You can always tell people who didn't work their way up through real jobs and manage based on the dumbest ideas they've heard of other terrible bosses doing.

María Corina Machado @MariaCorinaYA 2h This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

she already dedicated the win to him and no I'm not joking

Take it from a big Hasan distruster. That whole shock collar stuff is absolute nonsense.

Doom was a documentary

“Thiel says an Antichrist will emerge who will create a one-world government on the promise of something like stopping nuclear, AI or climate-induced disaster.
That figure, would curtail individual freedoms and halt humanity's shot at a future innovation that would avoid Armageddon, Thiel believes”

if Obama deserved it, Trump does as well.

They shouldn't have been cowards and given the peace prize to Trump instead

Honestly I quite like the way American Libs think. Surely logic would tell you a Venezuelan politician would be decent enough to oppose Trump bombing Venezuelan boats. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make such assumption? lol.

Nobel Peace Prize winner hailed Trump as ‘visionary’ just days before her victory Maria Corina Machado was given the award for promoting democracy in Venezuela and says that the US president is the country’s best chance for regime change

They somehow found a worse pick than Trump

Fun fact: Colina Machado SUPPORTS Donald Trump sinking fishing boats off their coast.

lol sure www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corino Machado has been an outspoken supporter of Trump (AP) She has also described the president as a “visionary.” In September, the U.S. military attacked a Venezuelan speedboat carrying 11 people. The army claimed that the boat was carrying drug traffickers, but Venezuela insisted that only fishermen were on board. Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat. “I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”

lol the Nobel Peace prize sucks so much

lol some imperialist pawn that celebrated the bombings on the Boats in Venezuelan coasts is given the Nobel Peace Prize. This shit prize somehow manages to get worse every year.

If someone did ask him that, what do you think would have happened? bsky.app/profile/sanh...

Ofc Trump would be against Mexico doing that. But so what?

We are all so unarmed against fascists. A double standard is not a flaw with their logic. The double standard is their main goal.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

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.

every fucking time

screenshot of a post from Rose, a member of the Bluesky team who’s been called out recently for following the Heritage Foundation post text: “The ‘follow’ button confounds ‘I’m looking at your content’ and ‘I endorse this content.’ We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.” Fun little side note is that one of my labelers indicates her as a JD Vance follower because of course she is

this reminds me very much of how musk would complain about twitter features needing to be fixed or removed whenever they posed a problem for him and/or the chuds he increasingly molded the site to serve

not saying

just saying

Such a straightforward case in which Democrats are paying the bill because they refused to ever say the Capitol Ritos were bad due to being a Fascist coup and instead they went with dumb words like "insurrection" implying that the problem was the disobedience.

Bluesky isnt responsible for Blueskys moderation because the Bluesky vendor Bluesky hired to moderate Bluesky doesnt answer to their client, Bluesky

Is one helluva justification

Every fascist accusation is a confession.

It means that they want cis for everyone. It's simple as that.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

Which is the only way I could describe the communities being targeted by the admins' actions here. Trans people, Blacksky, anti-AI slop folks. You gotta wonder who is going to be their next target.

All these "crash outs" are incredibly convenient. For the less tame parts of this site they may even come off as "drama" and the such. All while the administration alienating, ban and all-around create havoc and confusion on the more left-leaning sub-communities that have been frequenting this site.

This is looking more and more like an attempt to dispose of the leftist voices that drove growth in this site. It could be because Bluesky's owners want to contribute to the Far Right hegemony over social media or perhaps cause they want to make bluesky have more "mainstream" value for money reasons

Those who own this site directly or indirectly, likely didn't want things to go this way. But Elon's obliteration of free speech and basic functionality in twitter, combined with the attack he tried to perform on the country of Brazil were the main drivers of bluesky's growth.
