DYING. Jason just showed me this (this guy is the speaking voice for Abby Saja). youtu.be/lxrCyqXzHI8

The inflatable frog has gone global. Today’s #NoKings #NoTyrants rallies in Japan, Australia, Spain, and Germany.

My favorite part about this is the camera work. Absolutely no idea where the ball is, like a guy with a flip phone trying to take a picture of Mars.

one thing about "big" right wing accounts joining over here is that it quickly becomes apparent they have no idea how to function online without a built in army of incel followers they can sic on people to harass

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.

If you screenshot US govt accounts to malign them, I'll still mute or block you. I don't want to see any of their propaganda even if you're dunking on them.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith which is a dangerous assumption tbh

Dont quote them don't screenshot their posts.

Blockity block block block

Here’s a general MAGA blocklist that I’ve been using for years. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Weirdly fun to block the White House

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Why Indiana Jones is still a favorite movie of mine.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

just go to the protests take whatever precautions you personally feel comfortable with but these are massive, joyful events, go and have fun

South Korea pushed AI hard in schools. The national program was aborted within months, following massive pushback from students, parents and teachers, after a fortune had already been spent by both the government and education publishers restofworld.org/2025/south-k...

What are you reading? I have a suggestion...or two.

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

People think there are no Roman history emergencies, right up to the day a sitting president proposes a triumphal arch. Now suddenly everyone needs a good handle on Titus and Constantine.

losing my mind at “paper-based”. Do you mean fucking paper

Read this thread. Then unfollow the discussed panic grift.

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

Windows 10 End of Life is in less than 2 weeks! But you don't have to upgrade to Windows 11!! This video will show you how to extend the life of Windows 10 by 3 more years via Extended Security Updates program safely, for free. MS throws you to the wolves, but the wolves will throw you a bone.

There’s a lot to be upset about, and I don’t advise putting your head in the sand, but it is really bad for your brain to be mad all the time on a purely physiological level. If you possibly can, take time to put down the mad. It will help you think more clearly and remember why you’re doing this.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

I know one of the lawyers working to get Emmanuel back to his mom, who was deported to Venezuela without him. I've donated, and if anyone has extra to spare, this is a family reunification we can make happen. ❤️ Reshares welcome! gofund.me/9f3df90d7

Lina’s a beloved member of our romance community, and she could use some support in this devastating and difficult time. Please contribute if you can or boost the link.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

It’s with a heavy heart that I say Old Dude has passed away. Would you please help me pay for his burial I updated info. Thank you. gofund.me/ca9e5e85f paypal.me/LinasMusings

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools Be better than that

Pre feast table setup, using up my summer paper plates 😄 #HappyCanadianThanksgiving

I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt. This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.

Joyeuse Action de grâce à tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt: “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist." www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

so Google just added a bunch (more) AI bullshit to Chrome Go through these steps to disable it: opus.ing/posts/how-to... #chrome #aibullshit

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it
