Jordan and I made a playlist of what’s inspired the new record we’ve been working so hard on. You’ll have to be patient on that bad boy, so maybe this can help:

I also think it's really important to note that
THE NATIONAL GUARD IS STILL IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
and
PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING KIDNAPPED IN MAINE AND LOS ANGELES
So even if they leave Minnesota, the struggle to end the kidnappings continues

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.
Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

racism as bluesky policy
palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]

the burden of proof is on the mother-fucker asserting something.
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

Between this and the Pitchfork article saying "there's nothing we can do to stop AI..." or whatever, its hard to see it any way other than extremely harmful corporate propaganda. Any reporting on AI that does not center it as a existential risk to climate/water/collective health, is not legitimate.

I stumbled on a new (to me) version of one of my favorite @brosaleigh.bsky.social songs just now! 😊
I didn't think that I'd live past the age of twenty-two
It goes to show what young kids know
Guess I should start to invest in this body
What good's the water with no shore?

Thank god that sadness is easy
Tried holding onto anger, but it holds me
Poetry through chapped lips, your teeth chipped
"It depends on how you look at it."
It's what I thought I deserved
A pleasure not a burden
The fire not thе ashes
