so, if I don't actually know you, and you follow me, and I see you're following more than one thousand people? I block. Follow farms are pointless.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I've come to the sad conclusion the only way we get a woman president is when the Republicans run a woman candidate. Or rather, when both parties do, because it's only going to happen if they have no other choice.

I might one day get a semi-colon on my wrist, but otherwise I'm like "but that's permanent, what if you change your mind or the context changes?"

But also, expecting Nazis to have even a blink of common sense isn't reasonable.

I’m putting “purity test” on the big board of bullshit terms right next to “polarized.” Terms that, when you hear them, the odds the person using them is talking bullshit approaches 100%.

like, for example, just say political transphobia isn't a deal breaker for you instead of whining about purity tests

The irony of the gov shutdown and failure to provide food stamps right before ‘thanksgiving” should not be lost on anyone. A holiday that celebrates the genocide of indigenous people in North America won’t be celebrated by the poorest among us because our gov needed a ballroom & are protecting pedos

I've been seeing quite a few MAGA edgelord accounts today.

Friendly reminder:

Block immediately, and do not engage.

I know they're not having as much fun on twitter with so many of us here, but it's not our job to pet them and feed them little treats of attention.

Do not engage.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
