this is a great example of why, when people want us to add new integrations, we have to ask "have they thought about all of their potential moderation surfaces"

for all the sky puns without explicitly encouraging the -sky prefix somebody other than me has to take the plunge and name an ATProto app "chemtrails" right? i think it's inevitable

Ask your furry groups, cons, and favorite influencers to quit Xitter. Specialized, niche, self-powered subcultures have more power to change platforms than any other users, and other groups are doing it while furries are letting their power go untapped. #QuityourX dogpatch.press/2025/11/24/f...

ICE doesn’t belong at our airports. Our Office of Immigrant Affairs has updated guidance and you can call their legal hotline at 800-354-0365.

Blacksky doesn’t get enough credit for how many people we’ve outlived.

When you have talented people on your team, get out of their way.

At least it can't get much worse for Kinger and Queenie

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I’m still collecting stories and I want to hear from you. Reach me via Signal at marisakabas.04

“Leftists and Muslims and apolitical people love Tucker Carlson and will vote for him for president” because of what he says about Israel-Palestine is one of the most X-brained things I’ve ever seen.

People keep telling me I need to downplay atproto, that it needs to become "invisible", and I think that's great! I get to go tell potential investors that there won't be as many barriers to us dumping this decentralized bullshit at the first sign of profitability. Nobody cares, right?

Bellingcat and our partners at @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org have tracked US Border Patrol agents, analysing over 85 hours of footage taken across the country to try and unpack the circumstances around multiple use-of-force incidents. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

To put on my hotep cap & spit righteously to y’all, the police began as slave catchers & that’s why they hunt Black people in particular & all the oppression of the police state that extends to everyone is to keep Black people down & all white citizens are taught to be volunteers in state policing.

I thought they were supposed to help out in some nebulous way. But they are just going to stand around menacing people huh?

I think it is really important for us to understand just how big of a defeat the We Are All Charlie Kirk thing was, because I don't feel like there has been much writing about the larger meaning of it

I think to reduce Caine down to “he’s just like AM now” is a bit too simple; I view him less as a villain and a monster, and more as a neglected child having a tantrum. His breakdown, while certainly malicious, was driven by anguish and confusion at the world rather than solely anger or hate.

A new paper examines blocking on Bluesky: "…blocking does not decrease the popularity and activity of the blocked users and has a limited effect on the social graph." There is a lot more nuance in here. h/t @index.internet.exchangepoint.tech.ap.brid.gy openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/36...

y’all so used to an algorithm making plane noises to spoon feed you content that you put absolutely zero effort into engaging, searching, existing on any platform other than nazi-land. sad
