This might be one of the most baffling and tone deaf takes I’ve seen on bluesky- enjoying Harry Potter is not comparable to a person’s sexuality

Rookie Yawaru: Nope, what people like is similar to their sexuality in that you don't decide what you like, you do for the reasons you do.
Also, when it comes to relationships and your partner gives you an ultimatum, you don't choose them.

Dr. Hazel: are you doing a bit

Rookie Yawaru: No, I'm serious. I don't tell people they can't love who they love or what they love. It's a consistent position and if you disagree, please explain why.

Yeah…I don’t know if this makes me bi, or just human, but he could have me any time he wanted.

Lee Pace in The Fall is the result of a decades-long experiment to see what happens if all the hotness for an entire generation is concentrated in the body of a single man

One thing I’ll always give Biden, he seemed to have understood how toxic monopolies were for society and how far we’d let corporations go down that road. Maybe it was always doomed, maybe he was always gonna be too late. But he did what he could.

Jesus, no one’s fucking leaving New York if Mamdani wins. No one’s quitting. No one’s changing anything. Journalists who are covering this story are lying. Not misinformed. Not ridiculously naive. Lying little fuckers, every single one.

In case you aren’t aware, any video you see with the label “Sora” is A.I. generated. It’s fake.

Do NOT make or share #AI videos. It contributes to misinformation, and to a larger culture of disrespect for truth and disregard of reality.

Plus it enriches capitalist techbros raping the planet.

I truly believe a big reason why Democrats are failing to appropriately respond to the moment is a pathological refusal to admit that there were aspects of the American status quo pre trump that were extremely fucked up and unjust

who do we think bears more responsibility: the 27-year-old pop star (who did vote for Harris) or the senior administration official dunking on her

Neera Tanden: There was something to do to avoid this 11 months ago. Would have been good to tell people to do it.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

If you get emotionally upset at criticism (valid not a bullshit lie criticisms) of your favs, especially POLITICIANS

that is a critical sign you have serious work to do.

I'm not saying you're bad or shitty or anything like that. I AM NOT SUBTLE.

What I am saying...and please do listen...

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 1d

Extremely funny that people think this is now a Pritzker hate account when all we've been doing is documenting the same police violence we've been documenting well before this ICE surge

Sorry for disrupting your worldview. Welcome to what cops are!!!

So if UPS is destroying all these packages what happens after that? Does the buyer eat shit? Does the seller go bankrupt issuing refunds? How much damage is this bullshit doing?

I don't have to explain to you how AI cannot ever create art or even just work and especially how it cannot inject itself into the work it does to make that work mean something more. Something life affirming.

I just have to show you Walter Hill's Streets Of Fire because only humans can make that!

Twitter isn’t shaping policy. Billionaires are shaping policy then convincing people to follow along using platforms like Twitter. Marching in that parade of fools accomplishes nothing.

Jonn Elledge @jonnelledge.bsky.social · 3d

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

They really super suck and you should avoid supporting them. There are much better options if you do the research

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Private equity wrecked UK high street, says Iceland Foods boss

PE model - low wages, cut staff/investment, high debt, profiteering, tax abuse.

PE devoured Debenhams, Maplin, Byron Burger, Cath Kidson, Comet, Flybe, Poundworld, Toys R Us.

Controls care homes, vets, supermarkets.

Richard Walker says private buyers take out costs and fail to invest then sell to the highest bidder in a cycle that makes retailers steadily worse
