Nothing like a Sunday evening meeting to start out the work week!

Being Irish, I can’t say I blame them for the “Irish need not apply” signage. 😉

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

You must have thought her comment was unnecessary as well because you blocked it. 🤷‍♂️ Who is it that you are angry with?

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 20h

I have fostered and adopted. Do you have an issue with me agreeing with you, or what’s the deal here? What’s up? What’s bothering you?

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 20h

When I said I agree, I was agreeing with 𝘺𝘰𝘶. Though the post about dogs are heartbreaking, they are necessary to draw attention to what is happening. Those that say they should not be posted are the ones who want to stay ignorant.
You wouldn’t treat a dog with the disrespect you just gave me.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 20h

The post blasting the original was unnecessary. I start out agreeing and end up—agreeing.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 20h

I meant the other post was unnecessary. The one asking for fosters was necessary.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 20h

You misread my comment.

Amen

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

They relish the narrative of their shared struggles with black people and their perceived rightful place in society.

They purposefully disregard the institutionalized racism that gifted ALL whites with immense privilege and opportunity as soon as they landed on Ellis Island.

We have known this for almost a decade. They’re just proving us right, now. After calling us “radical”, “lunatics”, “alarmists”, etc., for just saying what was obvious. I’m just sitting here like mmmm hmmmm 💅🏻, but the nails would look horrible because I’m shaking with fury, as usual.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 21h

I did not know this.
And it doesn’t hurt my feelings.
It infuriates me, as it should all of us.
We can’t change behavior and resist actions we don’t know about (which is precisely why we didn’t learn about it).
Teach this stuff in schools!

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

As many of you know, I’m an optician. Or you don’t know anything about me, but I’m still an optician.
I had retinal surgery and my vision is terrible right now. I have to call over coworkers to read some things for me sometimes.
Pretty sure I’ve lost the faith of my patients.

I updated my iPhone but it screwed up my internet. I tried out the “Phone” app.
I called my family. They seem nice, I guess.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 22h

I thought this app was going to be like the new school where nobody knew me and I’d reinvent myself. I’d be so cool and say profound things. People would flock to my feed for knowledge and comfort.

I have one friend on here. You know who you are. Thank you.

Updating computers has gotten complicated.
1. Check Compatipility
2. Backup your info using a 1.21 Gigawatt Flux Capacitor.
3. No, that one won’t work.
4. Not that one either.
5. Okay FINALLY, now click the dropdown menu under Tesla Coil Operations.
6. Um, is you Dad home..?

okay, I know this is a little weird, but last night I was woken up by extreme etching behind my knees and the back of my legs. I have these lines of bumps, and strangelt, they are right near where I recently had small bruises. What IS this? It’s so itchy!
(I know, my legs are so sexy…)

People are especially likely to process information to support their own beliefs when an issue is highly important or self-relevant.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 3d

This biased approach to decision making is largely unintentional, and it results in a person ignoring information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. These beliefs can include a person’s expectations in a given situation and their predictions about a particular outcome.

𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐆 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗫, MadWisc. @iseeyoureyes.bsky.social · 3d

That’s the opposite of science. He’s insane. Get him a straight jacket!
Confirmation bias: people’s tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with their existing beliefs.
