i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

Once these Let Billions Suffer voters see how gruesome letting billions suffer gets they will surely come crawling back to the Let Millions Suffer party and we’ll finally be able to win elections without catering to those troublesome Nobody Should Suffer radicals

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Capitalism poisons society to see everything as a zero-sum game in which the highest priority is the exploitation of others in any given situation. It's fundamentally you vs. the world.

Cord Jefferson, quitting Instagram, sums many things up:

“I don’t need Instagram to be a haven for free speech for the same reason I don’t need a Jamba Juice or a Hooters to be a haven for free speech.”

JUDGE: As for the issue of bail?
ME: Bail, your honor?
PUBLIC DEFENDER: Oh. You can—you can pay gems to speed up the jail timer.
JUDGE: Did defense counsel not explain the gem packages yet?
PUBLIC DEFENDER: *sigh* For $49.99 you get 2200 gems plus 500 free. That’s the most popular option

Work from home was a boon to productive workers and an absolute catastrophe for the group of middle managers and executives who make their living putting their names on other people's work and that latter group started to undermine it as soon as they realized this.
I do not understand why, after remote work has been repeatedly proven to be just as productive (if not more so) than in-office work, people should be required to return to in-office work in order to justify the money the bosses spent on real estate.
Demanding that people go back to the office five days a week has been shown to punish staff who are lower-income, parents, and disabled. It is also not necessary for reporters and journalists who do much of their work in the field, on the phone, or on laptop computers that can be used anywhere.

I regret to inform you, dear reader, that in my heart of hearts, I do not identify as a Poster. I am without the juice. I am but a humble lurker, sprinkling likes and reskeets all about.

either people specify what they mean when they say “elite” or the term is just meaningless pejorative. both parties are dominated by elites in any conventional sense of what that means! the question is: why are right-wing elites more palatable to voters than liberal ones?
