Masslive "reporting" dangerous, false information from the Bristol Cty DA office. And big surprise, they used AI as well.

@masslive.bsky.social is trash, just like the DA and whatever Healthcare professional decided to give narcan to an awake person who didn't take any drugs (if that even happened)
Generative AI was used to organize and structure information for this story, based on data provided by the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. It was reviewed and edited by MassLive.com.

I do genuinely believe that the Bluesky team set off from the start to create a decentralized protocol, but unfortunately for them they ended up running a social network. And at this point, AT Proto has become essentially a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform.

Moomin comic frame. Moomin is wading through some flowers and says "Hullo, Stinky, don't disturb me. I'm collecting herbs under the full moon" Stinky says, with an obviously edited speech bubble, "aren't you ever going to stop masking?"

Haven't been watching many movies lately. Deaf President Now! was fantastic, I cannot recommend it enough.
Movie posters for Death of a Unicorn, Deaf President Now!, Never Let Me Go, and Mickey 17.

I can't keep changing my email address like this, please, I am so tired, just make it stop
screenshot of the proton.me welcome page/menu of different programs including Proton Mail, Calendar, Drive, and at the bottom an AI assistant called Lumo. "Chat with a private AI assistant" there's a black scribbled circle around the AI assistant option and the words "are you FUCKING kidding me" on top

Questions from the children of Gaza, as compiled by staff from the Palestine Trauma Center

(Reposted with #AltText)
• After we die, will I hear your voice? • When I die, will they put me in a grave with my mom and dad? • When it rains, will we drown in the tent? • When they bomb the tent, will we burn? • Why do they always bomb us? • If they bombed someone while I was walking next to him, would I be martyred? • When a missile hits us do we feel pain or die immediately? • I don't want to die in pieces. • Will the dogs that ate the dead bodies of the martyrs turn into humans? • Do children who have their legs amputated grow new legs? • Why is the boy's face covered in blood? • When will we die and get rid of the bombing and the Israelis? • Do the pilots who bomb children have children? • Every day you say that tomorrow the war will end. • How many years have we been at war? • I want to go to heaven because there is no fear of war, and it has everything. • When will we stop waiting and standing in line for fresh water and salty water? • When will we go back to school? • When will we have our room back and the displaced people return to their homes? • When will the war end? • When will the destruction and death end?

Wait this is way too close to a parody headline someone posted on like the day after the primary lmaooo

mamdanitimes.com
Screencap of the web page mamdanitimes.com. Text at top in the Times font says "The New York Times," Underneath is a fake headline in italics: "Mamdani's Economiv Message Failed to Move These Trump Voters in Rural Tennessee Diner" In the middle there's a button to "publich another", social media links to share, and a disclaimer saying the page isn't affiliated with the New York Times or Mamdani's campaign

MASSACHUSETTS: Print and share!

-Bilingual LUCE ICE Hotline awareness flyer
(They have lots on their site but I wanted one with both english and spanish, so I edited it a bit)

-Bilingual "Know Your Rights" Flyer with space to hold red cards (I used a ziploc bag and tape to make a pocket)
black and white flyer with speech bubbles. text inside reads: 'See ICE? Vió ICE? Call the LUCE Hotline. Llame a la linea de LUCE. (617) 370-5023. Que hacemos? Verificamos avistamientos de ICE. Lo apoyamos a ejecer sus derechos ante la migración. Compartimos información verificada para protoger a la comunidad. What do we do? Verify ICE sightings. Support you in exercising your rights.

There is a QR code with the URL underneath: LuceMass.org and a graphic of a megaphone on the side Información Para Inmigrantes - Conozca Tus Derechos. Information For Immigrants – Know Your Rights. All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution. The ILRC's Red Cards help people assert their rights and defend themselves in many situations, such as when ICE agents go to a home. Todas las personas en los Estados Unidos - sin importar su estatus migratorio – tienen derechos y protecciones bajo la constitución del país. Nuestras Tarjetas Rojas ayudan a los inmigrantes ejercer esos derechos y protegerse en muchas situaciones, como cuando agentes de inmigración visitan nuestras viviendas. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas (blank space left here to put the pocket for the red cards) You have constitutional rights: · DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door. · DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. o You have the right to remain silent. · DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. o You have the right to speak with a lawyer. · If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly.

