once again I must tap my own sign

This is such a perfectly condensed little parable of the horrors of the bullshit machines: a completely ignorant and illiterate shibboleth against standard punctuation, born from nothing and threatening to take over in no time—meme as prion chewing holes in the brains of a generation

If this was true, then wouldn’t this indicate a profound failure of “social networks” ostensibly designed to promote friendship and connection? A confession that “we made billions while being remarkably awful at our stated purpose, and only made things so much worse”? Galactic self own.

This, from a woman in Oklahoma talking to her local news station, is better than the vast majority of political speeches you'll hear today.

Y’all, Amazon is bad for writers, bad for publishers, bad for customers, bad for workers. bad for democracy. Would be wonderful if we could break its stranglehold.

XG SLAYED. They deserve to be huge

Stuck it out into the late night to watch XG perform at Coachella (thank you, terrific YouTube feed). The girls killed it. Minimal staging compared to some of the other acts, and better for it. Second half was backloaded with my favorite tracks. Highlights: New Dance, Shooting Star, Woke Up, IYKYK.

Every safety regulation was written in blood, frequently with a body count higher than one, and it’s not political to put the blame on people who want to “move fast and break things” when they start breaking human lives.

one way cynicism breeds catastrophe is the belief held both by those who take part in and passively observe the perpetration of evil that true consequences and genuine pain will never follow - “things will mostly stay the same”

Please amplify: “People with disabilities proudly serve our nation through government service in every federal department and agency. Disabled employees, like non-disabled employees, are hired because they meet the qualifications needed to do the job.”

Today I feel nothing but grief and rage, and it is exhausting

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Concentration camps preceded extermination camps by several years. They began in Germany just as administratively, just as innocuously, as this. It's important to understand the historical track we are on.

so the thing is just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming it's actually not helpful

Russian disinfo network “Matryoshka” is migrating to Bluesky as exodus from X continues. You may notice them as posters who are smearing Chrystia Freeland, pushing anti-Ukrainian narratives, Germany's election, anti-EU rhetoric, anti-NATO rhetoric, etc. Their numbers are still low, so stay vigilant

If I could hand one directive to the Democratic Party for the next four years, it would be this: People will vote for you if you fight, even if you lose. People will not vote for you if you do not fight.

This made me bolt up and go “OF COURSE.” In AI, I believe this is known as “model collapse”

When I had my 2020 post-auction radicalization (ie: for a month twitter wasn't stressing me out then it started again) the very first thing I committed to doing was trying VERY VERY hard not to post something just because I was mad. if I couldn't name how posting would HELP? I didn't.

I’m on… puffball. Also thanks to this app, I’ve learned I’m blocked by 12 users (so low? must be slacking) and on a list called “Copyright Cops”. Apparently that’s for people who are pro-copyright? Don’t remember even talking about that. But, yes, I am pro-copyright. Thanks for noticing.
