Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Caitlin Flanagan was a prominent Atlantic staff writer for 25 years. Explain to me again how the Atlantic is a serious-minded, left-center publication.

ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"

100% correct. They've condoned Sophie Cunningham's bigotry, only to turn around and punish a team's co-owner for standing up for equality. They could not have handled this any worse.

Every legit doctor in the country should stop treating this along.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure

I work in mediation, and one of my beliefs is that the availability of our craft for free devalues what we do.

Travis D. Hill, Ph.D. ☕️@travisdhill.bsky.social · 3d ago

I could write too much about how mostly providing your work for free devalues your craft, the Craft at large, and how you view your work and yourself, not to mention the energy put forth into creating said Craft. Indie designers can be benevolent to a fault to be seen, but you should get paid too.

Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨

i think the biggest political risk is that a grocery store that’s considerably cheaper than its peers becomes a logistical shitshow. how are they going to avoid massive lines and every news channel scrambling to interview irritated customers?

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Had a layover from a newer plane to an older one and it was really nice to learn that it's not my imagining things, planes had actively gotten less comfortable.

“Racism is good and policy should be designed to reflect that principle,” couched in euphemism, is an acceptable opinion in the anglosphere leadership class but “racism is bad and policy should be designed to reflect that principle” is wokeness gone amok and unacceptable bsky.app/profile/okwo...

The editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.

The US government keeps contracting with this guy.

"First the traitors then the invaders" is Elon Musk endorsing an open call to prioritise political murders + assassinations before violence against migrants and minorities. Still little recognition in the UK government at the persistence of the promotion of political violence - inc murder - by Musk

This state supreme court opinion pulls no punches: “This court does not anchor Hawaiʻi’s due process rights to the federal floor. Especially one that keeps sinking. . . . State constitutionalism makes it easy to consider Roberts Court jurisprudence ‘white noise.’”

“The Roberts Court sees only white. It refuses to acknowledge who the Equal Protection Clause was written to protect. The freed people, their descendants, and all others denied equal citizenship.
