It’s almost as if the people who think they are immune to propaganda (so they don’t double check their beliefs and sources) are *the most susceptible to propaganda* (like say the boomers who think because they grew up w tv think they are immune to it’s great propaganda possibilities)

I still can’t wrap my head about what a million or a billion is, but this is the best reference I’ve found for comparing the two.

1 million seconds is like 12 days.

1 billion seconds is like 33 years.

Bezos, Musk and their ilk have 100s of billions. No coming back from that.

Ok, it's paraphrasing a Johnny Cash lyric - the point is, if you are a human with a brain that is able to think, you can sort this out.

If you are an AI presence then I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

what are we even doing here @safety.bsky.app ?

This is not reasonable. And the poster claims she had no idea why she was banned. As numerous folks have cited, this is a Johnny Cash lyric.

your business model depends on NOT being like META or X. please use some common sense.

I just want to mention that this was a New York Times reporter Epstein was talking to, and the NYT has never disclosed these emails or any photos conveyed.

but they won't because many of them, as well as many of their biggest donors, are also in there.

I dunno. Maybe we should ask Bezos, Ellison, Elon, Jamie Dimon, the remaining Koch brother, or any other of a bout 5,000 American Billionaires who seem to never have enough $ and don't give a fuck who gets hurt/killed in their quest for even more.

ooh this looks cool.

I know this is unrelated, but what are the chances you folks might restore/release the Karel Zeman animated/live action films not in Criterion's box set? Like Bláznova kronika/A Jester's Tale or On The Comet?

But when she does commit it's pretty terrible. Kinda wish they'd all stop trying it.

What was that movie from the 90s w Jeff Bridges and his dad Lloyd? Blown Away? I love me some Jeff Bridges but that Boston accent is so bad it ruined the film for me (which probably wasn't great to begin with)

i'd say Vera Farmiga's may actually be worse in that movie
