Honestly the wildest thing about r/NewTubers, the subreddit for aspiring YouTubers, is how many posts are like "okay, I've built my channel, registered for AdSense, downloaded CapCut, built a library of memes, and now I just need to decide what to make videos about."

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.

The entire right fantasizing about a world in which trans people get free surgeries and black people live high on welfare and DEI because what else could explain how those people continue to flourish, be happy, produce exciting new culture while we white men are so miserable!

I'm sure very few people know about this. Inmates in 43 states are charged a per diem cost for "room and board" ranging between $40 to hundreds of dollars. In some states you owe for every day of your original sentence EVEN IF YOU GET OUT EARLY. www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

The @principlesfirst.bsky.social conference was just evacuated due to a bomb threat. This is after Enrique Tarrio and members of the Proud Boys showed up and tried to disrupt the conference yesterday.

the discover tab exists to punish you for posting good . like hey nice joke let’s put it up on the fridge in the black lodge

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

Found one of these in my kitchen and heard the Zelda "you got an item" sound

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

Confirmation needed but this was one way many folks pointed out that RFK Jr can destroy vaccines without simply taking them away. ACIP reviews data and makes recommendations about vaccine usage in the US.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

The words and actions of America’s leaders show they believe that having dark skin or having a vagina is a reason a person shouldn’t be allowed to pilot a plane, while having a drinking or drug problem is not. That’s their priority, and they’re fine with the flying public suffering the consequences.

I think industry taking advantage of men (sports betting, loot boxes, online dating, body issues like below (manorexia?)) has really come into its own recently, and whereas beauty standards for women have at least gotten feminist pushback, the male equivalent just furthers the grift.

I know there's like a thousand other things that are on fire, and that's the goal, but the fact that Trump is getting ready to just disband the USPS leadership board and take it over and we spent 4 entire years with Biden and Dems going "ah yeah, shame we can't do anything about DeJoy" is AAAAHHH

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I hope people who think you can separate 'positive' from 'toxic' masculinity are paying attention to narratives on the right, because it's very obvious that pushing the idea that young men need 'positive' masculine role models (protector, defender) is part of their overarching patriarchal project.

What in the absolute fuck is going on at the University of Cincinnati? For the record, trans men are just as biological as any other sort of man. They aren't made of metal or something.

Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally, the French fascist-but-not-quite-nazi party, cancelled his speech at CPAC after Bannon's heil hitler, so one of the main figures in the European far right recognizes it for what it is and is embarassed but US journalists cant and arent, just for context

Sure looks like Google News caught the Latin Times using a large language model to write an article picking up on my latest report

And they can eat a dick because they are going on strike because they dont wanna be held accountable. They want Commissioner Martuscello, whom my nonprofit has PERSONALLY worked with, fired because he is demanding accountability from those fucks. Their list of demands is SHIT

It really did change how I perceive the stakes in the series when they put Like a Dragon in Hawaii and changed from yen to $. Just beat the shit out of like ten guys in the Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii game and was rewarded with $3. Hardly seems worth all the violence

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

i find it comforting on a deep emotional level that Bruce Campbell sized up our present political moment and decided to become an anti-AI activist

The right has spent decades defunding and censoring education, eviscerating local news, and dumping billions into targeted propaganda campaigns in new media. People need to understand that reality just isn't even ACCESSIBLE to large swaths of Americans. Not an exaggeration.

This is incredibly smart by @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social, a lesson Democrats have to learn fast. There will be no a-ha moment for the electorate. You can't wait around for people to realize how bad it is if they'll invariably wind up blaming the Reverse Vampires. You just have to fight, right now.

Saw a follower of mine made a post about the biggest political gift the left gave to conservatives is saying people shouldn’t say “the r word” and I just blocked the guy because I don’t fuck with people saying that word and everyone who does sucks and is a 50 year old southpark guy

When I was 15 I called everything gay and then one of my friends pulled me aside and was like "hey when you do that you sound like an asshole and I don't think you want to be that kind of person" and she was right so I stopped.

Also I want to point out that if the left did this it would be the only thing in the news cycle for a year and people would have SWAT teams kicking down their doors Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This opposition tells you a lot about how often airlines destroy wheelchairs.

at some point he is going to personally smash something important to every single person in this country and it depends whether or not they can bring themselves to accept that he’s done it there is nothing here but an endless, rapacious desire to destroy

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

Two points on the whole AI crap. 1. I remember being an educator when wikipedia arrived on the scene, and our whole profession having absolute fits, forbidding students from referencing it etc. Wikipedia was and is GREAT for students. Now with AI? Immediate capitulation. bsky.app/profile/jkst...

in the time since I transitioned I've seen major institutions be forced grudgingly and slowly to support trans people, spend a few years absorbing plaudits for mouthing supportive things about us, and then drop us like hot rocks when the going gets tough the quintessential tranny experience

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

the richest man in the world decided that you don't deserve safe drinking water

Over half of the US Black population lives in the South in red states. So it's disgusting to see people use elections to blame everyone (including those who don't vote Republican) as a whole during disasters. It shows how badly US electoral politics fries people's sense of the world around them.

Here's something from 2017

Please, please archive your work. Please. I’ve recently been saving lots of my essays as pdfs just so the Internet doesn’t suddenly delete them all (this happened to a whole load of blogs I wrote for The Independent years ago). I don’t want you to wake up and suddenly find your work gone like I did.

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.
