Proposing marriage to someone in front of a crowd is coercion and a “yes” is not freely given consent.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Everybody: please stop mentioning that Farage was regularly on Russia Today, a channel now banned for its Russian propaganda content, blamed the EU for Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014, had a Russian spy running his Welsh operation, and built his whole career on a policy Putin supports.

Mark Chadbourn @chadbourn.bsky.social · 1d

Farage is doing a big media push to deny he has any links with Putin and Russia.

It’s obviously starting to hurt.

Far too many Bluesky users are convinced, in the absence of evidence, that cops will save them from ICE

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

I see screen caps like this and the novelty of how in-sync Jerry and I are on the AcqInc stage never fails to amaze me. Lockstep.

@thatbronzegirl.bsky.social , I had to share this meme I made. The screen pause was too perfect to NOT meme it! You and @tychobrahe.bsky.social provide all the best stuff together! Apologies for the cropping of the preview. #TeamCertanty #LongLiveSilkRoad #DnD #CyberpunkRed

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"

Cameron @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 1d

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

I can beat the medievalists! In 61 CE, revolting British natives attacked the Roman colony of Camulodunum (Colchester). In 2015, in a domestic space, archs found the remains of a whole box of coriander as well as fenugreek, poppy seeds, cumin, & other Indian spices. Homesick Roman women made curry.

Katelyn Boo-urns @katelynburns.com · 2d

I'm pretty sure there were Indian spices in England before potatoes.

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is saying some communities have become 'war zones'"

Does he get e-mails with instructions from the Trump White House? Or does he just read what they say and then adopt it as his own?

good blog

But, like so many things in our lives these days, realizing it’s all bullshit doesn’t get you out of the bullshit, as our billionaires and tech overlords go full masks off about how much they just don’t care about the average person and their needs.

Advice for new BlueSky users:

This place is a message and part of a system of messages.

Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

In 2009 the home team won every game of the Stanley Cup Final until game 7. So there's precedent for the righteous to prevail in that situation

On the record, I think sneering at these people that they’re somehow *bad* because they stayed on Twitter for this long is incredibly counterproductive

it’s great that more people have escaped the Mussolini Piss Hole and come to Bluesky actually, their numbers shall strengthen us

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 4d

judging from what I’m seeing right now, a large-scale Twitter Exodus Event is 100% what’s happening

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic
