in my experience we all just defer to the most linux member of the polycule and whatever open source solution she prefers

I need a highlight reel of every save Joseph Woll just made in that game. jfc

Trump 🤝 person he’s shaking hands with Trump 🤝 person he’s shaking hands with 🤝 🤝 🤝

also, everything thats actually bad about really-existing socialism--eg personality cults, secret police, mass imprisonment, state propaganda, heavy-handed central planning, zealous and venal apparatchiks, rampant corruption and dysfunction, etc--are all endemic features of maga and the trump regime

hearing that the impromptu community meeting today in Durham NC reached *500* people, with overflow groups relaying communications from inside. Durham is starting to show up, but we’re gonna need a lot more people plugged in to truly defend our communities. buy and wear a whistle, and get involved!

interesting that the blueSKY doesn’t use CLOUDflare hmm

trumps administration is the largest looting of the working class funneled up to the wealthy in history

took this photo in fucking southern VA tonight

just fyi every one of these Republicans covering up Trump’s complicity in the largest child sexual abuse ring in history is someone 8 Senate Democrats decided to trust with the fate of Americans’ healthcare less than 3 days ago

ACAB includes The Police

the timing of this capitulation by democrats is no mistake: before the Thanksgiving plane travel rush, after the important elections that just passed. democrats knew how important this election was for them so they played hardball but as SOON as they got what they wanted, they caved.

I agree. there’s three roles for people on the left that need to be working simultaneously: 1. usurping the Democratic party from within to elect leftists (DSA) 2. direct action for immediate harm reduction (food pantries) 3. building a new system that replaces the current one (mutual aid orgs etc)

these politicians don’t see themselves as influencers of public opinion through media bc they don’t see public opinion as important. they instead think of themselves as chess pieces (playing as Black), and that if they can outwit the Republicans (white) somehow they can win fair and square.

what the fuck is wrong with you people. don’t let evil people make you an evil person

or, and hear me out here, we just don’t allow *anyone in the country* to make over $200,000 in one year. anything above that is taxed at 100%. then we set the salary for all of these positions (mayor, president, and everything in between) to be $200,000. no more corruption, tons of tax inflows.

maybe if we don't bail them out, nothing will be lost. AI is dramatically and artificially inflating both the economy and our energy needs. the real economy is labubus and handjobs, not GPUs and ChatGPT

fun fact. under communism it won't matter how much money Elon Musk has bc money won't exist

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

sometimes I feel like we're not meant to see opinions like "free healthcare for everyone" and "anyone who does drugs recreationally should be killed" on the same website

crafting my Bluesky experience

Bluesky Elder now means you were here before Zohran

could we get Bluesky to natively display Leaflet posts? maybe you could also add an app setting that makes all posts longer than 300 characters either truncate at 500 characters or 300 characters (both with a "Read more..." button at the end). I think that would give both user choice + more features

this isn't true at all. the problem you're describing is just "what if someone in the group chat leaks it", which is always a problem with private spaces. the difficulty for private data is more about access control across multiple PDSs. pls don't say this stuff confidently without knowing it's true

PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is. It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it. It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

here's some feedback on each section! Social proximity: I'm glad to see something similar to my idea from exactly one year ago today be adopted, but I wish it was more explicit. my social neighborhood shouldn't be hidden to me, it should be visible and configurable by me.

I feel like the culture we build online is actually made up of so much fewer people than we think

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

we desperately need to get these people off Twitter like yesterday

a group of 25 tents is a festival. a single massive tent is a circus.

there's no such thing as white culture bc there's no such thing as "<any race> culture". culture is always created and proliferated through proximity, so there is culture created in nations, cities, families, friend groups. but the idea that there's some culture shared by all ppl of a race is dumb

A fallacy that I see some organizers promote [sometimes] is that people 'just know what to do' and this is simply not true. Tell people what you are doing and invite them to join in.

there really is a bible verse for everything huh

for them to be saying this, they must be planning to plant false flags at some No Kings protests this weekend. stay vigilant, no fedposting, and remember that you could be on camera at any time

a lot of people ask me "Ezra, what do you expect billionaires to do, give all their money away? become destitute?" and I always tell them "no, Bari Weiss, but I'm glad you asked. here's what I would do if I somehow got a billion dollars tomorrow:" 🧵

christ

given that he can't be president, I'm hopeful that he will still become the leader of the Democratic Party and focus on local elections and leading the party rhetorically, while the president leads the government itself through custom implementation of Mamdani's/the people's vision
