honestly samoa joe just gets more terrifying with age. because once i hit 30 i started having pain in places i didnt know could hurt with minimum 76 bones cracking each time i got out of bed. meanwhile joe is ready to murder every week without fail with incredible enthusiasm. #AEWWrestleDream 🤼

My kid only watches wrestling during the PPVs. She just saw her first ICE ad and was like “yo what the FUCK.”

We used to spend 2.5 hours to download a single song labeled as Britney Spears but it would be Darude's Sandstorm when you actually played it. We used to have to defrag and Norton scan to get rid of the OopsIDidItAgain.exe we ran by accident in the snow, up hill, both ways!

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

As the description notes, this also includes some of the accounts they're interacting with that are not themselves following the gov accounts. Does not include every account following the gov accounts, just the ones that scream "this is coordinated platform manipulation" to me.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts

It's big Trump protest day so that means we are mere hours away from my least favorite Bluesky: the Russian disinfo surge.

Here's how it works, and what you can do about it. 🧵

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")?

Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

I just saw a Goth account praise ICE, and make racist comments about Latinos.

Motherfucker, you are a GOTH. There IS no goth today without Chicanos and Mexicans. They are almost single-handedly keeping it alive. That’s like being antisemitic but building your identity around Manishewitz.
