Most autistic people I meet *like* being autistic. It’s core to who they are & comes with many strengths What’s hard is surviving in a society that rarely accommodates, respects or tries to understand us There’s a BIG difference between being autistic & being unsupported Let’s not confuse the two

It’s pronounced cyclist.

Rock Band 4 is being de-listed from the PlayStation and Xbox stores on October 5 when the 10-year license expires. DLC will be de-listed whenever it hits the 10-year mark.

Australia's eSafety Commissioner is expanding its list of platforms that may be subject to the Social Media Ban for Under 16s to include both Twitch and Kick. The updated list also includes Pinterest, Lego Play, Steam, WhatsApp, and others. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The so-called TikTok ban “has only resulted in turning over the platform to the allies of a president who seems to have no respect for the First Amendment,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told the @washingtonpost.com.

If you’d like to voice your opinion, you can call Sinclair Broadcasting Group at 410-568-1500. Since Sinclair’s revenue comes from TV ads, the strongest way to hit their bottom line

If a station is owned by the Sinclair group, they won’t be airing Jimmy Kimmel. Sinclair is demanding that he issue a direct apology to the Kirk family and even make a donation to them and Turning Point USA. Lol, why on earth would he do that?

I love you 💜 Yes you

I will break the rules of this account and speak personally as an admin. I'm in my 70s. I'm a hacker. My family defected from Romania to the Netherlands. They left me behind. There was no legal way to get out. My parents fled the country, and left me behind, to escape. They received amnesty. [1/9]

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

YouTube is expanding Collaborations globally over the next couple of weeks. This tool allows you to showcase up to five creators who collaborated on a video, and may be shown to all of your audiences for increased discovery.

YouTube is expanding Likeness Detection. "We’re expanding our likeness protection tech to all YPP creators in an open beta. A new likeness detection feature will help you detect, manage, and request removal of unauthorized videos made with AI using your facial likeness."

I love you 💜 Yes you

So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:

Chicago roads are looking pretty icy, might be time for some salt. Strange for September, but you can never be too prepared.

CARN PIES!!! 🖤🤍

"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy. It’s more than policy, though. It’s woven into the fabric of this country since its inception." Read our latest op-ed from @thetattooedjew.com ⤵️

The easiest way to DESTROY unions in America is to dramatically change who is counted as an “employee.” You can’t unionize “contractors.” So…if you make all the truck drivers contractors, no more Teamsters. If you make all the linemen and electricians contractors, no more IBEW. You get the point

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

The Trump admin just asked the Supreme Court to let NIH cancel $783M in diversity-related research grants, after a federal judge ruled the cuts illegal and discriminatory.

Between this and Trump attempting to bring coal power back from the dead, looks like we really are re-running the Gilded Age.

Cruelty doesn’t seem like a byproduct, it’s the goal. The Trump administration is set to destroy $9.7 million worth of contraceptives instead of sending them to women in need overseas.

The Trump administration has officially shut down the IRS’s Direct File program, a pilot initiative that allowed Americans to file their federal taxes online for free, directly through the IRS.

We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

New documentation suggests Twitch has added two new functions when you Block someone. Blocking now prevents them from seeing your channel in recommendations and prevents them from subscribing to your channel.

A DOGE staffer has assumed control over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an agency traditionally independent from direct White House authority. Adam Blake, now serving as the DOGE-appointed lead at the NRC, has been tasked with carrying out directives from Trump.

This is what the techbros & AI enthusiasts don't get and could never understand. It's often not the end result that's the most important thing. It's the work involved, it's the creative process, those are the aspects that matter. In art and in education.

Like Peter Thiel running to New Zealand after completely fucking America.

Quick reminder: The whole idea of trickle-down economics came from conservatives in the 1980s as a way to defend slashing taxes for the rich and big businesses. The results? Pretty disastrous.

As the years rot sweetly away, one truth grows ever clearer… Poison Ivy was always right

Those men became millionaires through business. They became billionaires through antitrust violations and regulatory capture. Wild that a “government accountability journalist” doesn’t know the difference.

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

I’m awake! So what’s gone wrong in the world today?

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Done? Oh sweet summer child

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

Buckle up

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

As people head for Offkai, don't forget to bathe every day (morning or night, whichever works for you) and bring a mask. Conventions were already super spreader events before COVID, so curb that shit as much as you can. Also, be safe. Shit's been getting tenser both on and offline.

The State Department is resuming student visa interviews and imposing strict social media rules, including a requirement that all applicants set their accounts to public to be scrutinized.

As the years rot sweetly away, one truth grows ever clearer… Poison Ivy was always right

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

The president employed a rarely used federal power to send military members to quell protests against his administration’s immigration raids in the city. Read the full story here ⤵️

A representative of the USA just deliberately fired upon an Australian reporter. Sounds like an international incident.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
