People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others” According to another observer, she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy”

whatever the most embarrassing wokoid 2014 tumblr post you could find doesn’t come close to this. Republicans are the googoo gaga party now

so i don’t think this should be a hot take but for the record i think the chances republicans give up power without some level of violence - a mini jan 6 at best - is basically nil.

How much of this "Ai has feelings and is sentient" is rooted in a desire for a friend that will tolerate your ass or won't call you out on any heinous bullshit u may be up too

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique. If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you. Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

This Strib story is bananas, Bee-A-N-A-N-A-S

twitter is currently a frankenstein combination of 4chan and tumblr. we all know this. but bluesky is a different beast that i don't think people born after ~2004 fully grasp. bluesky is a frankenstein combination of tumblr and somethingawful

harassing CEOs is good actually

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

the man loves katz

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

are you there god? it's a-me, mario

yeah like, look, i am under no illusions about my shitposts on here somehow representing Valuable Labor and i LIKE it that way because i think the Internet got worse when people started viewing literally everything they did online ever as Potentially Monetizable Content

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

A few years ago they did a streaming movie where the deputies have to serve Q a subpoena and it was hilarious. Unfortunately Paramount+ vanished it and now there’s no (legal) way to watch it…

People get mad at Mark Fisher but this is, quite literally, what he meant with the individual medicalization of the political. They’re trying to call you stupid, depressed, and psychotic for caring about the murders and camps.

today's newsletter: a consideration of the many wonderful cars in One Battle After Another, in particular Willa's 2005 Yaris, Sensei's T-Bird Super Coupe and Bob's boosted 1991 Nissan Sentra SE-R

bluesky devs wanting to make twitter-reddit linkedin but getting mad about getting e621 and deviantart instead will never stop being funny to me shoutout unmarketable queers and kink artists keep doing good work

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Jay's being a little selective with the truth here - harassing the *mods* into banning someone doesn't work. Harassing the executives into ordering people banned or suspended absolutely DOES work, so long as you do it in a newspaper column or editorial.

the point of having a comms team, just so everyone is clear, is not only to write better statements than you (which everyone arrogantly thinks they don't need) but also to give others the power to take your phone away when needed, because this is patently embarrassing at this point.

just saw lowtaxes ex wife weighing in on bsky ceo’s behaviour. dumbest thing always happens!!!

Has anyone put a version of this to song yet?

This is premeditated homicide and quite possibly piracy. There is no even arguable legal authority for the president to commit an extrajudicial killing of these men. There is no declaration of war or other legal basis for any military action. There is no applicable legal justification or defense.

johnson has painted himself into a corner where he can’t even be seen making a deal like this, he has promised his caucus total dem capitulation and they won’t accept anything less

Similar to the quest for the good cops I think we’re going to find the search for the “good” Silicon Valley tech person to be fruitless.

Nintendo lawyers canceling their weekend plans

Drake, Taylor Swift, & Morgan Wallen are the Holy Trinity of making music for cops.

really seems like @govpritzker.illinois.gov is talking out of both sides of his mouth. either step in or stop pretending.

Begging the site's founders to please log off

There’s at least 30% of this society that needs to be beaten to a pulp with this bit

comic book authors: we invented the punisher as a cautionary tale about vigilante crime fighting the director of the fbi: at long last, we are implementing the ethos from the classic comic book the punisher

Look, you can demand deference as a king or you can sling shit with the peasants, but you can’t do both. It’s true whether you’re a president, CEO, or kindergarten teacher.

Consumerism is kind of undeniably a political system, and we get twisted because of that unacknowledged frame People have tangibly expressed more political power as a customer than they ever have with voting. It comes off as learned helplessness that they can’t perceive themselves as anything else

not paying attention to whatever is happening with the bluesky infighting going on but hating the people who run the website you post on is the correct and natural order of things whatever the proximate cause is

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

The world is hell, it’s being run by all of the worst people, & I’m a fat loser who’s never gonna be able to make anything better. I ain’t even able to lift my own mood, making the world even the tiniest bit better is completely out of the question.

I’m gonna become very obnoxious about sending everyone this @davidklion.bsky.social piece that lays it out. hey Dave let's make a tiktok version for the normies www.theguardian.com/media/ng-int...

holy shit the Chevron refinery just went up

What if despair was a sexuality?

Remember, lawsuits are part of the public record... and there's no record of a lawsuit between the Smith family, Berkeley, and the Japanese parties. At least not in CA or NY, when I searched for one. It is true that the rights were obtained via Berkeley, without the Smith family's consent.

the part where carl talks about wanting to put the Lensman TV series on the sci-fi channel, what might have been... 😢
