Please, stop pretending that Sam Bankman-Fried was some big time democrat or progressive person.That's a lie.

He did all his GOP donations through dark money to fool gullible people. Don't be one of the gullible people.

SBF admitted as much in his own words.

And please, stop acting like SBF was left leaning, or disproportionately supported Democrats' politicians. That's a lie. SBF said himself, that he gave exactly the same amount to Dems as GOP. He said...

My one creative writing professor in college told the class that science fiction wasn't real literature and he didn't want to see any for the class, which is why I have never once written a science fiction story since

Fascism and hate are on the rise in countries with censorship regimes too, so they don't seem to stop that. Yet, once they get into power, they now have the tools right at their disposal to suppress all dissent.

See the flaw in that plan?

Kīlauea Volcano on Hawaii's main island has started erupting.

Kīlauea is erupting again, and there are great live views RIGHT NOW of lava fountaining in the crater from one of the USGS webcams. The eruption is currently confined to the crater. ⚒️🧪

Hello w̵o̵r̵l̵d̵ Bluesky!

Thanks to @danielskatz.bsky.social for the invite code to this place.

I'm still setting myself up. First impression: this place looks a 𝘭𝘰𝘵 like Twitter 🫨 (Not surprising, I know.)
