celesteramsay.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Got the bug to watch Star Wars, the first one, and thinking about how no one involved in the movie thought it was going to be anything more than a B-movie job-type-job and Harrison Ford went on to do that stupid horror film where they set the Reed swimming pool on fire.

On X, most of my replies are blue check neo-Nazi repeating insane right wing conspiracy theories. But it’s still better than Bluesky where people sometimes give me a hard time about not using alt text.

I guess he's working on his next "new guy" to try to fill the dad-shaped hole in his heart. Elephant Graveyard recently did a deep, sardonic dive into Joe's many self-reinventions, and this latest move fits right into his thesis. youtu.be/_v3KiaAjpY8?...

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

Democrats ran three older people with cancer knowing they had cancer, they died within months of being sworn in, and that helped clear the way for Republicans to starve kids across the country. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate it here.

My kid has been a CMC student for the last 10 years. Cutting community art programs in the midst of rising fascism? As the AI con seeks to colonize every nook and cranny of our humanity? As kids have fewer and fewer places to commune off of screens to create and bask in beauty? FUCK NO.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Stop calling A.I. slop “art” and real human-created works “content”

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Lmao that South Africans are calling the “refugees” leaving “the Great Tsek” which basically translates to the great fucking off. Heard more Afrikaans swear words in the last couple days that I’d totally forgotten.

This is so revealing. That AI can very easily be manipulated to provide only information the programmers want. And that Elon is profoundly insecure about his "heritage." And there's the incompetence, too.

I was watching Hasan's (good) interview with Mélenchon last night and they were sort of joking about the possibility that he would have problems getting back into the US because of his speech, and then this morning ... So I guess we know ICE is monitoring Twitch streamers. youtu.be/cVTcRCrMMKo?...

Spending my whole day explaining to my client that they can't just magically make things appear because they fired all the people who actually made those things two years ago.

The thing is: He didn’t just phrase this awkwardly - this guy’s view of the world is entirely shaped by eugenic ideas that he pairs with wild conspiracy theories. And then you have Oz talking about the “patriotic duty” to be healthy… Eugenics and aggressive nationalism - down that path lies evil.

Last week, the New York Times came to Oregon and described the forest as smelling like a pine tree air freshener sold at car washes. Today I talk about why this is a great metaphor for helicopter journalism and the ways national media loses trust. leahsottile.substack.com/p/59-extract...

“The firing of Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter came after Perlmutter and her office earlier this week issued part three of a lengthy report about artificial intelligence and expressed some concerns and questions about the usage of copyrighted materials by AI technology.”

having just spent two months researching & writing on this exact topic, i agree! it seems relatively under explored in both academic and journalistic writing but there’s a deep well there. i devoted 7 straight episodes of my show to it & could easily do a dozen more.

Fascist use absurdity to wrap their actual agenda because it allows them plausible deniability as well as an opacity that is incredibly powerful.Make no mistake What Trump is saying here is that he wants to open CECOT style mega prisons for his perceived enemies and those who are against the regime.

Some kids jacked a Kia and smashed it into Scott’s loading dock, ran and hid in the bushes across the street, left a phone in the car and cops had their dad come.

An actual Enemies List of journalists and academics is circulating around the State Department. It appears to target, in part, anybody said a bad word about Alex Jones or Glenn Greenwald.
