I think a lot of elite gatekeepers in a variety of industries are either stuck in a kind of permanent November 6, 2024, when it seemed like Trump had won by a lot more than he had, or are intent on dragging us back to that moment.

Patrick with members of Bristol Green Party amid the rally protecting the hotel

Today, I and other @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social members and councillors stood shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of others to protect a hotel housing asylum seekers, calling out the poisonous bigotry corrupting our society.
We've done it before. We'll do it again. Solidarity ✊

look, it doesn't matter if the night-night man isn't real. a number of voters have very real concerns that the night-night man is waiting under their beds ready to eat them as soon as mommy and daddy say night-night and you need to have a plan to address those concerns regardless

Has The Lady Who Fell in Love with Her Psychiatrist hit Bluesky yet or is it still relegated to tiktok?

Long story short, very delusional lady, but she has multiple GPTs (which she’s given people names) telling her not only is she correct in her love (lust) but she is also an β€œoracle”

Somebody on the ChatGPT subreddit said the recent update was disastrous for his work, said "this is untenable for us serious everyday users who need it for our careers"

So I looked through his profile, and his career is writing and selling sexually explicit PokΓ©mon fanfic

The past decade of politics on both sides of the Atlantic is an object lesson in how the centrist strategy of selling out fundamental principles in exchange for comparatively minor concessions has been a catastrophe that has accelerated fascism’s ascent. We don’t have time for this shit anymore.

I saw one that had the tone of a comeback but there was no evidence Mamdani said anything, what the hell is Cuomo doing

Is he legit just crashing out on Twitter? I’m seeing all these screenshots, has Mamdani even responded or is he just shouting at the wind?

As theatres small to large struggle with balancing reasonable work hours and wages, there's a concept I use when approaching extraordinary team based/collaborative challenges that I call "Equitable Distribution of Suffering."

the 10-years-late thing is not a coincidence or imagined problem; governing trifectas only happen once a decade or so in modern polarized politics and a good portion of elected dems, including leadership, simply dislike reformers and reform-minded approaches. so they’re always a cycle behind

β€œDon’t let perfect be the enemy of the good”

This implies that pandering to bigots is β€œgood”

I am begging media outlets to actually try β€œmaking a movie from a prompt” for themselves before parroting the AI industry’s fantasy framing that β€œanyone can make a movie from a prompt.”

Picturing Donald Trump dead-eyed scowling into the middle distance as his family and acolytes hoover up mountains of powdered narcotics from every surface in the room. He says nothing, does nothing, thinks nothing, and barely breathes as his unwound clock of life arrhythmically ticks and tocks

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

β€œDon’t let perfect be the enemy of good” would rather be in a tent with bigots rather than progressives

For simplicity’s sake, let’s put β€œbigots” on the right wing and β€œprogressives” on the left. What is this delusion that right wing Americans have even the tiniest desire to vote Democrat?

This argument used to be about stuff like universal healthcare and now it’s about specific groups of people deemed an acceptable loss

A riff on the famous Mike Primavera (@primawesome) tweet about shelter cats and coyotes, with substitutions in brackets

My neighbor told me [Republicans] keep eating his [vulnerable minority groups] so I asked how many [minorities] he has and he said he just [Votes Blue, No Matter Who] and gets a new [minority] afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding [vulnerable minorities] to Republicans and then his daughter started crying.

The people behind most bootlegs now are remarkably skilled, professional and collectivized. If you are someone who might get talked about in the newspaper by a disgruntled reality TV personality do not try it
