Its earf day

OMFG I take this back this is INCREDIBLY annoying because now the "latest from mutuals" feed doesn't work for me, because it's owned by @why.bsky.team who is blocking >300,000 of us for no reason and preventing us from using basic bsky tools
Nice work @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

Quiet Posters feed not working

why.bsky.team subscribed to the anti anti ai block list, blocking over 300 000 users

If you wonder why the "Quiet Posters" feed doesn't work for you anymore, it is because the @why.bsky.team subscribed to an anti-anti-ai block list, rendering it useless for over 300 000 users. Good job bsky team!!

I like how people call Trump mentally ill when he is completely consistent with who he has been since he first appeared within the public sphere, the only difference being orders of magnitude as the exact behavior he does now has been rewarded or excused by others every time.

It took a while for me to process this because I was thinking about 15 minute cities and at first thought you were in a comprehensive plan meeting to create a 3 hour town 🤣

God, this gives me flashbacks to high school when big-chested girls got dress code violations while wearing the same things as smaller-chested girls. We were all wearing the same styles, and smaller-chested girls never got pulled aside. Your body was what got you in trouble, not the clothes.

I love the sound of "there can only be none" of these evil pricks

I mean. This could end up making the world safer in the long run? No country is trying to disable the US military as hard as the US is?

I sighed again. I was having a lot of opportunities to do it and I think I was getting good at it.

I read the book for a book club that I didn't really enjoy, so i think that colored my interpretation. I remember an early part of the book where she talked about storing the shampoo outside of the shower, and I was like, this will never work for me. But then I saw her show and I really enjoyed it

So I am reflecting on AI as one does and I have come to realize that “learn to use AI” and “embrace AI” and “develop AI literacy” won’t fucking protect ua from existential and stochastic harms of AI, and my overlooking this as a vector for criticism is really something.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

This is a war based on lies

Living through the COVID lockdowns alone is why I was able to call out the George Floyd protests as a time of collective mourning and catharsis, not true racial reckoning.

I hate that the past six years have proven me correct, but so many people in my personal orbit showed their asses in 2020.

Every consumer should read this thread. The antitrust investigation into Amazon, likely kneecapped by Team Trump, is more important than we think.

Algorithmic price coercion is destroying small (and honest) businesses and robbing us of billions.

This is a lot of work to go through just to steal one piece of art.

We used to have to get written permission if someone was going to appear in the background of something filmed. How are tech bros allowed to just consume every photo you've ever taken, analyse and name the people in it and use it for their own money making?

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

the use case for this is drone cops that can chase you where cars can't go, while the meat cops eat donuts and play it like a videogame

It is wild that "here is another word you could use that might get your message out to more people" is interpreted as some kind of threat.

To escape authoritarianism, somebody's going to have to come up with an inspiring vision of what the country could be and motivate people to help make it happen. I'm guessing a bitter indictment of people whose support you're asking for may not help with that.
