Now perhaps might be a good time for the reminder of a truth always obscured:
Black People (not Black "women" -- ALL BLACK PEOPLE - ) are the practical always-voting correctly BASE of the Democratic party -- which in turn makes them the moral center of voting in America.

Y'all, ATProto is pointless and it just hit me why.
It's too complicated. Ok, so then your response will be "then we can educate and hold hands and explain and gain trust"
You do THAT and *boom* you ALREADY just solved the problem with humans that you were just trying to solve with complex tech.

why ATProto is pointless:
It would be orders of magnitude easier to build a (or better yet multiple) non-profit wikipedia-style "twitter" that just relied on non-tech trust, than it is to engineer a new protocol to do something that has NEVER REMOTELY been done well-- aka, "take it with you"

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

The way y'all are holding comedians to the moral standards of actual leaders is *deeply* goofy.
That's not their job. Their job is to point at the absurdity so people can see it. The more they do that, the better.

A few days ago I posted about how Mastodon was a better model than this place (while acknowledging that it presently is not very enjoyable at all)
and just about everyone *missed the point* that it's about STRUCTURE AND TECH, LONG TERM.
Imma need y'all to do better, esp with the Tiktok mess

I love when people say this because Mastodon has failed to get off the ground for over a decade. I remember making a account on it when Yahoo bought Tumblr, guys, stop trying to make fetch happen.
I keep telling people, *mastodon* is the only viable LONG TERM model. Yes, it kinda sucks at bringing EVERYONE in, but the way all the others, including bluesky, centralize stuff always ends up being the weak point

I get that it's WAY less fun now because it hasn't figured out how to broadly spread the good stuff
but just about any powerful centralization from a governance pov KILLS YOU

You don't need to *agree* with Hakeem Jeffries being lukewarm on Mamdani; but you do need to understand where it's coming from.
if you think it's because *Jeffries* is some kind of old school insider, you're an idiot.
It's a complex game and behind the scenes maneuvering matters, like it or not.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Reviewing old Clipse.
I now *get* why Malice had to quit.
He's *TOO* cold. Push is amazing, but he can handle his power.
Malice basically did the Luke Skywalker thing; had to be DRAGGED back because he feared his own power then :):):)

Okay, so while I don't like the "Democrats need to do more" because it's stupid
I think there's room for "Democrats need to SAY more."

Stop talking about how Black Women vote and start talking about how Black *People* vote.
It's better to be UNITED here; and while it's true we are slightly worse at it -- still -- If everyone voted like Black *Men* we'd be also doing perfectly well.

"No cops at Pride" is about the strategically dumbest thing y'all are on, given this particular moment.
Yeah, cops often a HUGE problem and need ALL kinds of reform. But the banhammer is dumb as hell.
