Catholics either. Id be RICH if I had a dollar for how many times those dumb sons of bitches asked me if I believed in Jesus when I said I grew up Catholic

So. . .whatever happened to this?

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

Aight. Rednote is legit on Mandarin, so I can't get into it. FanBase account is set up. I suspect TikTok sold out to Meta, & honestly, I'm sick of this. America is really a "where my hug at" ass bum that stay in his Mama basement, faking like he got bank, driving his BM's car. Just FRAUDULENT. 😮‍💨

Now I have to go to bed on time and read all the books I haven't touched and watch all the shows and movies that have been waiting in the watch next queue on everything 😭

The amount of misinformation/fake news the older generation I am in close proximity to picks up off from Facebook is fucking crazy.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Welp. They didn’t even wait till midnight both TikTok and Lemon8 are down in the U.S. (and folks are having trouble with CapCut too). I bet Trump will turn it all back on on Mon and expect us to thank him *sigh*

They will not remember. They will hold on to that , the same way they thought that idiot gave them $1200

If this man rolled into town to fight some monsters on our behalf, I would simply pack up my family and leave. All respect to this baby-faced gentleman who seems to have gone prematurely grey, but we were really hoping to have a Witcher show up, sir. Good luck on your adventures.

turns out making your stores hostile to customers to in order to solve a problem that doesn't exist outside of culture-war hysteria is ... bad?

They wouldn’t.

Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS. The letter states: “RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.” 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

Pasadena Humane has seen an influx of over 300 animals due to the fires. People lined up down the block to drop off beloved pets they could not take with them when they fled their homes. Some animals arrived with burns and injuries and are being treated. Donations and fosters are needed NOW.

I mean that’s literally what Facebook started out as, because that’s what the Harvard freshman Facebook was. They just digitized the experience.

I often show this video in class, and students routinely have a lot to say in response. Opens up a discussion about the linkages between structural racism, mass incarceration, labor exploitation, and climate change, among other things. youtu.be/XM5voSl6eWA?...

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

Creators, don’t stop pitching queer content to editors, producers, etc. because you’re afraid it’s going to be stifled going forward. That just helps the bad guys. Don’t pre-censor yourself or the industry you’re in!

The billionaires got scared because people online noticed they’re taking over the world. So in response the billionaires will silence all those people talking about them online so they can more easily take over the world.

the entire "pivot to video" strategy that destroyed many of the sites you used to love was based on Facebook lying about video metrics, convincing everyone that was the only way their content was getting shared they half-heartedly "apologized" for this years later, leaving burning wreckage behind
