I’m sorry, but bluesky is THRIVING…

Remember what you are fighting for

People complain about the male loneliness crisis but then god forbid men try to have social hobbies

there’s about 7 trillion% more discourse about ai on this website than any actual realized impact from ai warrants

“Hasan Piker contributes to a New York Times piece about how shoplifting could actually be a form of praxis” is like a concept laser-focused on getting my brain to mercy kill me

I don’t like the societal impacts of cars, I think that auto centric urban design has been extremely disasterous for my country and the planet generally, I manage to not scream HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY KILLING THE PLANET when I see someone whose hobby is cars talking about them.

no it is actually pretty nuts to flip out on everyone who says “I find Claude useful!” or some equivalent like they personally are Elon Musk or Sam Altman. you can dislike the societal impacts of a widely used consumer product without being a psycho to everyone who uses it.

this post, about an entirely reasonable, optional, personal, non-generative use of AI *still* attracting weird hate is what people are talking about when they say some people are nuts about this stuff

I'm sorry it's just weird to see a story putting forth someone who went back out for mercenary service as anti-war, I need a minute

I believe that we will win. But the fact that these monsters will one day be out of power does not remedy the lives they’ve ended or ruined irrevocably.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

You cut WHAT off of a water buffalo?

someone who is good at news please help, my brain is dying

KTeaTime, a handy timer for tea steeping times with presets

Open Secrets is a right-wing psyop to convince people that the government can’t be trusted and every candidate is corrupt.

There’s no other way I can explain the insane decision to represent donations from an Amazon driver as donations “from Amazon”

In the meantime, some relevant reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle...

Counterpoint: we should fuck over rural Virginia because it is hitlerite and deserves it

I dunno about 100% but I am at least 70% on 'the FSB did the apartment bombings in 1999'

My hottest, most scorching airport take is:

arrive as early as you want, no one can task you when you’re there. Responsibility doesn’t exist.

Oh, there’s an ask from work? WiFi is down. You’re boarding. You’re disembarking.
