The January wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles forced the state to spend billions in disaster aid
-- and delay tax filings for LA residents.
The cost of Medi-Cal,
the state-run health insurance program for low-income residents, ballooned to $6 billion more than anticipated.
Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again tariff policies rocked the stock market,
which California heavily relies on for tax revenue.
And the state lodged a flurry of lawsuits again…

Lembrete periódico Šs pessoas do Bluesky sobre como e com quem posso interagir pela ponte.
Para interação total, vocês têm também de estar na ponte, i.e., têm de seguir a conta do bridgy fed no bluesky. Nesse caso é praticamente como estarmos todos na mesma rede.
Para os outros só hš interação parcial, e só SE tiverem a conta aberta.
Se não a têm, e/ou se as vossas opções exigem que se esteja com login feito, a interação possível é um redondinho zero. Nem vos posso ler.

A general (shitty) comment on BlueSky
A few days ago I've seen something comparing ex-Twinnera to a privy, and praising #BlueSky.
My dear, don't you see the irony? The way I see it, you've just moved from one of Jack Dorsey's privies into another, after he let Elon and his friends shit in the middle of the floor to get some money from them. And now you're delighted, because obviously the same thing won't happen again.
But this new Nazi bar has vegan sausages…

Mastodon should copy the "only followers can reply" setting from Bluesky, it's extremely helpful
(No, "only your followers can see your post" isn't the same thing.)
