Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

4 panel comic Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

the US government has arrived on bluesky

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff

Block, move on.

I’m just fine.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

We don’t make the rules. We just make it bounce 🍑

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Steve Gallacci, old school furry artist (a LOT of you wouldn't be here without his work) is having a spot of bother due to an appliance cascade failure. He's selling off some things to cover the cost, which you can find referenced in the following FA post. Spread it around.

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 wish Bluesky were decentralized

We’re excited to see what y’all are working on at Hardware Hacking Night later

Ah yes the three genders, “Men”, “Women” and “Kitchens”

One of my favorite parts of TikTok these days are all of the ballet dancers being goofy in their Nutcracker costumes, bc when else do you get to dress up like an incredibly fabulous dapper rat

And some folks wonder why tourism from the north has dried up

Do 50 pushups before posting a photo of myself wearing a shirt from @revelionart.bsky.social to make my arms look huge? Check.

It’s a silky smooth slim fit. Get yourself some werewolf milk. 🐺🥛
