Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Dear Modern Humans,

You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.

Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.

It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Trump won the popular vote by 1.5% this year, which according to @piersmorgan.bsky.social was Democrats getting "pounded into total, shameful, humiliating oblivion."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: "Would you have said the same thing about [Trump] in 2020 who lost by a 4.5% margin nationally?"

"No."

Blue Sky team, you're building something special and great here. Keep at it. Stick with it. And please don't sell it to an evil billionaire who's going to come around waving a lot of money to gobble it up.

Sincerely, a Happy Blue Sky user.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

The fact that China doesn't like people switching to Bluesky seems like another sign that it's a great thing

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

Even op X gaan kijken. Dat brooddozen "absoluut niet mannelijk" zijn volgens de gesponsorde Muskmaagden: prima. Maar dat de CEO van een Vlaams bouwbedrijf duizend neplikes binnenharkt met onbenullige en seksistische bagger over een jonge 11.11.11.-medewerker, is waarom ik steeds meer afhaak.

Two thoughts on the Trump tariff threat re: Canada and Mexico.

1) There's a plucky island kingdom off the coast of France that can tell Trump all about what happens when you suddenly intorduce costs and friction to decades old supply chains with your neighbours.

Fascinerend.
New paper: Do social media algorithms shape affective polarization?

We ran a field experiment on X/Twitter (N=1,256) using LLMs to rerank content in real-time, adjusting exposure to polarizing posts. Result: Algorithmic ranking impacts feelings toward the political outgroup! 🧵⬇️
