I've seen a whole lot of lawyer-induced public statements and believe me when I say with full confidence that this sequence of words is 100% charbroiled

eugh

*slaps the Button in a privacy-safe way* you can fit so many KPIs in this thing

yes! exactly!

it's a supercharged "annotation toy". basically the kind of thing you can only ever get value out of if your day already consists mostly of writing emails and waiting to vest

gen z boss and a mini ass product

feels like a lot of people are missing the plot, all of this shit isn't meant to be "bought" it's meant to be allocated to various members of the turbo-bourgeoisie

it's a Gattaca situation

that's how it be sometimes

"listens only when you tap it" wow cool you invented my ex-husband

lol

take care of yourself sheev

I've got a few thousand words in me

by all means, you go first

bad news folks. Woke 2 is just rainbow capitalism

this shit's just gross

the fact that this is all anyone seems to be talking about on this website is all the proof you really need that Bluesky is fully captured by Funko Pops Millennials

I don't want or need a conspiracy parody content mill run by the 40-year-old boyfriend half of a terminally-online political media microcelebrity power couple and creatively directed by the one Scientologist somehow even more insufferable than Tom Cruise

clearly we need a Kid Rock of the left

I walk into a rough classroom of rural whites. They pay no attention until I turn my chair around backward and sit down. I reveal my mandolin and begin playing. “Go ahead,” I say “bluegrass your troubles at me.” It’s working. I am reaching them.

working-class white southerners (of which Trump supporters are a statistical minority) are largely already progressive in the same way working-class non-white southerners are, because our system of political representation is designed to disenfranchise the working class

but you know that already

i do not "predict". i do not "run calcs", i do not "mindgame", i do not know "speed tiers" i click TRICK ROOM. and if it doesnt work, I DON'T WIN

One of my more heterodox takes is that leftist orgs need to be doing more to recruit guys who own/operate a business run out of a beat-to-shit john boat

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

a no-lessness

damn

and that very detection capacity! is simply the capacity for human empathy, right? to recognize and love others, regardless of whatever differences

and the people that can't or won't do that, they're so easy to trick with this shit, because they simply don't know to look for what's missing

it's not a new idea that, like, colonialism is always first and foremost the practice of subsuming culture
