Being "self-made" is a myth. Anyone saying they are doesn't respect the labor of others around them...

I saw a post the other day that said something to the effect of ICE is a job guarantee program for racists and domestic abusers and they weren't wrong

James Gunn responds to ‘leak’ on who is playing Damian Wayne in ‘The Brave and the Bold’ 😂

S/o to the courtroom artist! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely, I feel the same way. It’s frustrating to watch people cling to ideas that clearly work against their own best interests, almost like they’re defending the very things holding them back.

bluesky devs wanting to make twitter-reddit linkedin but getting mad about getting e621 and deviantart instead will never stop being funny to me shoutout unmarketable queers and kink artists keep doing good work

Listen working with incompetent people sucks

Once you get past the "Damn I should've said this." aspects there's enough meat here for a conversation about Black Women within the system that I'm sensitive to but it's clear Kamala didn't want to fully have.

Almost done with 107 Days and I don't know if it's because I lived through it, but the latter portion of the book gets really foreboding in a way that kinda makes it harder to listen/read.

If I were the leader in charge of a microblogging site proposed as an alternative to the far-right mainstream option I simply wouldn’t publicly meltdown that the userbase doesn’t want it to be cozy with the far-right.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

to put it in terms they will understand: if you want to run a pancake store, but then millions of people who only want waffles turn up, fuck you, you run a waffle store now

I wanted to see how folks were feeling about Black Ops 7 on reddit and its just thread after thread of SBMM complaints and I should've just known better.

i am catching up on the moderation discourse and it’s really annoying that this episode basically goes back to leadership trying to have a goof and a gag. there’s not a lot of room-reading happening which comes across as immature and unprofessional

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

So I'm actually 22 chapters in so my mistake but immediately after I posted this she said the most infuriating thing. I didn't recall her very flaccid response to the crowd yelling "lock him up". Probably my most visceral reaction to anything in the book so far.

About six chapters into 107 days and the most glaring aspect about it is just how loyalty poisoned she ended up being and how detrimental it was to her career.

Every new social media app fails to learn from the moderation decisions of its predecessors. My advice is to talk to former trust & safety team members at both current and former competitors. Learn from their mistakes and don’t let the legal team veto moderation decisions, as this often ends badly.

My problem with the Bluesky team (y'all fucked up in record time btw) is that they don't recognize how much they poison the well because they are up their own asses. I hate these hypotheticals but if I was in charge, my user base that just left a website due to an asshole would be priority #1.

What yall did to Target is the same thing you need to do with Ticketmaster. Fuck those concerts. You need your money more than Beyonce does.

A money back guarantee for eating pussy is insane

all you have to do is not go.

Heads up, ATX: ICE is in town. Latest sighting, via ice block. #ice

You're not the exception to the truth that human beings are valuable & deserve safety & support. Trauma programming will try to tell you, over & over again, that those nice words don't apply to you-- but step back, over & over, & see that as the conditioning that it is. No more.

multiracialunity.org/2018/09/26/i... Dr. Foley discusses how class is not an identity equal to racism but is the foundational economic relationship upon which sexism and racism exist in order to maintain it. Class is relative to ownership of the means of production, not just being “posh” or not.

solidarity with ALL oppressed groups for those who think this still isn’t “your issue”, super important read

Love hearing an NPR reporter repeat Vought's line about "unconstitutional DEI principles" with nary a query about what the fuck that actually means. At some point we need journalists to make this administration explain some of these batshit utterances.

So I decided that my first writing project was going to be a review of Kamala's book super-imposed against Assata's autobiography thanks to an interaction on here lol. I'll use this post as a sort of note taking of what I find interesting.

No and it's best practice to assume everything won't hit the ear or eyes the same.

The meanest people are often the most bothered. If you think everyone is against you, what does a social contract mean to you?

Speak for yourself!

People talk a good game but those actions is where the check gets cashed

Thank you MI Attorney General Dana Nessel! bsky.app/profile/miat...

Jasmine Ray, who served at City Hall in a $160,000-a-year job, had an undisclosed romance with Eric Adams years before he became New York City’s mayor. In her memoir, she describes their relationship.

This new Doja makes me feel like this every time I press play. No notes 😮‍💨

They left off Kentucky! We voted down an anti-abortion amendment too!

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Saw earlier that the website for canceling GP is down, which…says a lot

The Saudis have now bought WWE, MMA, boxing, and Madden. A pattern emerges.

He said

Chris Rock probably encouraged it.

Marshawn Lynch is the King of Side Quests. His videos are delightful. 😄

Damn we naming them after clouds now??

Two Senate Dems and one Independent voted with Republicans to pass the CR yesterday: • Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada) • John Fetterman (D-Pennsylvania) • Angus King (I-Maine, who caucuses with Democrats)

I think I would try to 2XKO if there was just a single character for me to actually attach myself to but they don't seem to exist. And it's probably why I never gotten into League of Legends as an IP.

It’s the extra microplastics in the cap 😮‍💨
