The rebels have liberated hundreds of women, toddlers and babies held in Sednaya prison.

They've also released hundred of prisoners some of which were tortured to the point of forgetting their own identity, others held for decades for speaking out against the regime. #freeSyria

We should start referring to age as ‘levels” … because being a Level 56 engineer is so much more badass than just being an “old guy”

I’m still losing followers on X and I have only 1/10th the followers here on Bluesky. I’d appreciate a follow and repost, add me to lists, and so on.

It’s hard to be sarcastic if no one’s listening. 👀

In my opinion, the word "smithereens" isn't used nearly enough as it should be. Do you agree???

Some right-wing tech bros wanted to build an AI-themed “network state” in San Francisco.

Their GoFundMe raised $0. Now their office is closed.

The vision of a one-square-mile tech campus in S.F. never amassed more than 20,000 square feet
Solaris, tied to controversial ‘Network State’ movement, will shut down on Jan. 1, well short of its vision.

I asked more than three dozen tech companies that sell, possess, or help analyze personal data whether they would help facilitate Trump's promised mass deportation operations—Only six responded, and only one said no theintercept.com/2024/12/02/l...
These Tech Firms Won’t Tell Us If They Will Help Trump Deport Immigrants
The Intercept asked data companies that store personal data if they will help Trump conduct mass deportations. Few had anything to say.

Billionaires in the U.S. are .0005% of the population, yet accounted for 18% of 2024 electoral spending.
Just 150 billionaire families spent nearly $2 billion.
This is not democracy. It is oligarchy.
Time to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Now here's a lovely story. 🍀

Many Brits have, because of Brexit, hunted through their Irish past to see if they could get an Irish (and thereby EU) passport.

Every problem opens opportunities. This is a beautiful little story of discovering ancestors - and some tips!

I remember when they banned websites in the early 2000s. I went through the whole list before the ban and looked at it all. Was mostly gore and horrific violence and misogyny …

And most of that was already in the forums they didn’t ban

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

Kenneth Ragland, the managing partner for Garland Apparel Group, told a newspaper bluntly: “Lots of people talk about Made in the USA as being so necessary, but when the rubber meets the road, most Americans want cheap goods, which do not make it easy for US firms to survive.”