Post by Elena Rossini on Mastodon: "Just now I saw an article describing Bluesky as the “billionaire-proof” social platform - you should have seen my eye roll. Sure, “billionaire-proof” (quote marks necessary) AND funded by the crypto bros at Blockchain Capital. I wonder if the person who came up with the hype of Bluesky decentralization is the same who built up the myth of Space Karen as a genius. Sure Jan - but you can’t fool me. Media literacy and digital literacy are more needed than ever. I miss the late Neil Postman 🥲" 3:58 am. May 10, 2025

On the left, @wcvb5.bsky.social 's cowardly efforts to edit out protestors in their vid. Note how zoomed in they are, how white the windows behind her are. You'd think we were in a snowstorm

On the right, from @wgbh.org tho not all protestors are visible from this angle, you can clearly see outside
Screencap of a video of Mayor Michelle Wu in front of all white windows, with two men in suits partially cut off in the background Photo of the windows from the first pic, not whitened out. Two protestors with signs are visible as well as passersby and a tree/shrubs. The signs read 'forced "treatment" kills' and 'no new (wu) drug war'

#BlueSky #Fediverse #Mastodon
Post by @Fedi.Tips@soci.growuourown on Mastodon: BSky is centralised, owned by a for-profit corporation, its CEO and most of its board are blockchain/cryptocurrency people. Its funding comes from Venture Capital firms who expect a massive return. These are major red flags. The claim by BSky to be decentralised isn't true, they say it MIGHT be decentralised in the future. And the form of decentralisation they've chosen heavily favours corporations running the infrastructure. There is no community ownership in BSky.

Today is #GlobalSwitchDay

For a more free, open, federated, and privacy-protected internet; against the #TechOligarchy, planet-killing AI hype, harmful algorithms that mess with our mental health, theft of personal data, and more

A grid of six promotional panels for 'Global Switch Day' on February 1st, 2025, each showing a transition between social media platforms: X (formerly Twitter) to Mastodon Instagram to Pixelfed WhatsApp to Signal Facebook to Friendica YouTube to PeerTube TikTok to Loops.video Each panel uses distinctive brand colors and includes platform logos connected by arrows, suggesting a migration from mainstream to alternative social media platforms.

REPOST from FediTips on Mastodon:
Diagrams of how BlueSky and its AT Protocol functions, compared to how The Fediverse and its ActivityPub protocol functions. BlueSky's traffic flows from servers to corporate-owned relays, and these relays communicate with each other before allowing traffic to flow to servers. The servers cannot communicate with each other at all. The Fediverse's traffic flows directly between cheap-to-run servers, with no need for any corporate involvement. While technically these are both forms of decentralisation, the BlueSky interpretation puts corporations, rich people and wealthy organisations in full control of the network. The Fediverse interpretation puts ordinary people in full control of the betwork. screencap of a post on mastodon by Fedi.Tips (@FediTips@social.growyourown.services): I've had a lot of people ask how BlueSky compares to Mastodon and the Fediverse. I've tried to make the answer as simple and easy to understand as possible: (butterfly emoji) BlueSky is designed to give corporations and wealthy people full control of the network. All of its traffic has to flow through expensive-to-run corporate relays. (fediverse emoji) The Fediverse is designed to give ordinary people control of the network. All of its traffic flows directly from one cheap-to-run server to another.

I simply hate this shit so much
Screen cap of a post by Mastodon Migration on Mastodon: “If you use #Bluesky be sure to install a tracker blocker. Thanks to @BlurryBitsPhoto for calling attention to this privacy nightmare: pnw.zone/ @BlurryBitsPhoto/1138…. Apparently Bluesky ranks among the worst in their experience for trackers. Here is a comparison of the uBlock Origin filter log for bsky.app versus Mastodon (Note: had to cut off the bsky.app page as the log just went on and on yielding dozens of blocks and kept streaming in.)” post includes a screencap of a spreadsheet with some items highlighted in pink but it’s hard to see the text
