Ologies

He benefits from a tiktok ban. The timing is so coincidental.

I find it so almost irritatingly fitting that the richest, most miserable man on earth does not have a smile, either incapable or intentional, his mouth literally turns downward, the cheeks at the end of the lipline pointed downward. Like how many examples are there of how unhuman this man is.

The second amendment enshrines the state’s right to endorse, enforce, and sponsor terrorism. It may not say so explicitly, as no one apparently knows what the hell its saying explicitly, but that’s the effect, as we see play out every day. Terrorism is effectively armed and sponsored by the state.

I fear the only way to bring about universal healthcare will be either a nationwide general strike or a nationwide strike among members of the health care industry or walk outs at insurance companies. Something has to break. Someone has to break it.

One of the best threads ive read in a WHILE.

I agree with the folks who said its a criticism of capitalism; my first thought was that it was to mock the investigators. A catch me if you can statement. Showing this was very planned and hes not afraid hell get caught.

Silly question but where? How? Im not having the same success.

It is incredible to me that the democratic party could not leverage the pure red hot unadulterated rage that millions of americans feel about their health care. This was an obviously winning issue across all demographics and they couldnt muster a single protest to their donor overlords. Shameful.

“Disgruntled” because its irrational and petty to be angry that people audaciously parade around making millions and millions by holding your life or the life of someone you love ransom.

“Speculation of motive,” of the murder of the chief executive of a multi-billion dollar revenue generation corporation that makes its money by directly intervening in the life-saving care of millions, by outsourcing that work to AI, & mere moments away from celebrating those crimes to shareholders.

Another perfect example of out-of-touch legacy media sanewashing late-stage capitalism with the gaslighting phrase: “we have no information on the motive of this heinous act,” sounding so unfathomably hollow while a collective consciousness unleashes its suppressed fury at the same singular villain.

😂 is it morally wrong to murder hitler. Lets start there.

Bro do you seriously think were trying to defend murder? Can you not allow a shred of nuance in these moral arguments? Can you only hold things to be true so long as they fit cleanly within always never dichotomies

I wish high horses would actually buck every once in a while so you could actually get a pang of feeling at how ridiculous you sound. Celebrating someones murder who is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people is not a radical or immoral stance whatsoever.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Fantastic @nbcnews.com piece that opens and closes with an interview with @ashtonpittman.bsky.social about @mississippifreepress.org success on @bsky.app! Please read … and thanks, @kattenbarge.bsky.social for including us.

it’s interesting that they’re trying to ban trans people from the military. from what i’ve heard they’re super soldiers who are too good at sports and athleticism

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...

It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

If you list trumps proposals one by one, its a reverse engineering of the great depression.

i recently put together a few starterpacks for bluesky, additionally i made one list of tools i enjoy on here that enhance the experience! if there’s useful tools you like i don’t have on my granted, very short list, feel free to mention them below:

Please, I beg you, do not fall into the trap of giving trump and his administration more intelligence and strategy than they possess. Trump is genuinely THAT BAD and you trying to provide some kind of hindsight “they meant to do that” is deluded. You are sanewashing for your own copium. Stop it!

If this existence thing is just a dream, I'd rate it 40% on Rotten Tomatoes: The plot goes in circles, the dialog's annoying as hell, the villains are just plain stupid and the wrong people are nude

Well, now that I'm on this thing, I guess I have to recommend it! (srsly it's a good list) bsky.app/starter-pack...

Started this starter pack with energy justice & climate justice folks. Let me know who I should add to it. go.bsky.app/HXiuKJ5
(P.S. yes this is my way of finding my friends that migrated to bluer skies)

@costasamaras.com @menrywy.bsky.social @leahstokes.bsky.social @sidersadapts.bsky.social

If you’re new to BlueSky (or just in need of better conversations on here), I’ve made a starter pack with funny / smart / hot people you should follow. And I update it regularly because… well, you’re welcome. That’s why.

He looks horrible.
