Okay this is getting out of hand. I don't wanna play no more. 😂

If you give me a white chocolate chip cookie, imma smile and imma eat it. But just know that we ain't friends like we were before. It's different now.

Yep.

I've never met a person in real life who likes 3 musketeers.

Things to unravel in systemic change versus interpersonal " Just because someone's presence makes you FEEL like the way your oppressor/ abuser does , doesn't mean they ARE your oppressor and abuser" " Just because you are kind INTERPERSONALLY doesn't mean you are fighting oppression"

The U.S. is never going to stop terrorizing and killing people out of compassion. That's a truth people should internalize.

Its my birthday 🥳✨!! Heres some of my favorite art I’ve done this year!! If you don’t mind, sharing my art would be the best 💝✨

5 or so years ago, my family decided that, instead of giving traditional gifts, we'd have a book exchange. In that spirit, here's a list of unique, wide-appeal books for #FridayBooksRecs to help you gift something special for that hard to shop for person in your life.

"The document says he intended to use his military training for the planned overthrow of the island. On Feb. 8, 2025, Weisenburg failed out of fire training." One of the biggest advantages we have is that many white supremacists are incompetent.

"Trump II administration figures often speak the language of merit in order to contrast it to 'DEI' or 'affirmative action,' but in practice they only hire incompetent clowns—so long as they are also loyal clowns." - @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com

So forcing people to use ShatGPT in their awful software after lobbying against the IRS free tax filing tool? I feel like whomever said we all expired in 2020 and this is hell might’ve made a few points…

This is y'all's chance to work on a webapp where the whole point of using Rust isn't to scale up—it's to scale DOWN. 6k reqs/s on a sub-US$30 machine is no joke. And it's a hard copyleft ecosystem that we're going to protect for the folks who rely on us! Let's do open source right.

One of the challenges since I got my ADHD diagnosis is that I can't really tell if the issues I observe now are the same as they've always been, or if they're actually worse and I just don't have a good frame of reference. I forget things all the time now. But maybe I always have.

In almost every substantive conversation about AI with working professionals, there's almost always a person who is hardcore anti-AI. But not usually someone who is willing to be a staunch advocate. I wonder what that means.

I got hit with a "What up Unc?" in the wild and in stunning unlce fashion I replied "Aight now" Damn it they got me

Notice we ain’t hear from the White House ALL DAY?

Welp!

Black Mirror but make it fashion.

Went on @msnbc.com to talk crypto grift. Plus, a sneak peak of the film I directed, EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY playing @docnycfest.bsky.social this weekend!

Like what is the point of going out of your way to sacrifice people like Sarah and Link if it doesn’t even enable you to get at people like Singal? Don’t can’t pretend you care about inciting violence and then utterly fail to actually protect against the worst perpetrators.

Whew. Listen. You talk to a lot of young people today and the whole conversation is basically them asking “where is the fix?” It’s not that they don’t work hard. They’re actually working very hard to find ways to exploit the system.

"A legislative commission in Richmond has spent the past year surveying nearly every public institution of higher education, finding that at least 11 cited using eminent domain or other means to acquire land in majority-Black neighborhoods."

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

@cydharrell.bsky.social Cyd! It's good to see you here.

For the record, many many people are not actually clear on their values. It's more difficult than it sounds.

I'm gonna push back on this. I feel like people fall victim to this all the time. The flaw in this reasoning is that if the platform has decided to engage in moderation, they don't need to take the word of the person that it's a joke. They need to use their own judgment and make a determination.

How does this incident compare to Link, who has been banned indefinitely?

"Democrats will never fully support disabled people because disability is the antithesis of capitalism. It requires we take a step back from always making a profit when it comes to the lives of people who can produce no profit outside of extraction from our for-profit healthcare system." 100% this.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I remember everybody patting themselves on the back for getting Fetterman elected. I admit I wasn't paying attention and don't know anything about it. Is there any writing on how he so thoroughly duped everybody?

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man, but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

It seems to me that past right-wing moved to eliminate government programs would be couched in some sort of “taxpayer savings” rhetoric. I haven’t seen anything of the sort with the SNAP cuts. Just cruelty and no justification as to why, thinly veiled or otherwise.

One thing they will always do is tell you how to beat them. They are admitting the only way to stop this is incarceration

Is Link still banned? I still don't see the profile, but wanna make sure I didn't miss something.

So one of my weird habits is that anytime I start using a new app, I go through all of the settings. I like to see what kind of things are configurable and turn off anything I find annoying. The bluesky moderation stuff seemed weird from the jump.

The "service" includes settings for hiding certain types of content, warning you that the skeet contains such content before you see it, or simply turning off the filter. If you've never been here before, you'll find things like "rude" or "threats" are set to "Hide".

You can “do everything right” and *still* need safety net programs.
