the shitposters on this platform must overtake the tech posters if we want this place to thrive, the first bluesky war

Today Years Old

Peaceful activists are dragged off boats at gunpoint for trying to feed Gaza. But the war criminals committing the genocide get applause in parliaments, billions in funding, and handshakes from presidents. We are watching pure evil live streamed.

Y’all Israel has intercepted the HUMANITARIAN flotilla and is trying to surround them. Now more than ever would be the time to pay close attention to live streams from the passengers and the live tracker.

Try not to take it personal when people with ADHD don't call you back. They really do love you. They really don't mean to forget.

This man said wearing shorts above the knee is gay. Didn’t realize kneecaps made the boys wanna suck dick but turn up I guess.

- my socks aren't working - have you tried taking them off and putting them on again?

So, this is how I’m finding out the Ghostface Killah is a homophobic deadbeat! This is his son, Infinite Coles and the diss track eats!!!

Asking a majority non-Māori population to vote on whether Māori wards should be kept is racist as fuck. Asking any majority demographic to vote on whether minorities should have certain basic rights that facilitate equity is straight up bullshit. And referendums make me furious.

They don’t want to “be racist” so much as to obliterate the concept of “racism,” which they see as merely an unjust stigma against common-sense racial discrimination

paying a company bowing to a fascist government for a ticket to see a movie about rebels fighting a fascist government

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” -Frank Wilhoit

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

it's absolutely critical to understand in this moment that people aren't largely reacting to who Charlie Kirk was as a person, but who they knew him as because of what tiny pieces of him got clipped out and stuck in their newsfeeds.

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

The Charlie Kirk currently being eulogized in the press is a person that actual person of Charlie Kirk would call a cuck

Perfect way to deal with Destiny Church

Someone says "I think tax cuts for billionaires drives innovation and growth" and I'm gonna think they're stupid, but that's a "differing opinion" Saying Black women don't have the "brain processing power" for certain jobs, Palestinians don't exist, gay ppl should be stoned...that's not "opinions"

why does kash patel always look like the coke bag just ran out

Also if you upset bout Charlie Kirk but aint said shit bout them babies dying in Gaza or Congo you can block me the absolute fuck back.

the people need a new Rage Against the Machine for real

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.

Gonna start saying "I don't have access to that information" when people ask me how I've been.

Mitochondrial Challenges is supposed to be an Inspectah Deck song featuring GZA

Between Arps getting legal aid to oppose a restraining order, [name suppressed] being on full pay for 5 years while awaiting trial, and a man who promoted the great replacement being a press secretary for govt ministers, a lot of tax payer money has gone to far-right activists in recent times

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Rebecca Young, 13, was recognised for her design of a solar-powered backpack with an electric blanket inside, which she created to help homeless people

I've been thinking a lot about how I really hate the implication that AI skeptics are luddites because most of the AI skeptics I know are relatively tech savvy while the biggest AI champions I know can barely use email

It is sometimes necessary, in these difficult times, to spend an hour scrolling through clothing sites, hoping that one of these gowns is going to give you the strength to fight fascism.

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

Seems like the Minister still finds the word "racism" confusing.

Remember the good old days, when Parliament was serious and dignified, and one time the Prime Minister repeatedly, deliberately accused Labour and the Greens of "being on the side of rapists", and then the Speaker took firm action by ... throwing a Labour MP out of the House?

The revival of our folk traditions could bring about radical change in our communities; to help us be kinder and more in tune with nature.

Luxon at the Nat conference: 'the country needs to "say yes" more' To what? You did an investor summit: nothing. You told the last government off for investing in housing and ferries and biffed them. What exactly are we supposed to be saying yes to, Lord Liz Truss of the South Pacific? #nzpol

“what is the crime?!” I scream as the police drag me away from the polling booth “…enjoying a succulent free Māori hangi?!”

He explained that one of the the reasons he stopped writing: “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

i’m finding it requires more and more cognitive dissonance to enjoy indulgences as the fascism becomes increasingly omnipresent and suffocating

This has been absolutely destroying me the last few days.

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3
