It took me a minute to realize that the image in the lower right is a shark chewing on a fiberoptic cable, and if I'd scrolled down to the replies I'd've seen an article about that very thing answering the question.

The thing about the government bailing out genAI when the bubble pops, is it can't. It's almost half the US stock market. It is bigger than consumer spending. The government would have to spend like half its entire budget, on something that loses billions of dollars a month, forever.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways

most of the ones I see are cartoon characters who are canonically teenagers OR YOUNGER.

your daily reminder that christians are so suggestible they became homophobic by accident

This is exactly what happened.

Just finished reading Straight by @chucktingle.bsky.social Queer culture and the danger of straights who care nothing for our safety, and fairweather allies who abandon the fight when things get tough put a very relevant spin on the classic zombie apocalypse. Would highly recommend!

Yet again, I'm don't know how to pretend I have any cultural, ethical, or religious values in common with these people. If the lesson you take from the Holocaust isn't to defend the weak, but rather that Jews are justified in anything we do because anti-semitism exists, you're just another monster.

when bluesky was in its very early days and I was making my first forays into posting a nice lady with a pig liked to talk Discworld with me all the time one day, because of what happened here, she logged off completely I started a Discworld quote thread because I missed chatting with her

Aren't those features enabled by default? I recall having to go and manually disable those features which I never asked for in the first place. Are you fucking kidding me, MS?!?!

i believe very strongly that blaming users for security failures is an ineffective approach to securing things, and I thought that this was where we were headed as an industry too. guess we're just going to throw all that out the window now though?

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces

For my newsletter, I wrote about Olivia Nuzzi and the older men who have taken advantage of her her whole life. www.burnsnotice.com/olivia-nuzzi...

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

Three hours until the appointment and we're just under $200 short Let's go, mutual aid people

The biggest problem with Warren is that his status as one of the original five makes him a constant and extremely visible *reminder* of the power creep, which never happened in-universe.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

is it deeply shocking that nigel farage is a racist antisemite?

Rather than be seen as a "pushover" for paying his staff what he OWED them, this CEO would rather be seen as an incompetent loser who can't even think for himself as he asks an LLM how to scam his employees out of their earned bonuses www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

*Literal* death threat. Not quoting song lyrics, no comedic exaggeration. Actionable threat, @safety.bsky.app. Is it in your backlog too?

Is Leftist Skincare Going Too Far?

Welcome to being a woman.

It blows my mind how many of you are still ready to embrace the most virulent conservative the very moment they say something mean about Trump, despite the abject cowardice and failure of every “Never Trumper.” Weeping, thumbing through the Joe Walsh tweets you printed off in 2018.

Do you remember that brief couple of days where it was deemed utterly unacceptable antisemitism to suggest Israel would ever attack a hospital, that then turned into a year of the media telling us Palestinian hospitals were all secret command bases actually?

remember earlier this summer when I said the fascists were building comprehensive databases that were easily searchable that were coming very quickly and I had some of the loudest white pundits on this site Say I was a doomer, a conspiracy theorist and uneducated/lying about my academic record whelp

The situation in Palestine is still an ongoing genocide. The situation in Sudan is still an ongoing genocide.

If any one of you is dumb enough to fall for her crocodile-tear-stained change of heart, you let me know and I’ll drive right over and unleash several decade’s worth of scorn right into your bland, credulous face.

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

For the love of all things holy, unholy, and mundane, shut the fuck up and lawyer the fuck up.

again I point you to 'predator trophy hunter theory.' the Yautja are mostly just Guys and the predators we see are the equivalent of guys who pay tens of thousands of dollars to go kill some poor animal in Africa.

100% this. The use of the word "biological" here is disingenuous. Until the current moral panic, sex assigned at birth (for that is what it is) was simply an annotation on a birth certificate. It has as much relevance to a trans person's adult physiology and health as their recorded birth weight.

Seriously - if any of your social media companies informs you that stuff from your accounts has been turned over in compliance with a federal grand jury subpoena, SHUT THE FUCK UP IMMEDIATELY and stay shut up until you consult an attorney. Who will also tell you to stfu, but professionally.

This is the only 2025 movie I have actually seen in 2025 so it wins my movie of the year by default (but I DID love it so I'm not too pressed)

Eku Training comm for @awastedninja.bsky.social

They will try to censor porn. They will use those rules to then censor anything and everything else 1 inch at a time. You need to support porn and you need to do it vocally. The Internet (and all other media types) you save will be your own.

This is ALL APPS, which is why we DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ON AN APP THAT CAN BE USED AGAINST US.

My brother in christ, you are literally describing All Teh Apps. All of them. Shit, even video games fall into the category of "produces information to the government when required to do so."

This whole concept is hanging me. I work in bereavement support. I have done for several years. I have training in this. I research this. Ok? This sort of concept is horrific and will hurt people. 🧵

They absolutely did NOT want to go to trial

You guys she is serious when she says this is timely. There's a deadline for these sorts of things that cannot be shifted.

The amount of ways we need to come through on this tonight is myriad Appreciated, on a nice lady's behalf
