the mods of this place will strangle it to death trying to avoid it having the reputation it already has and unavoidably will always have

Howdy folks! Because the Bsky ceo keeps caving to transphobes, I'm outta here most likely. Catch me on discord and twitch! Alternatively, if you have my phone number, text me sometime!

Really sucks that the Bsky ceo sucks this much. Catch ya elsewhere!

I like how the Bluesky staff burned thru like 99 percent of people’s good will before they secured a long term revenue plan for this platform

And they wish it was 1850

It’s almost as if those of us in the media told you so.

Media exclusive Bari Weiss to lead CBS News as part of major Paramount Skydance shakeup: sources By Alexandra Steigrad Published Oct. 2, 2025, 3:24 p.m. ET

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

A screenshot of an X post by Q. Anthony Ali (@NobleQAli , 12h ago) featuring a black-and-white historical image of a person lying on the ground while others, including a woman kneeling and several standing figures, are around them in what appears to be a park or open area. Below this, a reply by Antonio Benetto (@Tony_Benetto , 1d ago) to @drmistercody states: "I don't believe US troops will fire on American citizens."

History has many painful lessons.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

[after tenting my fingers for one month straight] more like stupid tha very idiot

So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.

A mini medieval story time!

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

This is partly my point - Get involved in local activism. Help work to notify activists in your area of ICE patrols. Build community outreach programs. There is a TON to be done between the binaries of boycotting & physical violence - its just hard for us to imagine it because we aren't show in.

Well if you like numbers here's some for you: you're #1, a real 10/10 friend, and you deserve better than to have some algorithm of 1s and 0s be messing with your mood. Take care of yourself!

Phone to break the habit. If I really, really, REALLY need to see something on reddit or Facebook or something, I'll have to walk across the street to the library to look at it. And that's only happened like one time since I blocked reddit months ago. It's worth not worrying about social media.

Don't worry about algorithm nonsense. Just worry about what makes sense for you. If you see something compelling and you want to share it, share it. If you don't want to engage at all, then don't. I will say, these algorithms are literally addictive, so I had to literally block socials from my

Scott Greer tweets: "Some may say it's frivolous to care about Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime entertainment, but it matters for three reasons. 1) The Super Bowl is America's premier culture event. It reflects where mainstream culture is. 2) It shows the NFL willing to broadcast a middle finger to Red America in the form of an anti-Trump, anti-ICE, Spanish-only singer 3) An entire halftime show in Spanish is the clearest sign of America's Latin Americanization and an affront to our traditional culture."

am i the only person who cares about housing prices? is this like a niche political interest or something?

Military clothes were historically designed for function, not fashion. High-waisted pants kept shirts tucked and allowed for better mobility. The Ike jacket was inspired by British battledress, which involved a cropped jacket that felt comfy when driving. Why change?

Since 2010, and it feels like a massive weight off my chest.

I have Bsky, Twitch... does discord count? But for real social media drains the life outta me. For something that supposedly makes my life easier, it sure feels like it makes my life worse.

From personal experience, I recommend deleting socials. I recently cut out reddit for the first time

With how much bad shit is constantly happening, it’s gonna be a looong time before we hear a “we didn’t start the fire”

David Cross Slams Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle and Others Performing at Saudi Comedy Festival: “Disgusted” In a scathing open letter, Cross is the latest to criticize his fellow comedians for participating in the Riyadh Comedy Festival: "I am deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing. How can any of us...

David Cross nails it:
“I am disgusted, and deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing,” wrote Cross on his website. “That people I admire, with unarguable talent would condone this totalitarian fiefdom for … what, a fourth house? A boat? More sneakers?

Ultimately, the fact that there *isn't* some overt radical left combined with the fact that they want to construct a make-believe one is proof that any construction and securitization of violent left-wing extremism will definitionally be used against unrelated civilians

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

this is how it feels to wear high rise pants

I have conservative relatives in Utah that get very annoyed with me (a NY-er who married into the family) for pointing out that like every true crime podcast is about how some whacko Mormon in Idaho/Utah killed their family to have an affair.
