Every old Western society that gets lauded as great I'm just going to start saying that Aliens built. Watching folks still be confused how Machu Piccchu or The Pyramids exist, because they only answer is "aliens" whenever anyone brown is involved is....is something

For my Trump supporting folks who defend him, or Elon Musk worshippers, Elon having the information from our SSNs, Bank Data, Tax Info, Pensions & all US Payment systems info on his own private servers I think is a bad thing, for a myriad of reasons. Do you think otherwise?

Everyone recognized that Facebook broke society during the election in 2016. People are entirely defenseless against misinformation and algorithmic radicalization. One big note, that seems to go unnoticed, is that it was never fixed. The groups poisoned are worse, or broken

This is an economic Coup d'etat. Don't be afraid to say that in your communities and to your family members etc... This is what's unfolding.

Your great-grandfather called us colored and subhuman. Your grandfather called us thugs and criminals. Your father called us welfare queens and cultural deviants. That you're trying to pivot about DEI isn't surprising, but don't be so surprised that we see you.

Because of how modern masculinity works, specifically this type, you know Drake haaaaaaaaaaaaaates that Kendrick is 5'5 and ruthlessly owning him. Good.

Unsurprisingly, Trump got embarrassed by the leaders of the countries of our allies, and is trying to spin it as a win. No wonder Elon likes him, every time he punches himself to his dick his followers think it's 4d chess

Kanye is supposed to be a style genius but notice he's never "pushing the boundaries" for men's fashion. It's never Kanye in some heels with his dong out.

You can tell if a system is broken if it uses the things it incentivizes as justification to punish people and limit their access to the system This is true on a micro scale(how we manage and judge ourselves) to macro- how society interacts with us.

Two things: Musk having unfettered access to the government's payment system is a national crisis Releasing water into the Central Valley just wastes water and cost Californians more money in the future, does not help with fires at all.

Move fast and break things works for tech because it's entirely reliant on society's bureaucracy to mitigate any potential compounding damages. It doesn't work as a function of government, because the "things" you are breaking are people and societal infrastructure

"Free speech absolutism and it's just his autism" Lol, notice that Elon hasn't said anything negative about every country who has drawn a red line to his BS. Magically, he controls his mouth all the time with the CCP. Weird

Certain people on here get mad at me for being as confident as I am(implications aside), especially because I don't brandish my accomplishments Fine. Not to show off, but I'm running out of spinach, because I bought a container, and used it all before it started to go bad Weep

Everyone who doesn't understand cultural appropriation, often just doesn't have any experience with culture or exclusion; liking to eat Asian food is not that. When a society has time for the ideas, and the expressions, but not the people who made them, it is deliberate.

People were talking to me about their Asian parents, Chinese and Indian, giving them American names so that their resumes don't get passed up, and I enjoy how no one glanced at me as if my Black ass isn't named Brandon

There's one religion in America that matters, and drives everything we do, and that's Power. Watch all of them kneel and worship at it, when they realize someone's going to wield it for gifts or abuse

Hating DEI in practice is just looking at all white male spaces in every field and thinking "this is right and natural, society is perfect."

Just a heads up, the Trump admin is absolutely going to withhold federal funds, even if they're approved by Congress, from relief over the fires in California purely over immigration grandstanding. Punishment is the plan.

By the way, every HBCU, or group focused on getting women in science, or focus on underprivileged young men building stability and a better future, that's attached to the government who does outreach to provide those opportunities, has now been dismantled.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

"Sensorship doesn't help with the problem of Nazis, in fact, it makes it worse" is the biggest crock of shit. Once you ask....."How does that make it worse vs platforming and signal boosting their message?" you'll see an immediate retreat to lazy platitudes

I know plenty of people who have similar mannerisms, and proclivities, as Elon does, all of them grown, and actually diagnosed with autism, none of them are casually doing Nazi salutes "by accident". Especially twice, by a guy with a history of supporting literal Nazis.

In Sci-fi, we read about beings with fantastical powers, the ability to shape society at whim, forces of nature that can become natural disasters. Grappling with the ethics and morality of such disproportionate influence. In reality, we just let billionaires run wild

My brother's home burned down in the fires in SC in 2020, and one thing that was a HUGE problem was rogue volunteers, showing up donating things that aren't useful, taking up hotel rooms displaced families can't stay in, being disaster tourist. Stay home, send gift cards.

Single sourcing your income to an individual platform, no matter how large, is a terrible idea, especially if you are a content creator. If your entire business has been built on TikTok and you haven't done any diversification because you ignored the coming ban, that's on you

I really miss when "Free thinker with an open mind" meant someone who could come up with unique ideas and wasn't bound by the prejudice of their culture, instead of now, where it's just someone who is a textbook lazy reactionary who is allergic to learning

Conditioning aid to the victims of disasters to your political wish list is textbook evil. That people who claim to be religious, Christian at that, are doing it, tells you all you need to know about how they practice that religion.
