Quote from the op article: They want to be like "yes, I played Super Mario World 3," and have people be like "wow, this guy has a whole lot of taste." What people? Their parents, mostly. That sounds glib, but the person is going "my parents hate that I play games and suggest that I am not a Real Adult because I like games" They want what they believe other art has - some specific level of cultural prestige that gives them (emphasis) cultural prestige for consuming it.

Brutal kill here. 10/10

Amazing article.

"More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

“The solution to this is decentralized, federated, portable social media in which users own their follower list and can port it elsewhere when the server they are posting on changes its rules, changes its politics, is threatened or attacked by the government, or otherwise becomes untenable.”

The puzzle for Democrats is how to separate "good" from "bad" billionaires. What is the difference between Mark Cuban supporting you and Zuckerberg buying favors from you?

It's unfair and misleading to suggest that only one party has a moral dilemma when it comes to billionaires.

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check

But in my heart I know is just more AI snakeoil

Elon Musk Appears to Give Nazi Salutes at Trump Rally The billionaire Tesla CEO has a history of racist comments.

Some Musk defenders are trying to argue that the billionaire oligarch wasn't making a Nazi salute. But Nazis on Twitter are celebrating.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

OK, I need people to understand that joining Bluesky, following a bunch of lists, and not bothering to skeet anything or put a description in your bio will get you blocked.

Start with skeeting, put something in your bio, THEN follow all those lists. Otherwise, you WILL get blocked.

People are taking their digital toys too seriously and throwing bile at the honest artists behind the game is just rude.

The skin looks great, even if can feel odd I don't see a good reason to get so offended by it.
