“Defying Legal Limits”. Seriously WTF is wrong with you? Why can’t you just speak the truth in plain English. This sort of obfuscation is not honest and we all know why you do it.

They don't care about a body count along the way to making an ideological point. But more than that, there is a wing of the movement that is decidedly "cull the herd," that thinks taking HGH and god knows what else will save them.
Cutting off cancer-treatment trials in the first week after Inauguration Day doesn't really seem like it says "The federal government is bad for you" so much as it says "We, the Trump administration, are here to make things bad for you"
No idea whether the propaganda machinery is going to successfully push all of this over regardless, but immediately demolishing everything the federal government does for everyone doesn't seem like the most obvious way to sell the story that your administration is here to make things better

There is still serendipity on the web, just have to make it past the slop layer of google, like scraping off the top layer of guac that's gone brown.

I will say two more things about the unconstitutional birthright citizenship order.

1. the order is horrifyingly unjust and wildly unconstitutional. It makes a mockery of constitutional text, history, and 150 yrs of precedent.

2. none of the “debates” that have emerged matter, given 1.

I say “I feel that” a lot for someone who hasn’t felt anything for years.

Oh did The Brutalist only use AI for a couple of drawings we see at the end for a few seconds? Wow ok. Sounds like they shouldn't have done it. Throw it in the garbage.

Use the plagiarism machine, get fucked. That's it

on the subject of optics i beseech everyone to take heed that yelling at the developers is both ineffective and makes criticism easy to dismiss because it is broad harassment.

this is a t&s issue.

we need to keep the focus on that. this is a leadership decision. don't yell at the coders jfc.

Civility is the silencer on transphobia

With or without the mask of politesse, people get killed
You can read their actions charitably, assume an automated system flapping around; but we all saw the un-suspensions, and we all saw the unlabelling when someone straight off linkedin cried "he was being civil".

Message received: hateful conduct is fine if you're bringing off-site clout to Bluesky.

the problem with takes like “jesse singal is just doing it for attention” is they massively underscore the fact that he is doing it bc he hates trans people

Singal is a uniquely slimy kind of transphobic shitbag. The very embodiment of the faux-concerned "just asking questions," intensely self-righteous, holier-than-thou shitlib, who cries and pisses himself and screams for the manager when anyone dares push back against anything he does ever.
He's also made it no secret his intent is to bring a bunch of like-minded bigots to Bluesky to harass the locals. He's actively making the site more unsafe, intentionally, with a specific group of people in mind to target. He should be banned.

If prosecutors ever enter my posts as evidence against me I’ll insist they include this one.
I would never do a crime. That’s illegal!

The bsky team has a choice to make:

- Safeguard the things that made this platform appealing to millions of people, and let them hope that good social media is possible

OR

- Shit their pants
kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

Jesse has spent the last six years promoting the notion that large numbers of children are transitioning without assessment — something for which there is no evidence.

He should be treated like anyone else peddling a false and harmful idea.
Jesse Singal's life's work is laundering transphobia into language that that cocktail party set finds palatable. This technique attacks a weakness of liberalism and democracy, and it's being exploited ruthlessly right now.

You have to treat the shtick like the thing it's pretending not to be.

So many Gazans just had jobs like so many of us- working on creating things on a computer. Just regular old jobs. And now they are struggling to find anything to eat. There’s no nearly as much distance between you and them as you may think.
I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shorouq. Shorouq was a graphic designer and has lost all of her equipment for doing that job due to bombings. She is hoping to raise enough money to evacuate her family of eight hopefully to Turkey and also rebuild her career.
