I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Game streaming services like GeForce NOW are getting more and more interesting, but I just can’t get them to work well for me. I think maybe I live too far from the Nvidia data center.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

@skeetsapp.com Just got started with the app and I’m loving it! I was just trying to share a URL, but when you touch and hold you get a menu for the post, not the URL. Any plans to add a share sheet for sharing URLs?

I know most people aren’t as picky about apps as I am, but I’m trying out Skeets for Bluesky and liking it a lot! I love Ivory, but without real Bluesky support it’s a pretty inconsistent experience. Skeets looks and feels great!

This app just shows you what the other apps controlled & wanted you to see. The other apps were purely charged off emotion & stealing your energy by putting the worst shit in your face.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
