Really professional job here. Nice trifecta:
✅ Showing palpable disdain for users (unless they're powerful)
✅ Making policy up on the fly
✅ Spewing out corporate word salad

✅ Making policy up on the fly

We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

Pope Leo is certainly the only pontiff to even *possibly* be aware of MST3K, but even more importantly he is probably the only pope who's ever dropped a Simpsons quote in conversation

I'm sure that no Mississippians on SNAP live in food deserts where their best option is Dollar General, a store known for their abundant healthy, fresh, non-sugary food options.
Gov. Tate Reeves aims to ban Mississippi SNAP recipients from buying unhealthy foods in a bid to woo U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the State seeks federal funding for a rural health-care program.

I have no opinions on this suspension, but @adgwatches.bsky.social is one of my favorite posters and I might quit this place if she gets fed up and leaves.
Get your shit together, @moderation.bsky.app.

I need to know why @bsky.app has suspended Sarah Kendzior. I would like anyone, @aaron.bsky.team or @pfrazee.com or anyone at @support.bsky.team or @moderation.bsky.app can answer this question but I need to know. If it’s a non-answer I’m going to draw conclusions. We all know her work. Explain.

HBD Kurt Vonnegut, one of the best Americans ever. His Uncle Alex story is one of my absolute faves. Real hard these days to enjoy the lemonade but we really gotta try hard to keep our spirits up to fight these bastards.

NFL execs: "You know what sports fans love? You know what they crave? That's right -- never knowing when an obvious penalty should be called. Just flip a coin every time. Fans will eat that shit up."
Wait, you *can* call a false start on a QB sneak? Who knew!

No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

No. Furry porn was one of the founding pillars of Bluesky. If you remove it, the whole thing somehow sinks into 1930s-style German fascism for some reason.
Is there an art feed on here that isn't anime fan art and/or furry porn?

Honestly, this is the crux of Trumpism: The argument that the government and its agents should be allowed to break the law without consequence. They don't understand why they shouldn't be allowed this, nor do they care to understand.
what's so crazy-making about this oral argument (which I'll write about when it's done) is that the GOP justices are saying 'yes the officials knew they were violating his rights, but they didn't know they could be *sued and have to pay $$ for that, seems unfair'

"This accomplished a lot. It demonstrated that Democrats can go to the mat when the public is behind them and not pay a political price. It dramatically damaged Donald Trump... It just didn’t go far enough. The ball was fumbled at the end. So we need to demand more."
