they just slapped a surgeons general warning on RFK like he’s a pack of cigarettes

WHOA HOLY SHIT y'all I do not and have never wanted this kind of attention, I am just an art weirdo who was trying to give my followers a heads up about something concerning. Already restricted the post, considering deleting. Yeesh.

Yeah when the government tells you when, where, how to exercise your right of free speech.... you straight up fucking laugh and ignore it.

Look, we've all had the occasional bad take. But at what point does a pundit with permanent employment in elite media get stripped of his status as a "political expert" who anyone should listen to about what's actually happening in America?

Protesters, you have an (obviously illegal) curfew now in Broadview, Illinois. Have fun completely ignoring it because it's just a justification for the brutality being sicc'd on you. You are in the right and your mayor is trying to sabotage you.

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

Link out here ratio-ing Jay from beyond the grave 😭

"AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed" so succinct! so good!

Hard to see this as anything other than a plan to balance out the "costs" of disability by killing off disabled people

When your custom character appears in a cut scene

I hadn’t seen this review from @brookeobie.bsky.social until it was just dropped in the replies but I’m moving it up because I think it’s worth reading how someone who is a Black women critic is responding to this film

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

bluesky bends their tos on a case by case basis to protect fascists and transphobes and to ban marginalized people

I also don't understand how Link can get banned for being disruptive but Jesse Singal can't? didn't Singal join and immediately start directing cross-platform harassment towards numeroys trans users? it all looks like incredibly uneven moderation

He did. And at the time, cross-platform harassment was against their TOS. They changed the TOS to keep Singal and changed it to ban Link. Mind you, Link is a user they invited.

This is such an old school forum mod temper tantrum. “I pay for the servers, you have to respect me!” And, unfortunately for her, Bluesky is mostly populated by people old enough to recognize it for what it is.

I think Bluesky CEO was supposed to be a little resume plumping detour but then users flooded in from Twitter and Boss Lady was briefly seduced by the idea of being a Riot Grrrl Anti-Caesar… until actual decisions had to be made. Then she began to resent the users for ruining her cosplay

Great thread! Definitely worth checking out the below books, but also a lot of less well-known marginalized authors, including small press and self-pubbed work

Absolute hell poison to believe the most valuable ideals are open exchange, debate, and regard for the beliefs of others, instead of actual ethics.

This whole “don’t take the bait” narrative being spun up by the resist account networks is pure counter insurgency. If fascists are trying to do violence against you and your community by all means protect yourself in any way you can. Do not comply in advance and “do nothing” in the face of fascism.

Don't confuse experience with intellect, never stop letting yourself enjoy the world, and don't stagnate in your compassion. Listen to new music, it's the voice of those after you. Never become an "I just don't get why this generation..." elder. Teach and tell. Listen and learn. Don't lose that.

link got banned over bullshit from a whole different pds. really puts the lie to the whole "decentralization" promise.

we gotta make sure we're following all the rules when we do a first amendment so for a guide to spotting if a protester might get too protesty and what you should do when you see them go to doubleyoudoubleyoudoubleyou dot fiftyfiftyone dot org slash pinkerton

I can't believe I'm seeing people on here reacting to anti-AI sentiments like its bigotry and ignorance. Its rather the opposite. "AI"-marketing wants to sell you the idea that hating it is bigotry. Its learnt thought-stopping to prevent you knowing too much to want it anywhere near your life. 1/5

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

These guys make a habit of only saying DEI because saying you are against diversity, equality and inclusion makes you sound like a cartoon villain.

If you’re not already, follow @blockclubchi.bsky.social for important coverage of what’s happening on the ground in Chicago. This is coming for all of us. “Family, Grocery Shoppers Run As Masked Agent Throws Smoke Bomb Onto Busy Chicago Street” blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one. A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

Yes. Miller can’t do this. Yes. He will be stopped. Yes. This isn’t a reason for all of us to give up hope. But it’s an absolute 7 alarm fire that we are at a point where this can be said by COS and not a single GOP, elite or media person will point out how batshit it is. Maybe Luttig and Cato.

Do I have it right that people who are trying to create digital slaves are telling other people not to use "eugenics language" toward computer programs

It should anger all of us when someone implies that you can be eugenicist towards LLMs. In an age where a eugenicist agenda is being openly implemented by the US president, with the aid/direction of SV technofascists, targeting the most vulnerable among us around the world.

The men kneeling on this peaceful protester are not ICE. The reality is that the sheer number of people in a city like Chicago means that without the state assisting in its own occupation, these “operations” could not succeed. Which certainly begs the question of who serves whom.

Brother Herbert's Big Onion

It's interesting to see the non-response to ICE rounding up U.S. citizens, terrorizing citizen-children and separating them from their citizen-parents, zip-tying red-blooded "Americans" and detaining them. It's almost like allowing this to happen to non-citizens desensitized you.

next time the president disappears for a few days we should all say he's jacking off, so when he resurfaces instead of saying "im not dead actually" he has to say the other thing

greta ily what an outfit

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

in the end it's just a decision made by humans. the terms of service isn't federal law. they run the place and they can make any decision they like—they choose who stays on their website. by being aware of jesse singal's behavior and views, they make an informed decision. they choose singal.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Hey, this whole thread is a great breakdown of the waffles bs. You should read it.

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.

It’s metastasized from “Bluesky hasn’t addressed their choice sufficiently” to “Jay is now openly mocking the fact that not acknowledging it is hurting people” with the sideshow of “the transphobe in question is openly celebrating that Jay is on his side, making her part of the performative cruelty”
