Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

They are not in the proper region. "Sparkling" will have to do.

This serves as an illustration of how racism can be subtly woven into policy.

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

β€œIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

20 Hispanics move in next door. We make friends, get homemade pupusas.

3 affluent whites move in next door. They bulldoze the cute house, build a jillion sq ft McMansion, casting my yard in eternal darkness. They call cops on kids lemonade stand. I report their illegally parked boat to the city.

Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it.

As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

Johnson wearing a jacket that's photoshopped to say "this has nothing to do with epstein"

And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.
