While I do not have any immediate emergency issues, I would like to afford a bit of food for Thanksgiving this week.

So I'm here to announce 50% off my normal rates for commissions! A Black Friday deal!

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Your periodic reminder that @radiofreetom.bsky.social who many of you like to follow, and who writes for the Atlantic, was pushing the great replacement theory before Trump and has never apologized for it. He's part of what got us here.

Ignorance is the result of malice. Some choose it maliciously specifically because ignorance advances malicious intent and knowledge does not; others fall into ignorance through misinformation and propaganda and other malicious tools that malicious people use in order to manufacture ignorance.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

Not to sound cliche or -- god forbid -- Performative, but if I had a kid and her school suspended her for this my response would probably get me fucking executed
A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

No! People are mad that BlueSky's AI automod regularly gets it wrong, moderation decisions/ penalties are seemingly arbitrary, and the moderation team has terrible comms.

The billionaires, media, and both major US parties cooperate with each other to fuck the American populace. It's going to be hard to keep in mind that all of it needs to be toppled. But it's...everything. Is the whole goddamn apparatus.

We are a failed state.
