📢 App Version 1.81 is rolling out now (1/3) • Major performance improvements • GIFs now support alt-text! • The Discover feed is piloting a "Show more like this" and "Show less like this" tool in post menus

Here’s the thing about Tressie leaving. I’m sure a lot of people who follow me have been annoyed about my regular complaints about what feels like a unique type of reply guy and self righteous antagonism on here. But the reason I point it out is to try to get users and the Bsky team to intervene.

reuters has really done an amazing job detailing, piece by piece, how tesla is basically a giant pile of fraud built on the back of poorly built tech and the empty promises of an opportunistic bullshitter

I am coming to France next week!

This Saturday, come along and see me at Gosh Comics.:

Hi this is VERY IMPORTANT CONTEXT from a Jewish Studies professor at Columbia about EVERYTHING that has gone down, including cops, encampment, and the utter lack of expertise at the table, despite actual antisemitism scholars employed by university BEGGING to be put to use:

📢 App Version 1.80 is rolling out now (1/4) One of our goals right now is to simplify the interface. For a first step, we’ve moved “Moderation” from the side menu into the Settings page.

Would it help if we described the hypothetical to the Court as "the president could order Seal Team 6 to assassinate members of the Supreme Court so that he could fill their seats with new appointments"? (And don't say "they'd impeach him" when he could also order hits on members of Congress.)

They charged this Emory professor with battery for asking an officer “what are you doing?” when they were brutalizing a student protester. Just viciously threw her on the ground and then charged *her* with a crime.

The new policy that Indiana University used to justify snipers, arresting students and faculty, and banning those arrested from campus for a year, was enacted *one day* before yesterday's protests began. It wasn't even posted online until yesterday morning. www.idsnews.com/article/2024...

Is Liam Nissan back?

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It’s abundantly apparent that Elon's motives for buying Twitter go much further than his need for attention, whether positive or negative. His partners want nothing more than to see democracy destroyed here. His relationship with Putin is another factor.

📢 App Version 1.71 is rolling out now! This one's mainly bugfixes and some improvements to a11y, but it also includes a fancy new context menu which, on mobile, is now a full bottom sheet:

Rise and shine my beautiful American patriots. It's time to harass some goddamn Nazis

Some good legal news: The conservative 11th Cir. unanimously struck down Florida’s Stop WOKE Act as violative of the 1st Amendment. The state cannot forbid private employers from having training programs on race and diversity, as the Act required. Sorry, DeSantis. It’s a hard no.

So the Supreme Court rules no State hascthe right to decide the 14th Amendment only Congress does This is a chicken shit ruling by a bunch of spinless justices slate.com/news-and-polit…

Hey, Peeps! Another friend has migrated here from the dumpster fire. Would you be so kind as to show @secretagentnumber6.bsky.social some BlueSky love with a follow, please? 💙

Amazon has long cultivated the idea that it runs its shopping platform on tiny margins, relying instead on AWS for its profits. This is widely reported. It's also not true. Amazon’s marketplace is hugely profitable. I have a new piece in The Atlantic on how Amazon has kept these profits secret.

bluesky is like being stranded on an island with a bunch of cool people and pretty views and we built a little tiki bar and have campfires every night but you better fuckin like coconuts because that’s all we got

One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of forms of regulation of recreational sex and birth control would/will be largely broken-taillight-type laws. By which I mean when you create a law you can’t possibly really enforce, it’s just a blanket power to selectively harass people you don’t like.

Breaking news: A U.S. spacecraft has successfully landed on the moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 flight 51 years ago. The spacecraft, dubbed Odysseus, is on the lunar surface, and is communicating with the ground. wapo.st/48rgN59

Daughter tells me she heard today that if you wear a band T-shirt (especially as a young woman) and a man says to you “name five of their songs”, the correct response is “name five women who trust you”, so I pass this on in case any of you need it

The longer I live, the more I am convinced other planets use this planet as an insane asylum.
