eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

At best we’ll see a similar version. Anti Blackness and the enmeshment of media and philanthropy . With no DEI standards or design autopsy of Twitter is what killed this project.

It will kill most other ones too

I feel a little better, so I came back for more pain.

Bluesky let users register usernames with racial slurs. The community feels betrayed. Twitter alternative Bluesky allowed users to register handles with racial slurs in them. But the platform's response has prompted a larger protest from its user base.

And please note the first major fall out about Bluesky racism was

I was flippant about this in the original post because its dumb and I stand behind my colleague's reporting, but as I'm watching her deal with targeted harassment sent her way by Vance and by Suzanne Downing, I'm thinking about the lack of protections or support for journalists in this state.

breakups suck but have you ever remembered some stupid shit you said

Every night when I am trying to sleep, Hadas. L'shana tova to you, too.

I hate how people are arguing with me about Biden’s culpability when he explicitly named the bill “Build Back Better” to restore “normal” and also kept saying frequently throughout the campaign that he expected Republicans to support some of his policies—deliberately undermining himself.

"A rabbi associated with the congregation gave Mr. Mamdani a challah."
👋

I promise to continue sending him challah for at least 8 more Rosh Hashanahs at Gracie Mansion. If he will accept 😉

A livestream of the services showed Mr. Mamdani, center, sitting next to Brad Lander, the city comptroller, a close ally who is Jewish. Kolot Chayeinu, via YouTube

During Monday night's service, which was held at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant to accommodate a larger crowd, Rabbi Sam Kates-Goldman explicitly thanked Mr. Lander, who is Jewish, and Mr. Mamdani for modeling "interdependence" in politics. In his sermon, the rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel's campaign there a genocide, a term Mr. Mamdani has also used. Afterward, Mr. Mamdani, who wore a yarmulke (optional) and a face mask (required), was mobbed by congregants before he could leave. One called him "a mensch" for staying for the full service; another said his campaign had given them hope. A woman handed him stickers she had made with a picture of bagels and lox and a message urging Jewish voters to support Mr. Mamdani: "Reject the smear campaign — join the schmear campair » A rabbi associated with the congregatlu. gave Mr. Mamdani a challah.

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING!

Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire.

“The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough.

Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

Hany was a truck driver.

He used that skill throughout his time under genocide to rescue so many people, taking them to safer areas.

He was martyred by the Israeli occupation while doing exactly that - trying to save lives.

Please help his 8 children survive without him.

He deserved so much more

At some point people need to learn that the poverty rate is mostly about the safety net or lack thereof and not the economy. The economy was doing historically well, real wages rising for the first time in decades, etc. And poverty rose because pandemic safety policies expired.

wait I thought government workers were overpaid drains on society?

from cyberselfish by paulina borsook: It's an inability to reconcile the demands of being individual with the demands of participating in society, which coincides beautifully with a preference for, and glorification of, being the solo comman- der of one's computer in lieu of any other economically viable be- havior. Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint.

She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

gives lie to the whole “but no one knew they were like that back then” (also would be nice to see someone bring her book back out)
