If bluesky becomes a forum to share our cat pics I won’t be mad.

Hey all! Especially all the comics creators and comics fans on bluesky. If you are on threads find me there as well. I’m planning on being active on both platforms.

In two weeks at SD Comic-Con we are launching the first ever Congressional Popular Arts Caucus. The bi-partisan caucus is focused on the comics industry, gaming, and popular entertainment media. We will also be hosting a panel and meet up opportunity on Sunday. See you soon!

I actually hope that political figures like @aoc.bsky.social and @robertgarcia.bsky.social leverage Bluesky AND Threads in different ways. Threads is where you bring ideas to market but Bluesky is where the collaborative planning happens. Bluesky is a focus group. Threads is the market launch.

I really like threads but don’t plan to leave this place. Best thing about bluesky is the curation of users and community. I’m hopeful there’s space for both.

do not mistake “skewing left” for educated, peer reviewed, and science based facts.

It is true that Blue Sky skews left right now. I would prefer it to have more diversity of opinions but I would sincerely hope those thoughts are more interesting than, "I don't like being disagreed with."

Few things made me feel more patriotic as a kid than this.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 4(source)

CC is on my list to pick up!

Always punch nazis and always ban them from this site. Happy 4th of July.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialJul 3(source)

Folks are looking for different things from bluesky and that’s ok. For me, besides cool connections it’s reliable news and information aggregation. Especially during a major event or as it happens. The bird app had that down for a while.
