Minneapolis isn't an especially sweary place but there are so many houses that have homemade "FUCK ICE" signs and I've had multiple conversations with parents about how we're okay with our kids using that word in this context because sometimes it IS okay to swear and this is one of those times.

I know there is a lot, but this really does break a part of me. It is so lawless on so many levels — and each individual boat strike is a choice.

i thought we elected a socialist mayor but it feels like we got a snowcialist mayor! i follow back, no DMs

also, they hid a lot, like project 2025 and the nature of deportations and i'm telling you so many of these people are propagandized i'm scared about the inevitable part where less connected americans find out everything was a lie innocent less literate people will feel culpable

*chanting* New floor! New floor! New floor!

Seeing Trump and Kash Patel interact with the men’s hockey team is a solid example of how misogyny functions as a male bonding ritual. Patel is clearly trying to impress the athletes and Trump, Trump is trying to impress the athletes, and the athletes are trying to impress the president

I resent the pivot to video so much. I do not want to become an "on air personality." I do not want to boil everything down into little pithy viral slogans. I don't want to worry about my f'ing hair. I hate it all. Hate it.

Please shoot me.

Imagine if people made impassioned pleas for everyone to be on YouTube Shorts the same way people argue we need to be on X. YouTube Shorts, meanwhile, has roughly a gazillion more active users

i pay $8 a month and people LIKE ME THERE

this is especially true because no other country taxes the super rich!

The way people talk about X versus Bluesky is so disconnected from reality. Do people remember Twitter as a place where the discourse was always good faith and productive? It was and still is the opposite. The primary difference between these sites is just that one is led by and crawling with Nazis

in memories and from a more innocent time even i didn't consciously notice/recall the "T" thing youtu.be/waeXBCUkuL8?...

Lmao John Oliver was a deep dive on why people need to leave Twitter. Holy shit. Too perfect.

Congratulations everyone

have to endorse this important message. the mango flavor distribution runs from "mild upgrade on cantalope" to "proof of the existence and boundless love of God"

John Oliver made an extremely solid case for leaving Twitter tonight. I wonder if anyone of note still there will finally realize it’s time.

i got covered in multiple media outlets for a thread initially posted to like 8k followers only on this website, even forcing journalists at least one outlet that wanted to interview me to create an account because it's impossible to contact me anywhere else i think it can be done

I'm sorry, main character auditions are closed for the day! Everyone still waiting in line should come back tomorrow.

it's so so so so weird and unsettling considering the actual emails AGHHHHH

the SVU rerun tonight is the pizzagate one and even before the opening credits it was extremely weird for "general today" and also "today today" and i don't remember this one so idk where it's going but i bet it will be even weirder

At some point we have to face the sad truth that this array of Administration miscreants are living their HS fantasies. Under what other circumstances would a group of athletes welcome this guy into a locker room celebration?

every time the X vs. Bluesky discourse comes up the conversation eventually gets here and i'm amazed that it finds a way to continue afterwards

we're not snowed in enough to be rehashing why we avoid the nazi poison site that has a CSAM generator native to the platform

I don't let my social media platforms define what kind of loser I am

omg i met my husband and later changed my career trajectory because of a message board

great news

this this this

X is unsafe for many people, period. I wouldn't post on there any sooner than I'd walk into a Klan convention. Literally not even an option.

the 12 or so hours at the start of a major snowstorm were the most magical time to be in new york city, in part because traffic almost vanished. truly shocking how quiet the city felt.

“Do you judge everyone who willingly gets manipulated by Elon musk?” Yes? Is this a bit

I’m here for reliable news, sports, and discourse that isn’t dominated by bots and chuds who have to pay to get people to read their posts.

this is the whole thing

we have watched, in real time, people *being seduced by or blundering into Nazi discourse* as a result of staying on X. There may be an argument for public figures staying on there for reach, it is a bad sign for private figures to do so.

if the choice is 'people being annoying from the center-left' and 'literal Nazis' you shouldn't pick the literal Nazi site *run by a Nazi.* this isn't hard!

"The fight is lost, man."

its also no longer accessible without an account AFAIK so it can't even serve as a default source of critical disaster comms and politicians' announcements

it’s wild that for all the titans in the fossil record, blue whales - who are with us right here and now - are, as far as we know, the largest animals that have ever lived

excellent point about how insidious this rhetoric is, like in order to have a presence anywhere you have to be exposed to its UCG to a degree where you can participate it's a moral carcinogen

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

if this is jay bhattacharya, he was so persistent in covid disinfo and iirc there was a group of doctors that had a label with a number and he was one of them so much counterdisinfo was unpacking coordinated medical/science info, like iirc dailywire claimed the ICL study was retracted or something

most bsky discontent waves seem to have overt or tacit "i can't generate engagement profits the way i want to" vibes this is why we don't have "blogs for fun" or anything for fun, because monetization consumed the humanity of it

(……one of the more useful things journalists do, I think, is help people understand who to be mad at, and why)

"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..." www.wsj.com/world/africa...

regular not terminally online people DO NOT KNOW we have concentration camps or that trump wasn't exonerated re: epstein or literally anything. the news is lying to them and i'm scared about it 24/7 attempts to discourage bluesky use unsettle me for that reason everyone knows twitter is censored

bluesky's strength is that information is (AFAIK) not suppressed, and when a story breaks, it's findable easily and chronologically. bluesky is the only big-ish site that is not censored to the point of being fucking useless that is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. people DO NOT KNOW what's happening

these people don't believe their own lies and no one tells them that. this math is simple, and this is on its face a lie
