We can run our own moderation yet Link is banned, Erin Biba is banned, Palestinian accounts are banned, Trans people accounts are banned.

Who's running the moderation again?

(Am I going to get banned for this? Probably.)

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

Watching Star Trek Voyager for the first time. It’s giving off very strong Dragon Age 2 vibes. And it has almost nothing to do with Kate Mulgrew being the Captain.

Indeed. The issue is not "Jews are white and Palestinians are brown" the issue is the state of Israel, defined constitutionally as a Jewish state in its political, legal, and social character is as a result explicitly exclusionary and creates 2nd and 3rd tiers of life. It is racial, just arbitrary.

What it means is quite literally that you can, in fact, find people of physical traits you wouldn't expect in almost every ethnic group in the world. There are Saudis who are natural blondes and Finns whose grandparents were all born there who are remarkably swarthy. It just happens.

The airstrikes may have stopped, but the real war in Gaza has just begun, a silent war of grief and shattered hearts.
Every night without those we lost, Gaza turns into one endless house of mourning.

'9-year-old Zain was playing soccer with his father when an Israeli airstrike killed him. "My life with my father was truly wonderful," Zain said. "May he rest in peace."'

This is Graham Linehan, who UKLabour, WesStreeting and every columnist in the country rushed to defend when he was arrested by police, after inciting online violence and smashed a trans girl’s phone. They are even changing the law specifically to protect him. “Just a joke” @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The refusal to acknowledge white supremacy and eugenics as drivers are why white politicians, pundits, high-level career civil servants, and academics have been repeatedly blindsided by Trump's actions, consistently fail to predict what's next, and unable to grasp the weight of the moment.

We're headed for a Depression at least equal to the Great Depression of the late 1920s/1930s, if not worse.

Please prepare yourselves as much as you can.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

When the Native Americans on what was then the island of Haiti did not collect silver from the beach as he demanded, he lined some of them up and cut off their hands.

Columbus was the first Conquistador.

Let's be clear on who Christopher Columbus was, a conquerer who spread disease & slavery who was so sadistic in the ways he treated natives he appalled the architects of the Spanish Inquisition. That's the fact of him there is to reclaim.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Also?

Robert is very close friends with Ted Nugent, a darling of all of these people. Nugent convinced a child's family to sign her over to him so he could be her legal guardian until he could legally marry her.

These men are all unconscionably despicable and have been since they came of age.

Kid Rock pals w/Trump, who was pedophile (kids) Epstein's BFF and in files. He also did a song with R. Kelly, a sex trafficking pedo (kids) who married a kid when he was nearly 30, lived in Trump Tower Chi when arrested in 2019, and neighbors (wealthy) "knew."

Change your friends, change your name!

If it wasn't for trump and his inner circle Kid Rock would be a shoe in for biggest douche in America. This chucklefuck is sitting there dressed as a cowboy and he's talking shit on people's hair and the way men dress. This guy mustn't have mirrors

I get that we all get had here and there. It happens to even the most careful people. That said, when it comes to AI generated slop - please don't make it, share it, or amplify it. Not only are you helping to poison the water supply of whole communities, but you're helping to destroy our brains.

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

One last note: about every six months I remember the Finnish dish cabinet exists and I get irrationally angry this isn't a mainstay of US culture and I'm not sure how or why, but I blame the patriarchy. They are cabinets above the kitchen sink that drain directly into the kitchen sink.

Addendum: they see labor when it costs them money or time. Hence the obsession with self-driving cars and automating fast food restaurants. It's also why they want us all to eat the slop that is Wonder restaurants. Of course Wonder only "works" in cities the very places with better options.
