american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really

ceding AI to the right is a generational poltical mistake and bullying LLM researchers off bluesky to cook their brains in twitter racism is a self defeating and foolish act from well meaning people deluding themselves into thinking intentional ignorance is a valid form of critique and resistance

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

watching Children of Men with some Labour MPs and they keep whispering stuff like "sound policy" and "measured response." a couple of em got uncomfortable at the images of caged refugees but their colleagues calmed them down by saying they'd probably have a different facility for the trans cages

Open Letter to the Bluesky Team About Their Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza

The signatories of this letter are all members of the Bluesky community, many of us have actively participated on the platform since its inception. We came to Bluesky because it was a breath of fresh air, a place that felt different from many of the other social media platforms. The lack of a central algorithm, the ability to build and use custom feeds, and the lack of penalty for link promotion contributed to an environment that allowed diverse and interesting voices to find their footing and community on Bluesky. While some of the signatories of this letter have had no issues with speaking their mind publicly on Bluesky, unfortunately that is not true for all the signatories because many are Palestinians currently living in Gaza. 

These Palestinians are journalists, artists, engineers, teachers, grandmas, entrepreneurs, a man who owned an ice cream shop, a pediatrician who has been featured on CBS Morning News, aid workers, architects, waiters, pharmacists, studentsโ€“and perhaps most essential to the backbone of Bluesky, posters. All of these people provide unique and interesting voices to the Bluesky community. However, unlike the other signatories of this letter, these Bluesky community members have struggled to keep their accounts on the platform. Most of them have lost multiple accounts and/or have had their accounts labeled as spam. Some cannot even make an account without it immediately being removed from the platform. 

Gazans undertake immense efforts to simply be on Bluesky. Sometimes, they walk for miles just to have access to the internet. They scale rooftops where they are exposed to potential military attacks just for the opportunity to get better cell signalsโ€“one signatory of this letter tragically lost her brother this way. They use what little money they have to pay โ€ฆ

Gazans have also been aggressively targeted and unfairly reported by bad actors. Many accounts openly encourage the reporting and targeting of any Palestinian. Several groups exist for the express purpose of looking for Palestinian accounts to report. 

We believe Bluesky owes Gazans, and the entire community who benefits from their voices, a greater duty of care especially in the context of the horrors they are enduring. We ask Bluesky to implement the following changes:

Provide information on all Bluesky-affiliated websites in Arabic that explains the rules and expectations of the site in clear language.

Investigate the accounts that are mass-reporting Palestinians on Bluesky. The mass reporting of Palestinians on Bluesky is a group effort to render the platform a hostile place for a community based on their ethnicity. As such, it is racism, and should be understood as such. Reports against Palestinians who have broken no community guidelines must be understood as racism, and the accounts that submit those reports should be disregarded in the future.

Many Bluesky users encourage Gazans to tag or reply to them, and this is not always understood as unwelcome behavior. If an account is reported as Spam for tagging or replying to others, treat only reports from the tagged/mentioned account as legitimate, seeing as they were the only ones who received a notification.

Send emails regarding disciplinary action every time it is taken. Gazans do not always get an email explaining what they did wrong, and those that do are required to parse a language they do not speak in order to understand their violation. Have these emails contain an easily visible link to information about their violations in Arabic. 

Respond to appeals in a timely fashion, many Gazans simply never hear back from Bluesky after they appeal a decision.

In addition to removing Gazans for alleged spam behavior, Bluesky has also sometimes indicated that they are deleting an account for being a scam or โ€ฆ

End IP bans on any account from Gaza and allow them to make new accounts where they can comply with Bluesky rules and continue to be valued members of the community. 

We understand that even if all these changes are made, many Gazans may still violate Bluesky rules in the future, but we hope that Bluesky will abandon their punitive approach to these violations and instead embrace an attitude of education, cooperation and community careโ€“ one that works to ensure people in Gaza can participate in a way that keeps their voices heard. 

We also call on the Bluesky community to help and support these accounts however they can. We want to continue to build a healthy community with better community members and this cannot be done if Gazans continue to be shunned. We can use this as an opportunity to show how to protect all vulnerable groups in the future.

We hope that Bluesky does not follow the path of other social media platforms and instead forges ahead with a different philosophy. After all, that is the reason so many of its users are there.  Bluesky's ethos of "No Caesarsโ€ should apply to all members of its community.

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first.

The Terror is my top pick in horror/thriller series. Classic scenario of isolating a group of people somewhere and seeing how they react, plus being inspired by historical events keeps it a bit more grounded.

'We won't back down': Inside the anti-wind farm crusade threatening Labor seats An anti-wind farm activist group has been accused of "Trumpian-style" attacks on experts and spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories in marginal Labor seats ahead of the May 3 election.

"The Senate received very troubling information that key Australian groups opposing offshore wind rollouts are not in fact grassroots community movements

...they are linked to political, organised and well-funded global campaigns to undermine renewable energy" #auspol

Israel Kills Journalist Hossam Shabat, Known for His Reports From North Gaza โ€œI ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza,โ€ he said. โ€œKeep telling our stories โ€” until Palestine is free.โ€โ€ฆ

Israeli forces have killed Hossam Shabat with a targeted airstrike while he was driving his car in Beit Lahiya. Shabat, who was 23 years old, had become well-known for his reports from northern Gaza amid Israelโ€™s total siege on the region.

Nowhere near as bad as the process to extract, refine and transport gasoline to your vehicle, which is consumed every time you put your foot on the accelerator. Lithium needs to be mined one time for the life of a battery/EV. I won't buy a Tesla but don't pretend there's no issue with petrol.
