I’ve seen this movie before and eventually there’s a purge and a bunch of people catch perms

related to the bit about how this site doesn't have good moderation, is that when it does apply moderation it's A. an extremely half measure (the rude label? really? a sticker? your mod plan is a sticker?) and b. extremely arbitrary & capricious (there are accounts that reply like this all the time)

"everything is fandom" is (a) tired and (b) incredibly lazy analysis but boy the BA shooter sure is fandom

rolling a pair of cartoonishly large dice every time the signal desktop client updates to see if it deletes my entire computer

If you’re not blinded by tears of laughter when you make it to “Dessert: Included” you have no sense of humor.

I don't even know how to describe what is happening here.

Goofs aside, I do consistently forget bluesky does have a lot of those people who talk about being victims of antisemitism because they had an awkward experience with a grocery store cashier meanwhile I had a guy try to murder me and had to beat a fellow student with one of my crutches lmao

JD Vance hurriedly deleting a reference to the Armenian genocide from X the everything app after severe backlash from the richest man in Turkey, Bugroncypk Matalar, and one of his staunchest supporters, a 34-year-old groyper, Gravey Muntjack.

i bring a sort of "muskeljudentum is woke now" vibe to the shul the urbanites don't really like

This you?

you can quite famously buy a rotisserie chicken for five dollars at costco

one week until the year of the horse (honse)! as a little honse treat, any orders for the next week that include my lascaux horse bumper stickers or sticker sheets will come with a free honse riso print - while supplies last acorviart.bigcartel.com

I think a lot of the criticisms bluesky receives are better laid at the feet of social media as a structure rather than bluesky in specific, but I will agree with the assertion Aaron Rodericks is a fucking dunce who is clearly extremely bad at his job.

The thing that gets me is that this kind of thing isn’t limited to Will, it’s something that I think every big account goes through. I’ve had my sister send me replies asking “aren’t you worried one of these people is going to do something to you?” for very low stakes opinions. Genuinely toxic.

they really do not understand that once Trump’s in the ground their coalition of religious fundamentalists, Nazis, and silicon valley CEOs will completely disintegrate. they’re delusional about their ability to somehow end our democracy before November. Trump bought them time they’ve squandered.

It's an opinion that sits uncomfortably, but reality is super fucking nuanced, and having seen a small glimpse of what a lack of safeguards can cause on Discord, I gotta say I think that this take might be the most rational and solid one I've seen. I hate it, because of course we should /1

apologies for an ffxiv post but if they don't make halmarut an absolute freak the game is doomed

After reviewing critiques of the Quiet Revival narrative, @georginasturge.bsky.social, author of 'Bad Data,' concludes "Yes, the @biblesociety.bsky.social data is clearly wrong and has been thoroughly debunked." cc: @robb-s.bsky.social

back in the day if you got caught trying to film people on the down-low you'd get dragged into the street and beaten and in many ways i think that's more significantly more civilized than tolerating this shit

Normally, one doesn't put reviews on a business card, but if I got one with this on it I'd put it in my little business card clasp.

"Ebba Andersson wasn’t so lucky. Swedish media reported that her silver medal for skiathlon fell off its strap and disappeared under the snow, prompting a frantic search. The medal was recovered, but she gave up trying to find the clasp that had failed to keep it connected to the ribbon."

My last opinion regarding Discord is you're going to have to decide if you're comfortable with a platform doing nothing about a truly nightmarish volume of the worst child extortion and abuse imaginable or an increasingly effective, secure form of verification. If neither, then it's not for you.

This is not Discord “walking things back.” This is them further explaining the situation in more detail, and elaborating on how the new system will work. I understand the impulse to attribute this to outrage and Nitro cancellations, but this is just a better explanation, not a change.

if yooouuuu... have a cortisol spike when you jestergoon foids at the tractor pull... you might just be a neckpilled redmaxxing moid

The fact that we can produce more food for fewer man-hours than at any other time in history by literal orders of magnitude is a fucking miracle, and we should be trying to expand on the implications of that, rather than rejecting it.

If you’re on the fence: It’s a piece of media where you can be racist against AI

i think if you're using follow rates as a metric for who's worth listening to you're a fucking idiot but what do i know i've just been alive longer than ten minutes

got my last roll of 2025 film back and would you believe it, she stuns on 35mm too. #filmisnotdead #filmsky

if they do a detroit become human ps5 remaster you know i'm in there on DAY ONE with martin luther kilobyte

This. Theories of Trump stealing the midterms that start with assuming control of the House all comes down to a few very close races isn’t really a theory of Trump stealing the midterms. It’s basically the 2020 plot, which was in one race, not many, and thwarted by Biden winning by multiple states.

everyone should play detroit: become human because it is one of the most fascinating pieces of media ever made

also the new discord verification is vastly more secure and all the verification is handled locally so unless you lose your phone, i don't know what to tell you

You don’t live here. Jasmine Crockett sucks and she won’t beat the GOP candidate. Fuck off

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies. It was a "sideshow," I was told.

“I want *policy*” “I DON’T WANT THESE EXTERNALITIES” “That came with *policy*” “No fuck you”

the specific doge teens who found some real stems and seeds bullshit in DC should get the presidential medal of freedom

my surprisingly hot take that pisses off people you might not expect it to is that parents should be criminally liable for egregious failures to protect their children and provide at least some protection against exposure to obvious harms

Look, my immediate instincts on most things are generally pretty well covered by a combination of early 2000s tech libertarianism, but the only response to industrial scale child abuse and exploitation on numerous platforms other than adding friction to them is "children need porn to live".

discord thing's fine, pretty acceptable implementation of a solution to a catastrophic problem that is more effective than the previous solution, which is to say "nothing"

One thing I will say about Larry the Cable Guy is his whole bit was a white trash minstrel show.

as the creep of nostalgia marches ever onward, generation alpha will be doing ron white jokes as he was the only funny blue collar comedy tour guy

Going to the jazz uncle function, or as we like to call it, the junction

They do, but its incredibly siloed into the evangelical music industry and several parallel entertainment complexes that by design only borrow from mainstream culture and never attempt to broaden back out into it, because doing that would defeat the point

The day all the Italian Americans in MAGA realize they are not truly part of the club…MAMMA MIA
