bluesky’s current demonstrated willingness to suspend entire accounts on a hair trigger basis is alarming.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

@support.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team why have you suspended @sarahkendzior.bsky.social for no apparent reason.

THE SOCK IS TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Yes, especially when you port it over from X to do it. Stop that shit, my dude. It reflects poorly on you.

Usha Vance didn’t like her husband suggesting she needed to be fixed. She made him sleep on the couch but for some reason that didn’t work.

Oh no....

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I guess for me it's probably never having seen any of The Wire or Sopranos

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

How's the old shoulder?

I second this suggestion of video games

Truly disappointing to see these changes being enacted. This is ripe for abuse by the worst parts of the community.

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.

It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

M365 Copilot fails to up productivity in UK government trial : AI tech shows promise writing emails or summarizing meetings. Don't bother with anything more complex

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results:

1) Does UBI work? (yes)
2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

We barely survived back then.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

this is your reminder to help clean up BlueSky:

search #aiart or go to a feed like bsky.app/profile/did:...

and just start blocking

I am in this photo and really enjoyed meeting you 🙂

Substack has a Nazi problem. If you're starting a newsletter in 2025, you have other options and you absolutely should take them for moral and ethical reasons, imo. I'm on @buttondown.com and it's pretty great!

I'm so sorry. We went through that with our boy last year. *Hugs*

“Don’t speak ill of the dead.”

Why not? If someone was a piece of shit in life, why the fuck do I owe them anything in death. “He was an openly racist trash human, but he’s dead now so kudos to a life well lived.” No. Absolutely not.

it's like they were friends and had shared interests (molesting children)

I'm gonna ask you so many questions about it in Indy
