Welcome to America

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I don't think the Cheetos brand will ever recover

Everyone's gonna be so tired tomorrow

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

Apparently someone made a fucking Umineko video featuring Giant Bomb

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

It's (Goblin) Mage Monday!

Bari Weiss is to journalism what mustard is to cream soda.

"Why do you think the Linux move will actually happen this time?" It won't, but it will be MUCH larger when the dust settles than ever before. A thread 🧵

This is a lists of people to follow, actually

Don't let anyone tell you that you need to be good at your job to see massive financial and reputational reward.

longtime journalists listening to the bari weis first day address

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

I'm gonna get so drunk when the bubble bursts. Tech fucks can eat my ass.

We *don't* need a Lowtax of the left, actually

The Ivalice Chronicles on tactician feels like playing the game for the first time back in middle school. All those same roadblocks and struggle sessioms are back and it feels great to beat them again

so obviously sites are only good if mods fear the posters. like that's a given, right? they can silence us but they can't kill our worms and they're jealous of the worms. but silencing people who are adequately calling them on their shit and not taking it on the chin is loser behavior

wizard frog is insane

asking every bug I see “are you Silksong?”

People, and even some of the press, are no longer buying the mythmaking, and tech writ large can’t handle it. They had grown accustomed to low interest rates, bipartisan support and almost universal social admiration. But all of that is gone. And it has utterly broken them all.

link got banned that’s some bullshit

Accepting every MAGA premise on “immigration” has moral costs, but assuming they’re all Savvy Trolly Problem Knowers, they should at least acknowledge it has **political downsides as well**. That it alienates many and makes counter messaging impossible because you look like total phony hypocrites.

This slurs for AI discourse is completely synthetic it's being pushed by tech fascists to influence leftist discourse they are dragging people from their homes in the dead of night that's what's really going on here that's the real fucking threat, focus on THAT Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Digimon evolution design sense almost always boils down to “I an become A) the cutest lil’ war crime machine you will have ever seen in all your life B) the most eldritch abomination War crime machine you can possibly think of C) sexy religious fetish figures with bolts & chains or D) furry bait.

i find this particular form of political messaging just infuriating. we are the people currently doing this. it's literally who we are.

The actual post is still available in the repo. Normally, when a post is deleted, it's removed outright with no way to get it back. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc... It doesn't appear in the timeline feed or the post thread API. They may be actively blocking it in the most stupid way possible, lol.

“don’t be bigoted towards AI.” your AI data centers are poisoning Black communities as we speak, please get some fucking perspective. jesus christ

"OH BUT WHAT IF THE COMPUTER HAD FEELINGS" YEAH WELL WHAT IF PAVEMENT HAD FEELINGS WHAT IF A JELLO PUDDING CUP HAD FEELINGS THEY'RE ALL EXACTLY AS LIKELY TO HAPPEN.

aww man they’re dirty little freaks

im fucking down on my knees begging: please stop anthropomorphizing LLMs

new kinda guy just dropped

once me and some friends were wasted at perkins on halloween and saw an old man angrily approach a couple doing a zombie hitler and eva braun costume to say “Adolf wasn’t smiling when I pulled the trigger in Berlin” which, aside from being a cool thing to say, has also always made me kind of wonder

These people were enslaved as laborers for a call center soliciting church donations in case you’re wondering the exact level of where we went wrong as a human species

Went to a party hosted by an absolute icon

None of this seems good for our country

You're allowed to keep thinking after you have your first thought. You're allowed to do that.

Starting to think a lot of people on the computer are not okay

“Hating a computer program is racism” is such a funny belief to talk yourself into.

It's cool that someone can just send you mail falsely claiming to be your mortgage company with big "FINAL NOTICE" in bold font visible through the envelope and that it's just okay and legal.

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece just incredible @katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???

Technomancers of the dead internet, is this anything?
