Quick update: For the longest time now I've decided to leave bluesky FOREVER, due to ongoing drama that began this month because of a twitter user named "Yunayu". This has been very immature for the most part and it feels like a restrictive part of our ablities as artist to create and explore.

The anti-gun crowd is strangely quiet about this mass shooting at A&M University event.

The pixel rabbit literally does this meme. Yes, it is obnoxious. And if you really want to own Jax that badly, he's a narcissist asshole. Which is very trans but not doing you any favors.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

I published the tool I use to evaluate the authenticity of accounts. It identifies high volume, low quality posters that fill up the feed with low quality astroturf content.

Bullying Yunayu out of Bsky did more damage to the movement than her drawing that Malfoy image. Bsky's reputation is totally deserved

He asks a good question. Despite the lively debate, 1000 comments, almost no upvotes. I wonder why.

Judaism is a racist religion. Zionism and the Israeli state are natural extensions of this. There is a reason people get upset every time jews come to power over and over throughout history. Judaism cultivates this behavior. A two state solution with Palestine will not work. End Israel now.

Learn about statistics. 95.9% of abortions are elective. Basically women just want to slut around and can't be bothered to use contraceptives.

This is what the #malfoid trend is really about. It started as a piece of cute art, but now it's become a method for the silent majority to speak up.

H1B visas make billionaires richer by suppressing wages. Why do liberals defend this practice?

We have 20 million "undocumented migrants" here at a minimum. Undocumented means they also do not have a vaccination record. Why aren't they concerned about this massive gap in our herd immunity?

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

@aaron.bsky.team Can you clarify your CSAM and animal abuse guidelines? It states illustrated content is not okay and I've reported several pieces but they're still up. Like how is alysyun dot bsky dot social allowed to stay on this site?

Bluesky is a toxic, hostile place. There's a reason Bluesky staff has such a dim view of the activist crowd.

The most vindicating part of this story is that a citizen journalist struggled to find an outlet. Journalists refuse to cover real stories and that's how people like Nick Shirley get so much support. Journalists did this to themselves.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

This is what art without a soul looks like.

I've really been enjoying @attie.ai - It's helped me build tools that greatly improve my Bluesky experience.

I've recently deployed a script that is quite accurate at identifying bots. Strangely, bots are coming out in droves to claim I added them falsely. How did they even know I flagged them? To prove you're not a bot, tell me the text in this gif.

Literally the Achilles Heel of democracy.

"When President Donald Trump said he would give adult US citizens $5,000 each if they reelected Republican majorities in the 2026 midterm elections, Sen. Roger Marshall was one of the first lawmakers to tout the idea," writes CNN's Aaron Blake. | Analysis https://cnn.it/4deEa7i

When aid depends on proving you're sick enough, some learn to perform it, and administrators learn to doubt everyone. Honest people get caught in that cycle, forced to justify real pain. Basic income breaks the loop. No means test means no incentive to perform, and no reason to doubt. Just support.

The fix was in 2016, but the populace turned out overwhelmingly for Trump and they couldn't cover up that turnout. The fix was blatant in 2020. It had millions more dem voters than 2016 or 2024. By 2024 Trump was fully in Netanyahu's pocket and thus "safe" for the system.

Bluesky has a terrible bot problem. And they even know it. This post from CNN has 39 replies, and 35 of them are hidden. In addition to the bot problem, it's also deboosting real people, which is a form of shadowban.

You boycott Harry Potter because of Rowling's take on transgenderism. I boycott it because it's woke garbage.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

“When a transaction objectively looks like a sale to a reasonable customer, the customer should get the legal rights that come with purchase, even if the vendor figuratively has their fingers crossed behind their back in the fine print,” EFF’s Corynne McSherry told @dailymail.co.uk.

Over 400 people worked on Hogwarts Legacy, including 1 trans VA and the writers that thought to include that trans VA as part of of the mandatory story. If you think hurting the livelihood of those 400 people is worth more than giving Rowling a few pennies then that isn't justice, it's pure spite.
