Oh f*ck off. We would all be a hell of a lot better if we spoke multiple languages. Still pisses me off that my immigrant Italian family was ashamed of speaking Italian outside of the home.

Charles Barkley saying "We live in a homophobic society" live on ESPN is the official kick off of Woke 2

Twitter became a right wing cesspool because Musk unbanned all the right wing scumbags Nazis who had been shunned previously.

every ban I've seen has not only been justified, it has, if anything, been *late*

Exactly. The vibecession crowd have built their argument around the flimsy idea that economic metrics aren't subjective and historically and politically contingent.

Nah, it's foreigners and financial interests buying up our homes as assets. A home is the only asset you can live in, but you think they care? Hell no. They're building brand new rental-only subdivisions. This is enemy action.

To be fair, income and wealth inequality has gotten particularly bad and the top 20% has gained more than the rest. And the housing market seems more directed at the top 10% or top 20% for single family homes. And that sucks for the median household that wants to buy.

Plus they have to find someone able to pay this new value or have to sell for less, at a time when huge companies owned by billionaires are laying off people by the thousands.

No, this is a real thing. People end up with houses that are worth a lot on paper, but that they can't realize those gains unless they want to live somewhere else with lower housing costs. My father wanted to downsize, but a one bedroom apartment in his city was so expensive, it didn't make sense.

No, that's not the answer, because as I've pointed out before, it doesn't distinguish between "everybody's wages monotonically increase" and "everyone's wages monotonically increase, then shuffle all wages."

Which brings me back to my original point: using your identity or group as vehicle for abuse shouldn’t be permitted, even if it’s one that does frequently suffer bad treatment. It’s just not viable to create groups that have a free pass to engage in harassment. I’m sorry.

Way to ruin the reveal of the op joke you fucking dummy

Wait…I (a white, if Jewish, guy myself) am a *bigot* because I don’t support…a white guy with a Nazi tattoo with a history of smearing rape victims & Black people??? Um…ok.

All you wanted to do was say vicious shit about somebody you don’t know and those cruel big accounts called you out on it. It’s a hard world for smol beans.

The worst thing about this is seeing the same mob behavior play out over & over, it puts some percentage of normie libs & center/left people in a position where they are tentative to lend full public support for trans folks, because they don't want to be tangentially associated with the mob behavior

Cinco de Mayo on a Taco Tuesday?

Say what you will about Liz Cheney's policy preferences, she showed a lot more guts than the Dems are on Platner right now.

Rogue One is not a very good movie.

So this, but the lobsters are kissing?

This isn’t happening. I am not sending “waves of followers” after anyone, and even when my followers do reply to someone, it isn’t for “bigoted harassment.” This is something you guys have invented as a permission structure to do the exact things you accuse me and others of.

You dislike scoldful older women. I dislike Nazis who worked for Blackwater. I guess we both have our preferences.

Also: conspiracy theories sometimes fill in for the disbelief that accompanies the reaction to things that are very stupid. As in: it can't really be that stupid, it must be a conspiracy. Lots of people underestimate stupidity.

Poutrage

35% saying they didn't think their vote would make a difference is exactly the same people who want to "smash democrats".

Both can be true. There's class struggle and workers aren't paid enough BUT ALSO, lots of Bluesky users never learned good financial management and they Doordash and do debt spending regularly when they could instead be financially solvent on their current income.

This site is disproportionately populated by people who never figured out how to be an adult with consistent income.

There’s a difference between disliking what the Dem leadership is doing, and making that one fact of your concerns your entire personality.

My Dinner With Andre sequel, but Andre is replaced with Gilbert Gottfried, but it’s just 2 hours of Wallace Shawn and Gottfried telling each other variations of The Aristocrats.

LOL, dude does an AMA on Bluesky but disables replies for people who aren't followers.

Listen, all I know is I can't afford beef anymore I do not care what the numbers say. I want to be able to afford beef. This is not an unreasonable stance, nor is it an ignorant one.

Turnstile (band) Absolutely bloody amazing. Their blend of music is literally the backing tracks of my Gen X subconscious - but they’re in their early 20s. A blend of old school 80’s hardcore and melodic, melancholy pop. Fuck me. Like Andy Summers and Al Barile had a Gen Z love child.

Streamers and podcasters are the enemy. Worthless know-nothing bullshitters dumbing down everything.

you did, he governed far to the left of what anyone would have expected. it’s incredible that you guys still have no perspective on anything that has transpired

Donald Trump: Surrender Monkey

A bunch of tankies are responding to this being like “no we’re just going to believe the Iranian propaganda,” and it’s crazy how you guys want to be lied to as much as MAGA does

Must watch

If you think Will Stancil is manosphere adjacent you need to log off

No, actually, we shouldn't. I don't think it's unreasonable for my clients to expect me to look like the professional I am when I speak to them.

I really don't need him to wear a tie (ties are dumb and bad!) or even a suit, but choosing to present yourself as a slob when there's an important job to be done does in fact convey something about your competence at the job.

the people who struggle with that aspect *also* struggle with other more important aspects of the job. this is strictly limited to roles where you have to work in client/vendor/partner relationships, it’s different for other types of work. but that’s also hard to write equitable rules for.

It's like the second trial in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE but in reverse, and antisemitic.

He's a highly respected history professor and a beloved fixture on Bluesky since its inception and before that, Twitter when it was good.
