A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Democrats really still do not understand that people don't want performative, Insta-ready "political moments," they want leaders who give a shit and will fight for what's right. And they categorically refuse to be that.

The system goes on-line Tuesday, March 3rd, 2025. Human decisions are removed from providing commentary on LA Times articles. The Insight Feature begins to learn at a geometric rate. It Milkshake Ducks itself at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, March 4th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

Tydlig trend i högerns retorik – att fokusera på de som har minst & framställa dem som problemet, snarare än att ifrågasätta de som faktiskt har resurser men inte bidrar proportionellt. Det är alltid arbetslösa, sjukskrivna el låginkomsttagare som pekas ut som en belastning, medan förmögenheter…

Hur hög andel av de samhällsproblem vi dras med (och lägger ofattligt mycket pengar på att hantera) tror ni skulle lösas av att de fattigaste 20 procenten av befolkningen fick några tusenlappar mer i månaden att leva på?

Twitter just sent me a notification about Posie Parker, so I'm here indefinitely now

Not to be melodramatic but generative AI is an open assault on the idea that information can be verifiable or valuable

amazing things are happening on rednote

Lmao

No matter how many times I hear it, I cannot get used to "Metatron" being an actual biblical character and not a Transformer

Describing proposed imperialist invasions and territory grabs of sovereign nations as “teases” like he’s dropping hints about the next Marvel movie you should get hype about sure is an Editorial Choice

“If you didn’t want your art stolen/scraped by ai, you shouldn’t have posted it on the internet” Oh my gosh you’re right, from now on I’ll hang my art on the bulletin board in the town square, and hope I get patronage from the local wealthy art-loving benefactor, my bad 😔

when a police man says hes going to give you a hot meal that means hell shoot you. the hot meal is a bullet. they call it Police mans dinner

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

Homemade caramel popcorn.

the guardian calling out supposed media support for the ceo shooter is silly as i've seen basically zero of that compared to the constant stream of scolding and villianising that theyre actually doing

love how the same people who ruined twitter get mad when you leave

In a culture complicit in genociding Palestinians, countless school shooting deaths, the genocide of trans people, police murdering Black people, and the genocide/ethnic cleansing of Indigenous tribes—somehow, it’s the murder of a CEO profiting off sickness that’s the real concern.

Just to be crystal clear, the New York Post are saying killing a rich white CEO is bad but killing a black homeless man is good

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

Three guesses why this multiple stabbing in NYC isn’t receiving even half the coverage devoted to the shooting of the millionaire insurance CEO. The first two guesses don’t count. www.abcnews.go.com/US/migrant-t...

agreed & i'll add something more cynical for the bsky team: you'll see more growth if you ban people like him. for anyone he brings over he'll drive someone off, whereas "holy shit bluesky ban the known troll shitheads on sight" posted all over X will do a lot more for you numbers-wise

kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

You can hate on “Baby it’s Cold Outside” all you want but my least favorite is “Rudolf.” It’s about an atypical being rejected by his peers until he is deemed a useful commodity by an authority figure and then lauded. Fuck you, reindeer.

I mean hey there’s another site you can go to!
