DNC: We can't accept Zorhan Mamdani because we think he is Antisemitic.
Also DNC: We will accept Marjorie Taylor Greene who is an antisemite into the party.
Is it any wonder why people fucking hate the Democrats right now?

Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Cruelty really is the point with you isn’t it?
You ban people seeking help who are being murdered in an active genocide.
Trans users are sent death threats all the time and you don’t care.
You have allowed violent racist behavior against BIPOC since Bsky’s inception.
Tell me HOW your answer is no.

Our answer is no.
Conflating the topic of the discussion as support for the cause is a separate issue.
We’ve drawn this line since users have spoken repeatedly that they don’t want violent rhetoric here.
It’s just a near impossible task to do at scale consistently across languages/context.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

I am not kidding when I say this is idolatry and blasphemy. It is wicked and will prey on people Jesus loves. I call on the church to declare this anathema.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
