Yep...

My prediction is that in a year the value of SpaceX is down 90% Buying SpaceX is more useless than setting your money on fire. At least then you could make a nice fire.

"[Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-New York) and Rep. Adam Gray (D-California)] are launching a pledge for their party's candidates they hope will act as a rallying cry for centrists ... The pledge is a direct rebuke to the party's leftward tilt[.]" Suozzi must go.

i'm a broken record but watching this backslide has been disheartening, but also incredibly embarrassing; the right's propaganda push folds under the lightest of scrutiny, and yet we're here

New research examines Waymo's California robotaxi trips btw Aug 2023 and Dec 2025. Conclusion: 46% of miles driven involved no one inside the car. That's 40 million miles of deadheading, with Waymo vehicles using road space w/o transporting a human. doi.org/10.32866/001...

cant stop thinking about my dude’s shirt at the open mic

Free newsletter: The dawn of token-based-billing has shown that generative AI doesn’t have a return on investment. It's too unpredictable, too unreliable, you can't easily measure the cost of tasks, and organizations are already pulling back. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-doesnt-have-roi/

Either some AI slop company and/or white dude(s) has stolen the work of black/native farmer, Chris Newman of Blackbird Co-op (www.blackbirdcoop.com), who wrote the original book First Generation Farming. The copy linked below is stolen. Please report it and share. 🔻🔻🔻STOLEN WORK🔻🔻🔻

Lol even this blinking warning sign won't be enough to shake people loose. They will stand ten toes down on business and tell you they found a use for it. Cool. We love to be scammed don't we

I’ve got a big gay dinosaur book coming out this fall! Pre-orders make all the difference, so please do ask your favorite bookshop and library for Tyrant Lizard Queen. You’re going to love Snaggletooth. 🦖

Mmm, salty AI tears.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

Even if God isn't mentioned, the cultural imprint of wealth as salvation means that, for many on the right, consciously or not, challenging the wealthy equals challenging God. In America the rich are treated like prophets. And the wealthy themselves, consciously or not, often buy into that belief.

Just watched the Taco Bell CEO talk about how excited he was “for the storytelling opportunity” around their chicken nuggets. Just insane bullshit but it’s also its own orthodoxy. The corporate class is a secular priesthood and to witness their madness is to know this is something to actively oppose

I cannot possibly stress the accuracy of this enough. As soon as you try to have a normal conversation with them, the mythos immediately disappears and can never be fully recovered.

Yes, they were pressuring me to take financial responsibility for the billing. However, even as a teen I had been witness to this with many friends ...and so had learned well you sign NOTHING but NOTHING and their veiled threats are all bullshit, they have to treat people.

Are we finally ready to talk about how terfs have been helping the far right destroy women’s rights by pushing hyper femininity yet or is it too early for this decades old information too.

On this: I’m a tall Brown woman with a strong jawline. A whole white woman accused me of being a man in a public toilet the other day. I didn’t correct her because my being trans or cis was not the point. The point was she felt entirely comfortable and confident doing that to someone in a TOILET.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Outside Delaney Hall today.

Crony Capitalism is just Capitalism, that's how Capitalism works. You call it Crony Capitalism to support the fantasy that there's a magical "true" capitalism that doesn't murder and exploit people as a load bearing structural feature but Nope! This is it! This is the Capitalism!

Absolutely fuck the NYT, but read this thread. This is an exceptional thread. Exceptional ✨️

I’m too tired to stay up and wait for the midnight sun, but here is the 11 pm sun in Reykjavík

You can't select and copy text from the alt text anymore?????? Arghhhh!!!!!! @bsky.app what the fuck!!!!!! That was literally one of the most useful features on the site, which made it really easy to c&p and re-use alt text, but what, now I have to write the alt text each time??? Fuck! You!!!!!

This post isnt adult content. It exemplifies the fundamental fault of this label and how it's being applied.

The anals of America

THREAD. In Jan 2018 I was living in a remote spot in the Peak District & writing a collection of spooky stories. In viciously cold weather I went walking on high moorland & stumbled across these two inosculated Sycamores. "That looks like a man with branch hands, raging at an unfair sky," I thought.

Cross their threshold at your own peril, mortal creature.

The new bluesky account wide adult content label thing is horrendous, indiscriminately hiding all posts from a person just bc they've posted adult content - they need to reverse this so badly

😌

I think people really underestimate the degree to which Democrats are enthusiastic participants in the police state, and have been active proponents of the constant intensification and expansion of police forces for literally longer than I have been alive.

like i keep saying

“Many people want to know why, out of the entire white segment of society, we want to criticize the liberals. We have to criticize them because they represent the liaison between both groups, between the oppressed and the oppressor.

After the police tear-gas people, the mayor announces a curfew for their "safety and well-being." In fact, the curfew will only empower the police to attack people more freely. Democratic politicians are doing Trump's dirty work—while the captives of ICE remain on hunger strike in Delaney Hall.

Probably 70% of the “we need younger leaders” stuff is more about getting rid of people who suck and 30% of it is about how old anyone is, the sucking is really the issue in alot of ways

look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

Cops busting through a barricade that they set up is pretty tough to misinterpret.

You'd think this was satire, but you'd be wrong. This is a live reading of every shitlib's inner monologue.

If I hear another f--ng interview about how the long run learning loss which started pre-covid (esp in reading) is probably caused by social media and failure to implement Science of Reading, while totally ignoring the post-recession great disinvestment - for which we already have causal evidence...

these insatiable war criminals are engaged in systematic land theft & ethnic cleansing, AGAIN, and no power appears willing to do anything about it. israel knows that its endless aggression is inherently incompatible with its bullying demands that hezbollah disarm; they hope to spark a civil war. 🤬🖕🏽

These are not leftists. They willingly compromise themselves and their principles the moment a (sad) shot at power comes. Theyll sacrifice all of us too. Alt text of the image is a skeet from Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk that says "Platner could've sexted my mom and I'd still vote for him"

Lol 🫠 Fuck this idiot. Write in Andrea LaFlamme instead. bsky.app/profile/andr...

For people new to my non-fiction, I've made this extract from my book Ring The Hill - which is about some special cats and a very unique place where I used to live in a rented cottage - free to read: www.tom-cox.com/the-lion-the...

"Progressive" local governments will hire hyper-conservative city attorneys to have an excuse generator for why they "can't" do anything except the bidding of the gentry and authoritarian police state bs. In reality it's because they also want it that way, just with better pr.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1
