I reported an antisemitic slur and threat hurled at me on Twitter, to see what happens, and after an "investigation" it was "determined" that it did not violate their rules. Cool.

The people whining about video games being woke never have any actual ideas themselves. They never suggest stories they want to see or themes they want explored. It's always just crying about boobs being not big enough or a character being gay. Truly the biggest whiniest babies on the planet

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Billionaires are bowing down. Media figures are bending a knee. Public figures want to accommodate. It is up to us to form a new opposition. We will not back down. We must not obey.

Kendrick Lamar just dropped the music video for "Squabble Up"

UMG, which distributes Drake's music, made a statement: "No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear." variety.com/2024/music/n...

Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️‍🔥 “…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

Donald Trump... Donald Trump proposes to nail countries that trade with the US, with HUGE tariffs. We went thru this the last time he was in office. Some may say... so what, we need to protect the US from foreign imports. Well let me share this with you. He Has NO IDEA, what could happen. THREAD🧵

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Some news: amid rapid growth and some over-enforcement of its community guidelines, Bluesky trust and safety chief @aaron.bsky.team tells me the company will quadruple the size of its content moderation team www.platformer.news/bluesky-grow...

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

Finished up another old sketch I had from a few years back; it's been kind of fun going through some of my older WIPs and freshening them up. :)

They have their own TV channels, personalities, media. They deride fact checking and (well) moderated debate. They buy social media platforms to manipulate algorithms and amplify content that suits their preferred ends and worldview. What they are threatened by are places of alignment + organizing

This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

good morning blueskiers look at this loaf

what do I have to do to stop seeing the godforsaken thoughts of Mark fucking Cuban. Blocking isn't enough, I need a lazer

hmm. yeah. Bluesky is actually pretty good. If nothing else, I can see all the people I follow. Finally. But I prefer folks sign up to my mailing list at www.akemiart.ca (scroll down to the bottom) because things come & go but my website going to outlast them all.

Whenever we make ourselves smaller for them, they just shrink our box again.

This also reminds me that someone smarter than me needs to get on a soap box about how they monetize all these food allergies people don’t actually have.

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link. For example x.com/dril/status/... becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/... People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.
