This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

The story book accompanying your meal, where you are convinced the bear wanted to end it this way.
A little bear sits in a hot pot. Surrounding him are plates of vegetables and meat. Not suspecious at all little bear.
At Kumachan Onsen, the bear’s dream is to BECOME the hot spring.
And you help him achieve this.
Set him afloat in boiling broth. As he lies down, pile on the cabbage, meat, and other… bath products… all while maintaining eye contact.
This is the most unhinged meal I have enjoyed in a while.
ACT is mad about the recommendation to ban nudifier apps, and I think that was my submission, so... sorry? Lol. I think that apps and websites whose primary purpose is to generate sexualised deepfakes without consent should be banned 🤷 #nzpol

Very disappointed to see that the Education & Workforce Select Committee has recommended banning people under 16 from using social media websites such as Facebook, Instagream, Snapchat, TikTok, X and more. selectcommittees.parliament.nz/v/6/e05a9618...

The main recommendations Introduce under-16 age restriction for social media. Establish a national regulator for online safety. Ban “nudify” apps and non-consensual deepfake sexual imagery. Explore regulating online platforms’ algorithms and ways to evade restrictions, such as VPNs. Increase platforms’ liability for the content they host, and their platform design. Restrict online advertising of alcohol, tobacco, and gambling — to over-18s. Review laws, consider new offences and penalties associated with online harm. Invest in public campaigns or resources about online safety.
Banning VPNs is a joke policy that could not be taken seriously by anyone who has ever worked remotely for a medium or large organisation or one with a significant international presence
These are not serious people

This is just to say
I have loosed the bananas that were in the banana enclosure
A sign at the supermarket advertising “Whole Raw Australian Banana” - as a “Meat and Seafood Deal” - and you have to read the fine print to discover these are, in fact, prawns. Banana prawns I guess…is that a thing??
Bananas defying categorisation, becoming ungovernable…

It’s genuinely hard not to see things any other way.
They wanted to build a protocol. Bluesky the social network site was just a use case. There was no intention for it to get big. Now they’re stuck having a user base that they never wanted and they treat us like it.

Alex @alex.bsky.team • 2h our userbase is already conspiracy brained enough about our rationale for suspensions without us making it this easy for them to accidentally entrap themselves
Uhhhmmm don’t love a Bluesky dev publicly calling the entire user base conspiracy brained.
If Bluesky users are prone to conspiracies @alex.bsky.team it’s because y’all place no value on communicating and don’t give people enough information, forcing them to come to their own conclusions.
