Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

don't forget to fill out the "state of state of rust" survey: www.surveyhero.com/c/ufagxavs

"We're the best country in the world", starts this UK minister, "and we're going to reduce the reasons for people to want to come here." yes buddy UK politics has been doing great at making sure fewer people want to live there by just making the entire place more shit

“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

Religious homeschoolers, anti-vaxxers, basically all "parents rights advocates" need to be crushed with the full force of state intervention; In the same way the military had to force many cities to desegregate I think armed agents need to take these peoples kids away and they all need reeducation

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

"Capitalism sometimes involves doing things you don't personally agree with for money" isn't the massive own you seem to think it is.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

From the great novelist Sherwood Anderson, a letter to his son.

I think this is bang on, and gets at a sense of what I see in play with stuff from Dwarf Fortress and Qud to Rimworld to Crusader Kings and the Sims: a desire to understand the world, whether a familiar or an alien one, through play

Bloody hell, well played

Imagine having dedicated your life to the imperialist killing machine, and pushing yourself hard enough to elbow out all the other proto-fascists that after several decades of grueling competition, deployments, and some actual mass murder, you end up in a leading position in it.

THE MEME IS REAL

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

Social ostracisation changes thoughts and behaviour far more effectively than 'debate' btw. No epic logical argument is as effective as everyone around someone just saying 'that's fucking weird bro'.

If u see this quote with the energy u bring to blue sky

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

taking a centrist position on human civilisation (not that bad overall but britain specifically must be given to the trees)

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

So, not only is my kid's healthcare illegal for doctors to provide him in the state we live in, he can no longer be treated out of state and risks losing access to the evidence backed peer reviewed medication that has changed his life for the better because we are ruled by monsters and cowards

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.

Anti-AI activists targeted "AI Portland’s Summer Soiree," writing anti-AI graffiti, throwing paint on cars, and leaving behind these flyers declaring '“Butlerian Jihad Against AI,” a reference to the Legends of Dune prequel trilogy...depicting a war of humanity versus robots and computers."

Knitting is one of my few marketable skills as a disabled person who can't work a "real job." This isn't a side hustle, it's THE hustle and I'm way below the poverty line. I need more sales to survive.

You can't just "wish ill" upon someone. That's not allowed. You have to use your vast fortune and influence to shape public opinion and law against the millions of people upon whom you wish ill.

I wish ill on JK Rowling

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

"the left is simply too mean these days!!" meanwhile 100 years ago a pottsville woman is howling for blood in rhyme

I guess they answered “what it’s like to be a teen right now” clearly, if unintentionally

This is basically the story of modern anarchist politics Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It very literally does not make any sense to be mad at the single-digit team of people who run Itch over this. They would very much like to be able to let people sell transgressive smut, as evidenced by the fact that they allowed people to sell transgressive smut until fascists tattled to Mastercard

it is bonkers-wild that after a decade of Vagina Bones controversies and gamergate bad faith accusations, a journalist went out and exposed actual video game censorship in the genuine and harmful sense and The Article Got Pulled By The Publisher.
