Bluesky is quickly becoming the opposite of Twitter but for the left. This 'you either agree with me completely and utterly or you're my enemy' mindset is toxic, no matter what brand. It's the reason I left the other site. I believe it may soon be time to not use either of these platforms.

A lot of people are quoting this blog post. But when the writer immediately calls Graber a transphobe without any real evidence, the piece devolves into what it actually is: a reactionary hit piece because they are upset about Bluesky's moderation systems.

I think it's more for the amusement of his baying audience. These are the people that misunderstand the whole point of Squid Game.
Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

MrBeast had a contestant TRAPPED inside a BURNING house to win $500,000 in his new video [link]
@MrBeast
This blew up, if you're curious obviously we had ventilation for the smoke and a kill switch to cut off the fires. We had professionals test this extensively and the guy in the video as stated is a professional stunt man. I take safety more serious than you could ever imagine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiabsfag6dgkray5p5pppzlk4rvti2quhuao6bejuf7mnplkssx7q4@jpeg)

It's so weird seeing wrestlers in these real, important press conferences. Like, does that Saudi dude even know there's an undead wizard standing right behind him.

The Silksong discourse is almost identical to that for a new Souls game. What an incredible accomplishment. Started seeing people say there should be difficulty settings.

I forgot how much Hollow Knight is just Dark Souls. And in terms of "unforgiving" mechanics Silksong is so much nicer than the first game. You can just go to Bone Bottom and buy a rosary chain and boom you no longer have to worry about losing them. Also spend those things ASAP.

This is so weird. Either nobody knows nothing, or someone is hiding something.
Following an extraordinary press briefing by the security chiefs of Lesotho that a rebel army was being trained on farms in South Africa, the SA Department of International Relations and Cooperation has declined to comment.

This is what South African media is up against. The top story Google is serving South Africans today is fake news from an ad revenue farming AI generated schlock page from India.
