Newspack publisher @atavist.com inspired another @netflix.com documentary series! Congratulations to the Atavist Magazine team on a successful investigation that illuminates the realities we all need to face about social media's negative impacts on children.
Everyone’s talking about Netflix’s new docuseries “Bad Influence”—but did you know it all started with a story from Automattic’s own @atavist.com?

“Crushed,” a longform investigation from The Atavist, exposed the dark side of YouTube stardom and the role parents played behind the scenes.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.
Dear recently fired, federal, employees,
Apply for UCFE unemployment benefits ASAP !!!

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Quotable Quotes: Stillness in Uncertainty

Well-being of body is like a mountain. A lot happens on a mountain. It hails, and the winds come up, and it rains and snows. The sun gets very hot, clouds cross over, animals shit and piss on the mountain, and so do people. People leave their trash, and…
Quotable Quotes: Stillness in Uncertainty
Well-being of body is like a mountain. A lot happens on a mountain. It hails, and the winds come up, and it rains and snows. The sun gets very hot, clouds cross over, animals shit and piss on the mountain, and so do people. People leave their trash, and other people clean it up. Many things come and go on this mountain, but it just sits there.

At this rate a US collapse is imminent. This isn’t sustainable, some states will have to choose to secede to stay afloat.

Kevin Can F**k Himself: A Deep Dive into Dark Comedy

At first glance, Kevin Can F**k Himself appears to be your run-of-the-mill bright lights, laugh-tracked sitcom, complete with the goofy, possibly problematic husband, Kevin, and his long-suffering, nagging wife, Allison. But here’s the twist:…
Kevin Can F**k Himself: A Deep Dive into Dark Comedy
At first glance, Kevin Can F**k Himself appears to be your run-of-the-mill bright lights, laugh-tracked sitcom, complete with the goofy, possibly problematic husband, Kevin, and his long-suffering, nagging wife, Allison. But here’s the twist: every time Allison steps out of Kevin’s orbit, the cameras switch to a dramatic and muted format, and the laugh track fades away. This jarring transition exposes the ugly truths lurking beneath the cheerful facade.

It’s not about Trump supporters. It’s about giving the 75m people who DIDNT VOTE something to vote for

Legitimate discussions on this platform offer that path
It's only powerful if the Trump Supporters are reading what we see and communicating with questions.
It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.

They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

For over 500 years colonial entities have justified genocide, repression, and subjugation by their religious (Christian) boundaries. The argument in this upcoming case is fully in line with that tradition. One more step in a long march...
ALERT: Mahmoud v. Taylor is going to be a big (and likely bad) case.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is representing the plaintiffs suing the school district. Here is the question they presented to the court, review of which was granted today.
