I’ll stop treating AI enthusiasts as subhuman when they stop willfully dehumanizing themselves by using AI.

It’s good that they list the extension because with gargoyles there’s no time to wait for an operator

I came of political age hating the Bush guys and now I have to get in the trenches with them against the guy from the apprentice I would like to file several complaints

This is precisely the problem, the refusal by centrist elites to differentiate between challenging ideas and debunked lies. It's not "challenging" to hear that black people are stupid or gay people are degenerates, it's just wrong.

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu now this is something that would be really useful. A way to view the quote posts from an original post.

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu one thing the official app has which I can't find in Skywalker is "hide post for me". Appears to be local to the app per GitHub bug report.

Honoring democracy means eschewing terror as a political tool, but it also means taking people’s words and ideas seriously as a reflection of their goals and personal character.

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff Everyone: oh, like what? Every centrist hagiographer: very important things Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said? Every centrist hagiographer, looking at their legal department frantically shaking their heads: no

As lefty pundits insist that Dems should not attempt any bipartisanship, Dems, entering in partnership with GOPers, have started this legislative push the same way they ended in July: Dealing Mike Johnson an embarrassing defeat.

Ezra's little post not only doesn't START from the Q, how do you combat fascism, but he gets a lot of details wrong. Start w/how you defeat fascism: 1) Peel off 8 House or 4 Senators 2) Get 3.5% of US people in the streets 3) Rescue GOP from collapse 4) Win a free and fair election in 2026

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

More news breaking at Bounces about Donald Trump's visit to the US Open men's final. The US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, obtained by Bounces, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump's appearance. Read more here: www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-do...

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Those "tree man gets paid" t-shirts are going to do numbers.

mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.

Our new project is live. A group of us former Polygon folks have come together to build something new: Rogue. We're a worker-owned, reader supported gaming site. You can read all about our goals and ideas on our (gorgeous) website. Please check us out and share us with your friends!

Well this certainly seems like a fucking disaster.

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu what are your thoughts on an option to copy/share human friendly bluesky links. I'm personally team uid but I've had a couple people mention to me that they'd prefer getting links that include the username instead of the uid

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu another small bug but this one should be easy. A thread that starts with a large emoji also makes the thread icon big.

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu noticed that in the latest build, when I click on a post to view the thread, it now displays a couple pages down into the replies to the thread. I'd prefer it to either start at the post i clicked on or on the post in the thread immediately below what I clicked.

Just cannot get these goddamn llamas to mind.

Just to add to the chorus in my own voice, the banning of @scumbelievable.bsky.social is a travesty. Gretchen Felker-Martin is an acclaimed author and critic whose only seeming violation has been posting fundraisers for people starving to death in Gaza. Return her to the platform now.

Or you could just use the bookmark feature in @skywalker.thereforeiam.eu instead of this hacktastic alternate. BlueSky has generally been very good with adding things that improve the UX. This ain't that though.

A raku fired wolf sculpture! One of only a couple sculptures in this update that isn’t wall mounted. The geometric patterns were painted on with underglaze and then the piece was covered in a clear crackle glaze. This piece and more will be available tomorrow, July 25th at 8pm Eastern time!

This is a @johnhollinger.bsky.social crowd chant joke post but they actually made it into a shirt. Amazing.

Propaganda: trans women are going to assault you in the ladies’ room Reality: Drunk armed border patrol agents are going to assault you in the ladies’ room

He has refused his Assent to Laws… For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world… For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury… For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences… A Tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Yes, this is bad for porn. But porn famously has no clear legal definition. As such: This is a direct path to censoring anything the GOP wants to censor and can argue is “adult” - info on birth control, queer identity, anything about trans people or gender diversity or safe sex or HIV or drag or

Tapping the sign again.

People online will really be like “you believe in having principles? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, conceding every principle to build a winning coalition” and then not build a winning coalition

A buried American P-38 fighter plane has resurfaced on a Welsh beach, sixty-five years after crashing there.

The United States built the largest and most successful research and higher education system in the world and it produced medical miracles and scientific marvels; it is one of the defining 'wonders' of our society. Trump and MAGA are attempting the American equivalent of bulldozing the Pyramids.

The American university system, which I must note again and again, consists in the main of public state systems, not of the elite privates, is the envy of the world and one of the wonders of American 'civilization,' if you will permit the term. Destroying it out of pique is insane.

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu some interesting cropping on the bottom of the inner border corners here. Completely non functional issue

Very excited to try this out

@skywalker.thereforeiam.eu some posts seem to have the share and copy text options disabled.
