jason koebler post: so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff, with link to 404. media article truth social post by trump, calling the democratic party the party of hate, evil and satan THE FEDERALIST: While this alleged assassin used Discord, there are other platforms that are cesspools of left-wing radicalism — where the standard-bearers of the American liberal movement are openly cheering Kirk’s assassination. Another such platform is Bluesky. While Apple, Amazon, and Google removed the social media app Parler from their platforms after it was falsely said to have had a connection with the January 6 riot at the Capitol, they are silent on the fact that Discord and Bluesky are allowing the celebration and encouragement of political violence. The Big Tech oligarchs could use some encouragement, perhaps in the form of legal liability. Blueskyism American political pundit Nate Silver wrote about Blueskyism early september. In the article, Silver first sets out the statistics of how user activity on Bluesky is declining (which it is). Then he follows with the statement that Blueskyism predates Bluesky, and describes Blueskyism as behaviour Silver does not approve of: criticising people on other parts of the political spectrum, valuing academic authority, and being too dissatisfied with the current state of the world. Blogger and centrist pundit Noah Smith followed up on Silver’s writing about Blueskyism, in a blog titled ‘The Bluesky-ization of the American left’. The article is mainly about grievances that Bari Weiss got criticised too hard on Twitter in the late 2010s, and how he’s upset that Jamelle Bouie called Smith a ‘a weird antisocial loser’. On the surface these articles are simply grievances from centrist pundits who are extremely online and are very bothered that people on Bluesky criticise them. They are trying to paint a picture of Bluesky as a network in decline. Their articles do not mention it at all, but at least Silver is explicitly aware how important Bluesky has become to the scientific community. However, both articles serve two important purposes: It provides moral cover for people who might otherwise grapple with the implications of being active on X that it’s fine to do so because Bluesky is not a real alternative. It sets up a permission structure where Bluesky is seen as a left and democratic space. This is what makes both articles relevant. I think their arguments are petty and show that they have not grappled with the subject matter well, but that matters little: it is a major contributor to the idea that Bluesky is a ‘left’ space.

I know you’re being sardonic but there was an old game for the Apple II called “Car Builder” and the “ideal” chassis design that would get highest marks in the wind tunnel test looked almost EXACTLY like the Cybertruck
