We had a good ten years where a bunch of nobodies like us could report on power centers and structural inequality and abuses of power and citizens from government, employers and their surrogates. The end of Twitter as that vehicle really was the end of that, which was obviously the point.

The numbers of those who don't affiliate with any religion are surging in the U.S., but only 4% of Americans self-identify as "atheist." With the term comes stigma, which makes many reluctant to embrace it. But why? Should the lack of religious belief be looked upon any differently than belief?
Confessions Of An Atheist In America
With more and more Americans identifying as non-religious, why is there still a stigma hanging over atheism?

Would be super nice if creators didn't have to spend all this time and energy and grief weighing the reliability and the ethical decisions of the services upon which we rely to, you know, live.

So I'm hearing Trump got arrested, and people are sad BlueSky didn't give us updates like Twirter'd have.

Apparently we missed a crane in Chicago too? Or something?

Counterpoint: you don't need to know about a crane, or moment to moment updates on indictment that will take literal years to resolve

I absolutely agree.
Bob Seger's music is better than Bruce Springsteen's. It's not particularly close. Springsteen just benefits from being from NY/NJ.

How many of you used garbage as toys as kids? These green strawberry boxes always became cages and traps.

I understand, on some level, that people dying from COVID due to their own political beliefs is still a systemic issue, and I do genuinely believe that we should change the system to minimize suffering and death wherever possible. It's just that I got a lot going on.

This. It's like ad-free tumblr.
honestly, bluesky is the most entertaining social platform to browse right now because i feel like i'm seeing a constant stream of mixed content made by ACTUAL HUMANS. from beautiful art to unfiltered shower thoughts. no ads, no algorithm. it's great

Wait, his indictment was 45 pages? Did the DoJ plan that or...the coincidence is strong.
Lizzos 44 page lawsuit dropping the same day as Trumps 45 page indictment. It’s barbenheimer all over again
