One of the consequences of right-wing people buying up different platforms to coddle reactionaries is that, at some point, these guys find out real quick that IRL most people hate them. Blue checks on Twitter won't keep people from beating your ass if you pull this edgelord shit in public.

Things we learned from my wife being profiled by Campus Reform a few years ago: - Be careful responding to emails from people you don't know asking about your research - Don't list your office location on your university web profile page

We like to think of cassette players as the next step forward from iPhones. Instead of “apps” in your phone, which can perform limited tasks, with cassette decks, you can load “tapes”, and these have a much more sophisticated, often life-changing, depth of functionality.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

AI slobs genuinely cannot conceive the idea that creation, not the end product, is what makes it a worthy endeavor. To call this process “deeply unpleasant” is the ultimate self report

Every monday we get a deposit from our credit card processor. That didn’t happen today, and our credit card guy says it’s a Federal Reserve problem, that he has customers with multiple payment processors who didn’t get their deposits. Seems bad!

We need to start calling this an occupation. This is an occupying force. It is present without the consent of the populace or its duly elected officials, beyond the bounds of any legitimate mission. It’s also a testing ground for what this administration wants to do in Dem jurisdictions elsewhere.

people have said you should block vance because he's looking for engagement to share on twitter. the corollary there is that engaging with him is extremely unsafe. He wants to put you on blast and see if he can get his nazi followers to send you death threats. 1
