the big tech world has wanted to be as openly ‘anti-woke’ as elon musk has been, they’ve long agree with him but figured social sentiment was firmly against reactionary world views. now that musks gambit paid off, we’re going to be seeing more of this for awhile
Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion
clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power

I was talking with a reporter the other day about this. They asked why I thought guys like Bezos, Soon-Shiong, and Zuckerberg were suddenly so open with their Trumpy politics. I said that I thought it was because Elon Musk showed them that they could and they wouldn't face any real repercussions.

It feels to me like many, many, many corporations are living in the handful of days post-election when it seemed like Trump had won by a much larger margin than he had. Maybe that’s the safe bet, and I know these guys think trans people are annoying, but it seems like doing capitalism wrong to me.

Happy felon #FAFO day! Even though this sentencing won’t have much teeth, the fact that he will go down in history as a felon burns his biscuits.

Bluesky, I've had to use this a couple of times today:
If someone posts a comment on your post that you don't want others to see, you can hide it!
Click the three dot next to their message and choose "Hide reply for everyone"
Stay safe and sane 💙💙

1. I reiterate that I don't think bots/trolls get how comprehensive the "block" function here is.
2. I also think they don't quite get how prevalent "don't engage, just block" is as an ethos here.
3. Bluesky is a neighborhood party: everyone is welcome until they're a jerk. Then out they go.

Hi I'm Dylan and go by DBHT14 on Reddit. I focus mostly maritime history, with side interest in the history of collegiate sports, rum, and cocktails.
My favorite post ive ever worked on was this about the real history in the Wellerman shanty from 2020 earworm fame!

It's not a lie that the hardest thing for me about "don't engage, just block" has been not adding the sarcastic kiss-off just before the block. I lived for that shit. But, one, that's still engagement, which is what they want, and two, they don't deserve my effort, I'll save that for the worthy.
The urge to reply with extreme sarcasm has been hard to resist. I realize it's wasted on them and now i just block them all.

1. YouTuber Becca Farsace (formerly of The Verge) put out a video outlining her ethical guidelines for reviews, promotional trips, sponsorships and so on, which I think is both smart to do, and an acknowledgement that the line between reviews and advertisement is often fuzzy.
