Really disappointed to see that the majority of the art feeds here explicitly state that they filter out anything AI/NFT related. Suddenly realizing why so many artists I know have told me they don’t feel welcome on BlueSky even though BlueSky sees itself as being by very artist friendly.

I don't find this surprising, but I do hope media companies learn from the latest poll that shows people do not, for the most part, think they should pay for news. It's time to think about a different approach.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

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.]

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Exceedingly reasonable is one way to describe them. Another is flaccid.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.
It was a "sideshow," I was told.

It’s never been a thing in the US. US history is a long story of “moving on” and “looking forward” to avoid holding anyone in power accountable.

Back in the Web 2.0 blog wars, we used to have a whole category on blogging dot LA of NYT articles bashing Los Angeles then being shocked when an out of towner “discovered” something redeemable.
The New York Times has done as much as any Big Journalism organization to badmouth San Francisco in recent years. Now it pretends to discover -- by quoting visitors -- that the image isn't the reality.
No doubt, the doom-loop crap will return soon.

From the new 'We're Not Kidding', Jennifer Welch (@ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social) and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social slam the Democrats for not releasing the Epstein files during Joe Biden's presidency.

MeshCore already working a little better than meshtastic for me so far, I think. Or at least I seem to be able to communicate more easily. Channels are less confusing. We’ll see! I’m running both lol.
