No. And this is part of the problem. Bc many of you still think his tenure is an aberration, when it is actually the culmination of a decades long undoing of democracy and decency. It’s not an anomaly - it is a manifestation.

And I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but what got us here is hierarchy Children are at the lowest points in our social order, and thus, the most vulnerable

Today, Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood even though a state panel recommended his life is spared

Nine NFL players under 48 have died this year. NINE. And twenty under the age of 65. I'm looking into it for a longer article. But I'm taking to bluesky to say that I cannot believe - or maybe its just too easy to believe - that in our NFL obsessed sports media culture, this is not a bigger story.

What I know is there are still great journalists - even at elite media outlets - who are doing good work. Adopting a knee-jerk cynicism about all they do abandons those journalists. And it's lazy. And it plays into hands of authoritarians who WANT people to distrust all fact-based journalism.

Done. Made it a progression run of sorts and pushed myself just a little longer. It feels nice to feel blood flow through my tired brain. My body will thank me after a shower, snack and sleep. 🙂‍↕️ Oh, and I no longer have a slightly oily face after my runs. Dang, low-dose Accutane is strong.

Walking for a bit before I try a jog. I know my cardiovascular strength is high because speedwalking is so easy rn.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

Whenever you see videos captioned like this, or weirdly zoomed in, please keep this in mind.

OpenAI's Sora video generator places 3 watermarks on its AI generated videos: the top-left or top-right corner, the center-right, and the bottom-left corner. Each of these Facebook videos has 3 caption overlays which just happen to be placed in these 3 locations.

LITERALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do we need files when we have VICTIMS!!!!! The only way you will believe them is what???? You need to hear it from the perp?

Bot network has unfollowed more than 500 accounts at a time, and changed handles to make them look legit. Funny, they badly changed the names in the About section of their site. Me:

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

Glad to have found this deal. The glasses are pure quality. Would’ve ordered something similar from overseas, but de minimis. Passing it on. martie.com/products/cen...

No, seriously, yes.

Only ppl be saying that is white ppl cuz everything is a partisan issue to them. Not us. We know all yall are evil sickos, party be damned! 😭 SEND EM ALL TO THE CITY SQUARE!

Wake up, babe, new golden calf just dropped.

I’ll be chatting with Adam Shatz on Friday @cunyenglish.bsky.social about his comprehensive biography of Fanon, specifically his continuing influence on Black radical thought. Come through if you’re in NYC.

this all i got but I'M OUCHEAAAAA

From “I’m speaking” to “Yeah, y’all were onto something” 😂. Wonder what brought on this change of heart.

Y'all about to get sick of me.

ultimate = last in a series penultimate = second-to-last in a series antepenultimate = third-to-last in a series preantepenultimate = fourth-to-last in a series propreantepenultimate = fifth-to-last in a series

I’ve been tailoring my social media engagement to this assumption for a decade. I used to say it, plainly, on Twitter: “you cannot read well.” People bugged out on me but what am I supposed to do if the medium is text and you’re angry because you misread? I cannot take that seriously. Godspeed.

Age yourself with gaming

I take this as confirmation that all moderation is being done by AI, and that the folks that run this app are obfuscating that by making nonsense excuses when it massively screws up. You need to have zero cultural knowledge to suspend someone over an obvious reference like this.

Kendzior has such a self-selected cadre of conspiracy minded followers they are in the replies insisting this is a lie . . . which, sure. Maybe? But, ask yourself who would have more at stake (legally) by going on record with a lie about this?

Amazing how many criminals get together and decide the first order of business is emailing each other about the crimes every three minutes

Exactly like you think I’m supposed to be ashamed???

What you can't see are the small white rabbits that were with me along the shore, all of us quietly watching the eastern sky. Jupiter rising over Woodruff Narrows Reservoir, Wyoming

based on the replies and quotes since last night, fine. yes. just giving the people what they want.

Older people who‘ve never done it, yes.

If you not sweating in a coal mine, you not working *to them*.

Matter of fact … it’s an excellent time to practice getting lost in your own imagination.

emoji filenames are stupid and asking for trouble, but this is also just adding support to handle files people were already naming with emojis on other systems that already support it - and the same function better supports languages that use different character sets as well.

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

This labeler is great: @stechlab-labels.bsky.social it labels some signals that can be associated with inauthentic / automated activity. Although the accounts I see with these labels are usually media outlets/news accounts (not the aggressive unfollowing-that’s a growth hack)

I took this measurement again because I was so annoyed. Ok, now it makes sense. I was like, HOW?!

Measured myself to see if I could purchase any wireless bras in the future. I‘ve apparently lost enough inches in the underbust to qualify as a new size not usually found in size charts. Look, I will just stick to available sister sizes. Not my fault that I now have a smaller band!
