we should start punching each other in the face instead of using our words or guns. just a whole lot of slapping.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

To me it illustrates how often these terms are deployed in an untrustworthy or bad faith way. A great many things that have material impact are now described as “performative.” If putting your body in an Israeli cell while trying to get food to Gaza isn’t material, nothing is.

The oddest criticism of the freedom flotillas is that they are “symbolic” & “performative.” I am curious to know what practical politics one deploys against a genocide: do they want Thunberg to carry nuclear weapons?It’s simple: the flotilla makes ppl feel ashamed: by their own silence, & cowardice

I was gifted another original Garfield strip. Now I have 4. 😭

some might say if I’d meant Twitter I’d have drawn Musk, but I’ve actually NEVER done that so

Now, a group of scientists have identified a new type of nanotube that appears to be acting as a kind of bridge, transporting materials between dendrites—the branched projections on neurons.

Permabanning an autistic user for presumed subtext he categorically denies is ableist as hell.

1/🧵 Although I oppose the Digital ID scheme, I don’t think there’s any realistic way to stop it. Therefore, I’m focusing on possible mitigation measures for trans people. What do you think should be included in the primary legislation? Protection against the disclosure of previous identity?

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

mychal is such a blessing

This is very cool. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We should have stopped at blogs and rss

I just watched a video of an ICE agent trying to find a costumed frog's rear air hole to stick pepper spray in it, and, like, why are we paying people to do this

The dahlias are still dahliaing. #garden #gardens #bloomscrolling 🌱

CEO: “you’re all free to leave. it’s decentralized, remember!” same CEO: *bans you on the appview so none of the decentralized services can see you*

i’m going to make a popular website then destroy it by being an asshole. has this been done

I’m not talking about people being anti-dogpile, anti-abuse. I don’t have an issue with that *obviously*, I agree! But if someone has a concern, I am seeing “fuck off lol” to any attempt to be heard. That’s seriously concerning.

appreciate this subtle nod to Tarantino in Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie

MOOMIN MOVIE INCOMING this is not a drill!!!! reactormag.com/rebecca-suga...

the very DNA of this app is more tainted than any of us want to admit. The fact that they can just ban Link off a bunch of ATProto sites proves this shit is the same as everything else out there

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself! one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

If they didn’t blink at the IDF deliberately splattering three British ex-squaddies who were guarding an aid group convoy from a charity that has Barack Obama as a patron, then I’d guess they won’t give a fuck about activists they despise and are probably glad are far away.

Counterpoint: Hades-Garfield fan art.

I recommend that everyone consider doing this if they can. There’s essentially no downside because pension funds are shitty anyway. However, I suggest avoiding the US market as the USD has been declining sharply.

Can’t wait to see what new standards they come up with to replace usb-c

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.” Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

lol not Bluesky arbitrarily making up a rule

Actually, I’d imagine this is the calculated end state of the work. Bonding agent and black paint formed the bottom layer, I guess.

One Battle After Another is an anti-Christmas movie.

i challenge you to have a gin and juice and try to use the computer. i feel like god

No shit!

It somehow looks ever more poignant

A few moments later…

All acts of non cooperation and resistance add to the load this administration has to deal with, we need to keep piling it on. I appreciate the tribal leadership we've seen on several fronts this last decade.

If 40k content isn't viewable in the UK then that's basically half our GDP gone right there

Bluesky engineers when their website is successful

Miatta Fahnbulleh is asked about the govt giving the police more powers to restrict protests. To be clear, what the govt is doing is exploiting the synagogue attack to ban protests against the genocide they’re complicit in, & Fahnbulleh is going along with that to keep her job.

jane goodall releasing a video of her listing the people she dislikes and ending with a vague message of hope is so iconic. truly someone i aspire to model myself after

The Home Office is hiring three Lead Software Engineers with salaries of up to £86,430. The posts are understood to support the Digital ID programme.

there's the substance of the link issue, and then there's the pattern of behavior that jay was responding to -- the constant, _constant_ off topic responses that make this tedious. on the substance, it's really just that the guy didn't violate the tos. i'm sorry, that's just it
