Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.

Bluesky adds private bookmarks

I'll happily sign it. I've long maintained that protocol zealotry is profoundly unhelpful in this space and I'm very grateful that you're making the point.

Stephen doesn't want to see himself as an immigrant even though he comes straight from Uranus.

The best place to get coverage of the protests in LA is from video from individuals on the scene. The totalitarian government is lying about them and the traditional media is largely unreliable — complicit or fatuously both-sidesey.

In light of recent controversy and its handling, the twice-a-year @fediforum.org unconference for April 1st and 2nd has been canceled by its organizer.

Track 21 is a vibe 🌊✨—'I Feel Like I'm Drowning' by Two Feet is moody, magnetic, and impossible to skip. 🔁 Got a track that gives you chills like this one? Send it our way! Mention @listigeplaylists.bsky.social with your Spotify link. 💌

In many cultures around the world, the guest-host relationship is practically sacred. Hospitality is a moral imperative. What happened yesterday will have shocked neutrals around the world. Such rudeness to a guest in one’s own home is unthinkable. It was barbaric behaviour.

🚨O.M.G!!! “DOGE's Edward "Big Balls" Coristine launched a privacy-focused image-sharing site in 2021 that allowed users to create custom URLs. The URLs that redirected to Coristine's site referenced the sale of child sexual abuse material, racial slurs, and rape.”😳😱 🧵(1/3)

The right keeps telling us that universal healthcare in places like Canada and the UK are awful and will lead to people dying. Meanwhile - in reality…

Sometimes I wish they would use the bones of Dragon Ball GT and re-adapt it within the Super timeline to take place after Super. Even if they switched up who went on the adventures, I'd be fine if it was Goten instead of Goku or something. I'd be down for like a GT Brotherhood or something. #anime

I was one of those millions of school kids who saved dimes to give to the March of Dimes to fund Salk’s research developing a polio vaccine. #VaccinesSaveLives

Bluesky crossed 25M users.

Meta trying to copy Bluesky again 🤣

Did you know?: Africa possesses approximately 40% of the world's gold reserves and up to 90% of global chromium and platinum resources. It holds 65 per cent of the world's arable land and ten percent of the planet's internal renewable fresh water source. #opCanary

Pete Hegseth has also promised that if confirmed he will stop sexually assaulting women. At Fox News where he works this is called a noncompete agreement

Yes. The AG shouldn’t be under investigation by the DOJ. The Director of National Intelligence shouldn’t be on a TSA watch list. The HHS Secretary shouldn’t be an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. The Secretary of Education shouldn’t have a history of allowing men to abuse children. 🤷‍♂️

None of these things matter if Dems can't figure out how to communicate better.

2) Trump's base wants him to arrest A LOT of enemies right now. But a goodly number of their desired targets will make fairly compelling martyrs around which to form a resistance.

But other things, like the tariffs, will be like his China trade war: bad policies that you cannot do well.

Two points about Trump's admin. 1) There's a different between being incompetent and competently pursuing bad policies that will have detrimental effects. Mass deportation will get caught up on BOTH: it's hard to deport efficiently, BUT ALSO, it will drive up food and housing costs.

I've had some time to process and just did this video on several things that went horribly wrong - including being lied to about President Biden's cognitive issues (might be unpopular, but it's sadly true). I don't mince words here, but would love your feedback. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUJV...

In the midst of all the other WTF, who the hell are the millions of people in California who voted *against* ending slavery and indentured servitude?

Racist shithead gonna racist shithead.

Lol. Apparently the original ExTwitter Premium fire sale didn't churn up enough suckers, so gotta keep trying (and increase the "discount").

🇪🇺 Is #EU doing enough to protect #HealthData from #AI powered #BigTech? “Data justice is social justice” “Advocacy groups including @amnestyuk.bsky.social & @cendemtech.bsky.social have already called out the fundamental flaws in these new [EU] regulations” www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/e...

Just so everyone knows, the "mass deportations will bring down high housing costs" is a soft eugenics argument that comes directly from the Tanton network. It's an old chestnut of theirs, just like saying that undocumented people take care away from veterans. It's all bullshit

As the open social web movement grows, a new nonprofit launches to expand the ‘fediverse’ techcrunch.com/2024/...

why are people still associating Jack Dorsey with Bluesky lmao he fucked off forever ago now and had never been the Leader to begin with

Att ett så bottenlöst uselt politiskt förslag som Chat control aldrig dör säger mycket om hur politik funkar. www.dn.se/ledare/total...

The annual report from the chief inspector of prisons is utterly dire. One of the worst examples of state failure.

Labelers are a really unique and underexplored part of Bluesky/ATproto. Hoping more people start making use of the power of labelers to continue to make the Bluesky experience better.

A bunch of people have been asking me about the 3rd Circuit's ruling against TikTok over the "blackout challenge," and I think it's one of the most obviously *wrong* appeals court rulings I've seen in a long, long time. www.techdirt.com/2024/08/29/t...

Imane Khelif is the people’s champion.

If someone really did launch a DDOS attack on X I hope they had the class to just spam the word “cis” at it a few trillion times

Very stable genius

Schumer plans to have a floor vote on the very, very problematic KOSA bill (and COPPA 2.0) this week... The bill is very problematic. Not as problematic as it was originally... but still extremely problematic, especially if Trump wins the election, as it's his FTC that will enforce...

oh wtf, the 1000 cranes sculpture was stolen from UD bridge? messed up. is there a fundraiser or effort to replace it?

I'm going to keep beating this drum: just expand the court to 70 to 100 Justices or so so that NO SINGLE JUSTICE matters that much. That's it. That's the plan.

We're this far into this and reporters *still* haven't figured out that the lies people like Vance tell to justify their attacks on anyone they deem insufficiently MAGA are not sincere.

Oooh. Look what I've got. @kateconger.bsky.social @rmac.bsky.social

Nice of them to turn down the rhetoric in these divisive times.

Told my therapist I’m learning the difference between “consumers”, “community”, and “consumer communities”. Can’t treat everyone like community. Not everyone wants to be. Not everyone knows how to be.

As a reminder... this rule is terrible, but, um, I think it applies here?

Writing about decentralised social networks for the last year and a half has warped my brain so thoroughly that this my first instinct on hearing news about trump being guilty lmao
