We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care. I wrote about it: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

No. The protest movement against the genocide has been militantly and explicitly nonviolent (and yes, those things can co-exist). You do not get to blame a violent accelerationist shitposter on a ground movement that has from the start renounced violence.

"Following multiple employee-led protests against the company's contracts with the Israeli military, Microsoft workers discovered that any emails they send containing the word 'Palestine' inexplicably disappear." Same with 'Gaza,' 'apartheid,' and 'genocide.' #USA #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

Reservations. They're pushing Palestinians onto reservations. They're manipulating the food + starving children to do it. And it's a for profit enterprise: apnews.com/article/gaza...

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

This is true, but the problem is that Democrats won’t do anything that will threaten actual power or give any to regular people. They just want it for themselves and their donors—many of whom are the same corporate interests that killed these newspapers in the first place.

UPDATE: UnitedHealth deliberately changed patients to "do not resuscitate' so that they would be left to die in any medical emergency as they considered especially critically ill patients to be 'a waste of money' regardless of patient's desire to live.

If you use "A.I." to publish something it has to come with the professional death penalty. You cannot work in news ever again. Yes I know that's not how it actually goes – so many plagiarists are still thriving – but if it is up to me you are fucking done. Pack up your shit and hit the bricks.

12 data centers have requested 6 gigawatts of new electricity generation in Nevada, which would amount to a 40% expansion of the state's power sector. We found the projects could also consume billions of gallons of water in the nation's driest state. <Now sharing my deep dive with a gift link.>

I feel like this is part of the point somehow. They insist on using AI unnecessarily, to replace things of obvious value with nonsense—and they do it on purpose. It’s a flaunting of careless contempt for humanity.

It’s not making it into most newspapers but people in Gaza are not only being starved to death and denied essential medical care like cancer treatments but they are also still being slaughtered by missiles on a daily basis. Tens of people are dying every day.

As @blackamazon.bsky.social has stated before; the point of the techbro political movement is removal of consent, fundamentally the part underlying all rights. It's not "sliding into fascism" when the whole point was to build dictatorship from day one.

Bluesky was built by the marginalized, and they're still the lifeblood of what is now the only inclusive large-scale social media community. The victims of the genocidal attacks in Gaza are a vital part of this community. @moderation.bsky.app is silencing many of these people, and it needs to stop.

DOGE defunded the National Weather Service and the local Kentucky office now no longer has an overnight emergency forecaster. The result? Kentucky got a tornado and were understaffed to warn & put measures in place. The state now has 20 dead. But at least there's no DEI or pronouns, I guess?
