“They were demolishing it gradually until they reached the main square and now, as you can see, there are no more houses"

Once you create a category of Bannable Speech, you've created a tool for the powerful to ban any speech they want; just put it in the Bannable category.

Oh my god, the bsky dev team is running actual site functions from their personal accounts and those functions break for any users they block? This is not how you run a company.
The biggest LOSER energy for white men who are tenured, and comfortable, and still complaining about DEI in higher education, really. We could power the planet with the screech of your whining because you have to see women, or people of color, or Black people, or disabled people at work.
Alexander Kustov reposted David Rozado @DavidRozado · 18h DEI Requirements in Faculty Hiring Have Declined New HxA Report: The share of U.S. full-time faculty job ads requiring applicants to address DEI fell from 25% in 2024 to 11% in 2025, a 56% relative decline. Thread 🧵
Privileged white men in academia still whining about/posting about DEI in 2026--what is wrong with you?
What do you want?
A systematic cull of academia so we only have various flavors of white men in various flavors of tweed jackets?
fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM
Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.
Embarassing.
A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”
it's important to remember that destroying the ability to tell truth from fiction is pretty much job one for an aspiring facsist dystopia and that's why the "data centers" are so important to them
You shouldnt have to have thick skin to be out at trans.
People should just simply not be irredeemable cunts.
Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...
Legitimate concerns when it's anti-immigrant.
"Fuck right off" when you're pro-immigrants.
This government is dysfunctional, deluded and deplorable.
This is eugenics.
Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
The extremely propaganda-driven right wing backlash to COVID protections was because they realized they finally found their moment to take the mask off and start killing the elderly and infirm en masse. Maybe the one functional bit of consent building they’ve pulled off in years
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking
Anyone bringing up IQ unironically is a pseudoscientific kook.
Anyone bringing IQ to ethnic groups and nationalities, is a fascist.
Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information
Men: don't be sociopaths.
Thanks.
I checked this too.

In local election purdah.
This is not normal. At all.
everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized
"holy shit! you were censored for believing in God?"
LOL no, not that
"for thinking it's appropriate to observe religious holidays in the workplace?"
haha no not that
"Which religious beliefs, exactly?"
oh, you know the ones
Must be awesome believing in neoliberalism...just find the right guy to lead so things will be good. To those people it's simple, there's no angst: neoliberalism can't fail, it can only BE failed. You can't criticise your team's candidate and, when they lose, you STILL can't complain about them.
Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.
And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.
