The creator of Pixelfed.social, @dansup.bsky.social, has just announced the next version of the app is getting starter packs. So Pixelfed will have starter packs and no ads, while Instagram has ads and support for Fascism. I say it's time to dump Meta! #Pixelfed #Meta #Instagram

Trump has signed 10 executive orders attacking trans people in his first 16 days in office. Do not ever let anyone tell you that it's Democrats who are obsessed with trans people.

If your response to "Biden should have done more to prevent this" is to blame people who didn't vote for Kamala Harris, then what exactly do you think we're electing these people to do? If the Democrats want to be our leaders, it seems like they might want to try leading once in a while.

In light of recent events, it's worth taking a look back at some of the #MeToo and racial discrimination allegations against Elon Musk, dating back to at least 2017. At the time, these allegations were either dismissed, including shamefully by some on the left. A thread 🪡 #Musk #Elon #Tesla

My spoiler-free review of #StarTrek #Section31: It definitely wasn't as bad as I was expecting based on early reviews, but it still had some issues. On the balance, I'd say I enjoyed it, but it took me about half the movie to get into it.

[Lower Decks finale] I'm about to watch the #StarTrekLowerDecks finale episode and I wanted to see how the Mastodon content warning would show up when bridged to Bluesky. If you can see this over there without a warning, you might want to mute the thread to avoid spoilers

That makes 4 out of my list to have played so far! I was hoping that "Alright" would be higher, but I'm happy at the sheer volume of Kendrick Lamar we've gotten in the #XPNCountdown

Today I realized that "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone was eligible for the #XPNCountdown, and uh… I'd like to change my vote? That song was unironically great, but if we haven't heard it so far, then that means enough other people also forgot about it that it's not going to be in.
