I don't think Jay and her band of God's lost bets understand the degree to which everyone not currently on Bluesky has already decided it's the Faggy App for Trans Commies. They aren't going to come here just because you run us off! We're all that's keeping you from being Spoutible.

okay so if link is permabaned than the rules don’t matter anymore and we should stop pretending they do

enjoy the time you can on bluesky because one day you’re going to tell a transphobe that they are being a transphobe and you won’t have an account anymore either

I think the reason I did poorly in high school biology is I don’t know what a powerhouse is.

Jay🦋: “Harassment is bad!”

Us: “Oh cool so you’re going to ban known bigots who harass vulnerable users?”

Jay🦋: “LOL! No, I meant harassment of ME is bad!”

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

EA already ships janky and buggy products with actual humans doing the work, so I don't think they'll be bothered by AI churning out stuff that's as bad as or worse than they've already been.

I’m repeating myself, but it deserves saying again: IDW’s Star Trek Lower Decks comics are Very Good Indeed & there’s a darn good chance you’ll love them too. The stories by Ryan North & his colleagues are witty & clever & enthralling. Why miss out? Opt in. Don’t make me beam over & repeat myself.

Implicit in the "enjoy the camps" discourse is that liberals have no intention of doing anything whatsoever about said camps, should it come to that

I genuinely don’t know how sane, reasonable people are supposed to co-exist with the deranged ghouls on the right pumping out straight-faced nonsense like this, and the imbeciles who lap it up.

Once a long, long time ago I was on the phone signing up for car insurance. They asked for my SSN and without thinking I blurted out “007 373 5963”.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,

don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.

Don’t bother.

Please.

And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.

And they’re right.

I don’t mourn Nazis, and I don’t vote for anyone who does.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

Saying self-help platitudes doesn’t erase bigotry and advocating for genocide! This “neither of us had the whole picture” bullshit is fucking stupid. The ones calling him a Nazi and being glad he’s dead have the full picture, whether or not he was nice sometimes. Jesus fucking Christ.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

Hell of a game of King Kong just now. Climbed all the way to the top of the Empire State Building and … nothing happened. :( I was expecting some kind of crazy wizard mode! It was like 100 shots to get there.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

We played a few rounds then he said something shady and i said, "wait you're not a Trump supporter are you?" and he was like "oh no no no i'd never vote for Trump...."
(oh, phew)
"....he's way too far left for me."

i told him he was a shithead and walked away.

but man they're all over the place!

This is great thread on the killer's MO. If you are a journalist, please read it!

BTW, I met one of these dingdongs in person a few months ago. A young dude, totally normal looking. Bar in DC. I was there to play pinball, but i'm outgoing towards other pinball players. Anyway... 1/2
