Fascist court decrees fascist leader can use fascist troops on citizens.

also, specific feeds (like Film bsky.app/profile/fran...) are better at discovering accounts than jsut the generic Discover one.

The one thing too is to try to find starter packs; I think a lot of the newer users aren't as aware of using that but those were key for me a year ago.

the one thing that people don't recognize about BS is that if you spend the time to truly cater the accounts you follow, its a fantastic experience.

if you rely on Discover, its just a less shitty version of Twitter.

Graham Platner, a Marine veteran turned oyster farmer, now disavows posts he made years ago, saying they came from a time when he felt disillusioned and angry and expressed those emotions online.

@whstancil.bsky.social is using 6th grade English logic to try to make some superiority claim.

His statement is badly written. Anyone who got past middle school knows it's badly written. It requires a simple edit and he has refused to do it because hes a narcissist.

this is exactly why the I Had It women are surging. It's been ten years of trying to repent for a misquote and listen to Obamas "they go low we go high" bullshit.

there is no logical, moral strategy to change these people. the ugly route is the only route now.

Will could have written a statement that was clearer, not attention seeking, and easier to assess without a bunch of people (from both political sides) think that Bluesky liberals are all crazy and stupid.

He chose not to cause hes a narcissist.

the OG post is also just wrong; most Gen Z and under kids aren't familiar with The Jetsons (and they should be). We should support this over the eventual Fortnite movie.

you're being a egoistical narcissist about this and actually being detrimental to the anti-fascist movement.

what is the point of the evangelical movement in this country if they cant stop this shit (which actually would be a good use of extreme Puritanism)

Remember how under Biden the press said this was the biggest issue ever but how now under Trump it’s barely mentioned? Yeah.

Everyone agrees that we're currently in a dotcom era-like AI bubble. People disagree what sort of bubble it is.

There are 3 stories one can tell about the dotcom crash: a startup story, a telecom story, and an accounting fraud story.

My take: it's giving Enron

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

We cannot fight the far right until we acknowledge that the spread of ideas and beliefs is what drives voter behavior and other political decisions, and that we have created an information environment that is extraordinarily favorable to the far right

you were in office for 8 years and made the situation worse. shut the fuck up.

please state what moderation of what positions you think would create net benefit for all marginalized groups.

if you don't have the balls to say what groups you don't care about, then you aren't going to do anything but fuel right-wing bigotry.

actually what's remarkable is folks thinking MTG is anything but a bigoted, evil ghoul who wants to make life worse for any non-white, non-Christian in this country.

Part of the transition from conservatism to authoritarianism is the shift from lies with some veneer of plausibility (wink wink) to lies that are demonstrably, obviously lies, such that accepting them involves an almost total subjugation of individual discernment or judgment.

this would have done gangbusters. the main issue with AC is that its become repetitive or too resembling of better games.

This would have been a much different gameplay style while being more unique.

the problem is that most of the Democratic leaders in Congress probably would agree with this cause they have no idea who Bad Bunny is.
