Can’t emphasize enough that new studies like this come out ALL THE TIME but are usually ignored by basically everyone, including the media & the medical establishment. It’s bananas. #COVID

It's too long a story to explain how I know this, but I once found out that the FBI made challenge coins about how they tried to force Apple to break iPhone encryption. Challenge coins celebrating shitty behavior is deeply a part of FBI culture.

I think this is a good thread.

I’m knitting in a waiting room and another woman is crocheting and now I feel like we’re in a race.

But I'm also on Masto so hey: mastodon.gamedev.place/@glassbottom... I'm good with either, both, whatever

Okay I’m starting to get on board the Kat train. She’s very good at getting attention and using it to say things loudly, which is going to be an essential part of any real drive to dig ourselves out of this.

If you're confused about exactly how decentralised/decentralisable Bluesky is and what that means, here's a great not-too-long-or-intense article about it (it's not decentralised) azhdarchid.com/delusions-of...

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

increasingly convinced preventing americans from getting their little packages is the thing that will take this government down

Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico, is a US citizen. It’s far past time that everyone realized that what is happening has nothing to do with immigration status and is just gutter racism

I wonder how much of the financial underpinnings of the AI boom are entirely based on the fact Microsoft and Google did stuff like this with their legacy products to aggressive juice the number of users of their AI products

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol. Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

I'd close by saying it's weird, to see this kinda childish, contemptuous behavior from orgs like Bluesky or Tangled who you'd think want to attract users to their sites. But Jay doesn't really…seem to want you on this site. She seems to want the queers to go away without her having to make us leave.

there's no such thing as non-toxic discourse when there are nazis seated amongst us. we can have the civility conversation later AFTER the nazis are kicked out.

The sad thing about the owners' contempt towards the userbase is that Bluesky is genuinely a far better Twitter alternative, from a user experience the lack of an algorithm that only seemed to push conflict and suppress people I was following is a staggering difference. You got a good thing here!

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

this is true. it's also true for all cops, and has been for a very, very, very long time. I don't think we can meet the moment without acknowledging that videos of cops/agents hurting people are essentially recruitment tactics for the people they want to hire more of

Hey @jay.bsky.team - I am an early user, early enough that being one of the few posters you followed me... I really appreciate the service and I think when crisis has happened before you have ended in a good place but... these? You aren't just replying to that one person, but everyone on here.

“It’s troubling that companies are making a product that by design is taking biometric information from people who are doing the innocent act of walking onto a porch,” EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @WashingtonPost.com. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/...

Tonight on APTN National News: AFN national chief says she plans to press hate crime charges against the leader of the People’s Party of Canada. A chief says issues within his Nation's CFS agency are creating safety risks for the children.

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

A big victory for Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team.

Did you see the person turning this set into a functioning GameBoy? They’re gonna eventually make the parts available for purchase on their blog/store: blog.nataliethenerd.com/i-turned-the...

oh my god cancel all my friday evening plans for today

exact same for me. Fetterman *simply was not like this as Lt Gov,* there was no grand conspiracy to knife his constituents, what happened was a stroke

i feel like the bluesky team, or at least maybe jay in particular, has an attitude that everyone hates them forever irredeemably even though most people i've spoken to about this are disappointed, upset, and bewildered, with a strong sentiment that we'd just like them to stop fucking around already.

This movie is so fucking fun. It knows EXACTLY what it is and sells it perfectly in its opening crawl. On the night of the last super moon, 1B people turned into werewolves. Tonight is the next Supermoon. 94 minutes of Frank Grillo vs Werewolves. A pure Drive In style good time monster movie.

I called and they gave me a spot down the street to go sit for the next hour. Super easy.

Solidarity with striking postal workers!

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

The Manitoba government announced it is investing in a 24/7 low barrier emergency safe space for Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people. The $3.5-million investment will go toward an eight bed facility.

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder. I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

Speaking for all physicians and healthcare providers here. When we see patients in need of care especially in an emergency room we do not leave them for dead. We do not care about their immigration status, we treat them because that is what we took an oath to do and is also basic human decency.

Famous words of many Nobel Peace Prize winners.

slathering tiger balm across my entire body every morning like a warrior preparing for battle

Caves of Qud after its first 7 years of development.

i have a discord and i have a forum and occasionally the people on the discord take it to the forum and man, mfs really talk different on a forum lmao

“Thank you for working without pay” said I to the dozen or so TSA agents I encountered in my travels these past few days. “We love it” said one, darkly.

Student journalist Lucas Griffith faces trial today for covering a protest against the deportation of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Lucas did nothing wrong. This is a big deal and would be national news in normal times.

These are American citizens Why the fuck are all of you not angrier right now?

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

It's easier than ever to make a game, too, but it's never been harder to get paid for it. And that means you're mostly going to get no-budget, short-cycle, amateur-skill games from the narrow demographic band that can afford to make them in their free time. IDEK about movies. Tiktok I guess?

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime. With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money. We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off. Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

Martha Stewart must be losing her frickin’ mind over this.

Hey London folks: come join me for this next week! It’s going to be a great night! wegottickets.com/event/676292
