If you’re calling Newsom about trans and gay bills you should also call about SB 79 bc passing that is going to help literally everyone

Responded to Chait’s take on progressives and the Democrats. Spoiler: I disagree with him

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

FYI, in this same session he hired an Antisemitism coordinator that CA schools have told him is a massive waste of money and will only empower Trump's bullshit. Anyone who believes he's playing 9th dimensional chess and not just a shithead is a moron lol www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

She went after Mitch McConnell (her opponent) for not helping Trump enact his agenda.

We've become numb to genocidal rhetoric around trans people.

Never, ever Newsom. Fuck that guy.

You might not be surprised to learn that “the left” in this is ostensibly represented by Brianna Wu, who is not on the left, and that it also includes the sage political knowledge of this man

No shit I'm furious. I spent eleven years learning to write well about complex topics in ethical ways, often for criminally low rates, because I believe that work's important. It's deeply insulting to see a total dipshit get fabulously wealthy for telling the rich what they want to hear!

I have watched my talented, ethical friends lose their jobs because Nazi fuckups like Weiss siphon all the money out of the room and use it to create propaganda mills where sycophants tell the Führer and his thugs they're so special and brave and everyone loves them

i don't think they should reopen the government. it's funny that they're already talking about figuring out how to pay the soldiery. your majesty the mercenaries are beginning to grumble about their wages but im sure it will be fine

getting my protesting advice from someone who works for the agency that killed MLK Jr.

a huge sign of overconfidence is letting Miller talk on camera. a uniquely revolting presence in an administration of sentient red flags.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

!!! Small world (of upward-failing genocide boosters)

Flying cars are the perfect example of a point solution: trying to solve a systemic problem (traffic) with an individual product (fly over the traffic). But traffic is not a technology problem; it's a social problem. Remote work, congestion fees, and dense transit-connected housing solve it better.

ASIDE FROM THE EPSTEIN STUFF

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors) Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

"I don't want my money to pay for other people's healthcare" mfs when everybody is forced to pay more money for electricity to power AI data centers:

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

Funny that the list I was put on called AI Racists is fine though. That clearly wasn’t meant to, what is it, contain harmful language, unverified claims, or shame or abuse users. Interesting. Interesting.

just don’t create a moderation list, bluesky said that’s bad

this AI crap has exactly the same vibe as Chili Discourse, a bunch of bad faith shitheads trying to make nothing into something through sheer volume I'll be doing my part by blocking every single AI advocate that crosses my path bc I simply do not care enough to sort them out

good evidence that one of my posts broke containment is on X or something

damn weiss has shooters

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

Meritocracy is a lie www.thedrawplay.com/comic/brian-...

so funny to think that jack, despite also being a tech shithead and moron, likely extended the popularity of his website for years because his class of tech shithead is "go on ayahusca trips that tell you the blockchain is good" instead of "namesearch yourself and get mad at your user's posts"

Tifa the Monk! Absolutely inspired by the outfit from Final Fantasy Tactics!

apparently this post was temporarily marked as “intolerant” lol

So… Łink’s account is permabanned from Bluesky’s appview, but also gets banned from: WhiteWind Skylight Bluescreen Flashes Basically all ATproto apps/projects? WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS PROJECT THEN?

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

Call me crazy but a platform that bans my friends and harbors my enemies is hardly what I’d call an ally.

Charmy what the fuck

Remember when these guys ran a completely fabricated story about trans kids sourced to a single bigot who worked at St Louis Children’s Hospital and it got so much traction that they ended a bunch of programs for trans kids because of all the bomb threats

Bari Weiss's first message to CBS staff as Editor-in-Chief, shared with me: "…I stand for the same core journalistic values that have defined this profession since the beginning, and I will continue to champion them alongside you…" (Staff tell me CBS would never publish stuff The Free Press has)

anyway, looking forward to bari weiss restoring “trust in news” where “trust in news” means pumping out propaganda for your oligarch boss

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

This is patently absurd. It would seem any use of Kirk's photo is now grounds for a permanent ban.

truly a Hall of Fame grift from weiss here. the frank lucas of bad faith bullshit. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...
