Israel-Gaza.

On Russia-Ukraine, he claims that we were in a post-Cold War era until the start of the war. Bullshit.

I know my friend, the late Leo Lincourt, seemed to love him some Scalzi. I believe it was for non-political reasons. I hope it was.

To me, what Scalzi sounds like is that long poem about not letting the world trouble you, whose name escapes me because I haven't read it for years. It sounds portentious, but is really pretentious; it sounds profound, but is really more platitudinous.
