I just read the lyrics to the Taylor Swift song "Wood" and good Lord is the lady protesting too much. She's insisting so much that she's straight and having lots of sex so much that she's not beating the Gaylor accusations. The entire song is essentially "Travis and I are very heterosexual!"

Well Tim I have a full face you just didn't bother looking.

Let's fucking go! #gododgers

Hey I've seen this one before. Who's her Drake?

Advanced Jaggery if you will

Meanwhile even non baseball following jerks like me are like "go dodgers" every October. The dodger hats bloom down here.

I'm just glad he has the accent over the e

Sorry to my Seattle sports peeps but I'm true blue today. #gododgers

Mastodon is like a series of cul-de-sacs and every one of them has an asshole HOA

With Link gone somebody has to be the heart of this site too

Yeah it's on Wordpress because fuck Substack and yeah it's probably not the best written explainer but I don't care I had to get my thoughts out there and I'm not posting a thread. Stay safe out there, people. Don't put up with anyone's shit. Be kind and excellent to each other.

The Bluesky mass banning explained: waffles, transphobia, and a thin-skinned CEO On October 1st, CEO of Bluesky Jay Grabber responded to a post referencing the old “Oh so you like pancakes” joke from Twitter. Grabber’s response was that Bluesky would try to fix this issue and t…

So after Link's permanent ban and @erinbiba.bsky.social's temporary suspension I decided to write a thing which is half recap of Jay Graber's transphobic double down and how social media platforms are all doomed to rot. I might get on Jay's shitlist but at this point fuck it.

[fascists posting an old doublemint gum ad] this is what they took from us,

Every large-scale platform is run by techno-fascists, that's just reality. This is the only social media I'm on because the community of good people is strong and important but it's also vulnerable to the whims of those in charge, who aren't our friends. Best to keep that in mind.

Honestly I trust Wikipedia as a main source. Sure anyone can edit it but its editing policies and the amount of research they put into their articles is second to none. When you remove the profit motive, people are going to do things like that.

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.

Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.

I was being nice. I could've done this:

Dropout dot com's Brennan Lee Mulligan?!

In this economy?!

As an American I'm still angry at them.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

The previous post was deleted so here's another overview on Link being banned on here.
