You can now be banned for "Being disruptive to other users" yeah thats definitely going to be enforced consistently

Y'all will just say whatever bullshit, huh

Like, whatever sign you were waiting for before you started taking this shit serious, here ya go bud.

Border Patrol shoots woman on Southwest Side; agents, protesters battle for hours The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, which has yet to be verified. In the p...

The Border Patrol tried to assassinate a lady in Chicago and the official statement from DHS more or less amounts to "Yeah we did try to kill that lady for being mean to us online and if you're mean to us online we'll try to kill you too." That's where we're at.

Start telling people to fuck off. Cultivate it as a virtue. Practice saying "Oh, fuck off" and "Oh, kiss my ass" and "Buddy, if you don't shut the fuck up right now then we're gonna have us a goddamn problem" to yourself in the mirror until they feel natural.

Civility and decorum are cudgels crafted in order to make demonstrably bad ideas easier to defend

The fact that it's considered indefensible to say things like "That doesn't make any goddamn sense" or "That's some fake shit you read on the internet and you're a jackass" in a professional setting is imo a major contributing factor in the current mess. We're Emperor's New Clothes-ing right to hell

This is hard to watch and worth finishing

The funniest thing about this is how legit terrified ICE looks.

I know we’re resigned after so many years of it but for real, social media giving high-ranking elected government officials the ability to harass individual private citizens by name for an audience of millions as a recreational pastime is actually Caligula shit if you think about it

And apparently make blocklists like this without any consequence whatsoever. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Basically, anyone who refers to themself as a "system architect" on purpose is necessarily a self-important blowhard. Don't listen to such people.

it's definitely gettin to be about that time

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

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

hell yeah 🔥

Let's go!!!

Remember to get in your entries for the Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day Art contest - only 8 more days to go!

If you asked me yesterday what one word the ceo of blue sky would use to once and for all plainly and unequivocally announce her hatred of trans people i would not have guessed correctly

One of the things I’m sitting with from this interview is that mainstream centrist liberal nonprofits are likely to face targeted material consequences as a result of this Executive Order.

Those organizations exist and have funding to disrupt, and they aren’t as used to fascist repression

The problem with like 90% of psychosexual horror is it's paradoxically written by some of the squarest people who've ever lived. People who write "and there was pornography and other sex things" as though that constitutes horror on its own. A thousand Richards Matheson for every Clive Barker.

This part is laughably wrong. If you order installation service for a gas appliance from home depot or anywhere else, they subcontract a licensed plumber to do the job, not just random delivery people. It's completely insane to think delivery guys are doing plumbing work

I can assure you this is not what makes New York City unaffordable and if you click through to the citation it’s just a landlord doing a TikTok. What’re we doing here man.

“If you call us fascists, we’re going to put you behind bars.”

have u ever read the book 1994 by James Orwald because it was exactly like this

the more i like something the more marxister it is and the less i like it the more anti-marxister it is

like, if you have actually read Capital, you see that the whole scam is to steal as much of workers' productivity as you can. if you launder their labor into forms that it is technically legal to steal, you reap 100% of their productivity.

keystone copes

About to be the family that owns TikTok.
