It's really neat that I get to be one of the weirdos who lives in your phone. Here to post about scifi, TTRPGs, politics, civics and other nerd shit. On a quest to be the world's OK-ist swordsman.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

I am pretty sure my grand boss just used Copilot to summarize a chat to make a list of open action items for our VP...including one I did yesterday and she signed off on...

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

I tell my friends in Korea that right now, living in US is like living during the Chun Doo-hwan times, minus the mass murder. But at this rate, we are not even that far away from a mass murder.

Seems especially important right now to give these people $$ for dash cams
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Applicable in any group larger than three. I have done it at my TTRPG table (DMing for randos), on forums, and in anarchist groups. Have standards and stick by them or you will alienate people, expose folks to harm, and lose your purpose. And turn your space into a shitty one.
Synopsis: You need to kick more people out.
You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

Like Texas kind of is onto something that gas plants are both socially necessary in the short run but also unbuildable by private entities in their specific market because it’s the closest to a true spot energy market.

i completely agree that this is the key problem with Bluesky discourse right now: The Circumstances are genuinely toxic right now.
log off.
go scream at an inanimate object.
dig a hole.
continue digging until you've got a burrow.
hide in the burrow.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Odysseus was tasked with taking an oar inland until someone mistook it for a shovel, at which point he would be at the end of his journey.

u heard sharon, everyone post about their esoteric interests right fucking now. for the good of the community, we need to be hyperfixationmaxxing.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts

I'm not cool enough to have needed anything but Ye Olde Nuclear Blocke, but this is exciting news for any folks that get targeted for harassment.
That said, we know people want more safety tools, so @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social and I are building them!
Here's what that looks like in our client. My post got a lot of interactions and then a big account reposted it, so alerts showed up and I have tools to deal with it.
Give us more ideas!
