sums it up. headlines on crowd sizes and the feeling that maybe something happens (somewhere else) aren’t action, and getting a bunch of people to show up to a party for nothing isn’t organizing. find your people and build something real.

as charming and whimsical as some will view this, it bears noting that absurdity—not militancy or might—are what people have chosen to repeat from the portland standoffs against ICE. why is that? what purpose does this serve? a mini 🧵:

decentralize or die you didn’t need to be in FRSO or whatever bullshit org anyway

scheduling is hard

also consider that many big online voices are also white people with microphones, even the left ones. they share a context with kirk that makes them kneejerk sympathetic out of fear.

They're doing straight up blood libel with this.

i think internet safety education kind of pulled a DARE everyone started engaging with social media and meeting new people and went “this isn’t as dangerous as they said it was at all!” they were right but idk, gotta be a better balance. not blaming these folks at all obv

i think we should probably not allow these people to be a part of a popular front

i’ve suddenly remembered why i got rid of the discover tab. holy shit these bluesky libs are stupid assholes.

If your response to hearing that a bunch of people died in a flash flood is anything other than heartbreak and compassion I think you might be the baddies

Total Mia cultural victory, haters in shambles, they're calling her the most vindicated girl in human history, Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies acknowledging that Mia is herself a power, Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

the US revolution was not a revolt against colonization but instead the (seemingly) permanent cementing of the colonial project. It's not like India or Ireland breaking free from the UK, it's like if the British colonists in India broke free from the UK's control.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets
