The potential downside of the focus on Flock is that people don’t recognize it as a singular entity within an entire landscape of companies creating the surveillance state.

The "academic freedom" crowd was really quiet when professors were getting cracked down on for supporting Palestine, and when the government pressured universities to make anything transgender verboten.

“Local media has been dying all over America, which means there’s essentially no way to hold local governments accountable— they can do whatever they want,” he told the white nationalists meeting. “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.” www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...

As Local News Dies, White Nationalists See an Opening

Much as I hate linking to Amazon if someone wants to get me these dishes I will love you forever, yes this is a real request xD a.co/d/01pP4ecd

Why must I be both the one reading the sign and the one tapping the sign?

RoboMaximillion@robomaximillion.bsky.social · yesterday

normally don't post meme images but tapping the sign for some folks. this one has helped me more than i thought it would.

I was thinking, fondly, of boolean search yesterday. not only is it a superior way to query Internet archives, it’s also an example of academia and k-12 being as nimble and tech forward as AI boosters claim they want us to be. We pivoted very efficiently on Google search. And now it’s dead.

Sorry chatbot lovers but the waning of Boolean operators in most search functions on websites has made my life actively worse. You can't find anything, you can only have things suggested to you.

I am not happy currently. I feel as though a great weight is off of my shoulders but there is no joy today, only the gnawing feeling that once again I wasn’t good enough.

why am i such a terrible partner and person?

I'm bad at relationships. I'm not getting into them anymore.

JK Rowling would like you to know, since her new show's trailer is about to drop, that if you conform to socially strict standards of gender, she loves you. She's still going to use her money to kill you, if you dare to be different, but she needs the money and fame to keep Amnesty Intl cowed.

JK Rowling issues surprising message of support for trans adults www.lgbtqnation.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

URGENT! We just got a tip - someone saw a person carrying what looked very much like Tierney's head. The person boarded the 54 bus Southbound in Baltimore City. PLEASE boost this post! We might have any chance of recovering her if this post gets seen enough!

Clockwork Creature@clockworkcreature.bsky.social · 6d ago

Hey, so our workshop got broken into over the weekend. Most of what was stolen was just replaceable stuff, but one very precious mask was taken. Tierney's head has been stolen. If anyone sees this head anywhere, let us know immediately. Hoping against hope that we can bring her home.

Not me walking into the room with my...housemate? Spouse? What even is he now? - and apologizing for being difficult to live with and having him turn to me and go "Why do *you* think you're difficult to live with? I want to hear *you* say it." But he doesn't resent me, guys.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

BBC invited Palestinian writer, researcher and analyst Muhammad Shehada on to talk about Israel’s decision to investigate the killing of Hind Rajab. Below is Muhammad’s account of what happened next. Full disclosure: I know him years and he’s a regular on the pod. So naturally I believe him 100%.

FRIENDS IN THE NYC AREA: Okay, this is a tough one, but please bear with me. My wife's lifelong friend has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is desperately seeking a home for his two cats when that time comes. The elder, Wally, is something like 13 years old and DELIGHTFULLY dim. The younger, Doris,

I am *extremely insistently* tapping the sign to remind you all to support independent, worker run, billionaire free news how and where you are able to

I asked for a protein based snack. In those words. He got me beef sticks and lectured me about the $11 price and said they're too expensive to get with any regularity. Then got whipped cream cheese spread for bagels we do not have because "it was a deal" and bagels "can happen later" I'm tired

Apparently I have never mentioned my love of Disney to my therapist before!!

Not me still dealing with this car insurance bullshit because someone decided *not telling me about the accident was a good idea*

Me: *picks up used coffee mug from this morning with the residue of sugar-free sweetener and *light cream* in it, that has been sitting out all day and moves to put it in the dishwasher. Him: "...why are you putting that in the dishwasher??" Me: "It's a used mug from this morning."

horrifically disappointing. @archive.org how much legal action did they threaten you guys with?

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

RIP Hayden Panettiere. 💔

The same minor issue coming up time after time after time for years upon years, literally, means the issue *stops* being minor and starts being major.

ATTENTION: unfortunately, the dungeon coach was also hit by the same hack I was, from my own hacked account as a matter of fact Please if the ones who helped me could help him as well, and be cautious not to download anything from his discord account in the meantime!!

My book mail has arrived!

Absolutely THIS. People think a dollar or two isn't "real"support, or isn't enough and like no no, IT IS ACTUALLY SO MUCH bc it adds up! It feels like just the $1 on your end, but on our end it ends up being $10 or $100 or even $1000s A dollar goes farther than you think

-𝚖𝚘𝚡@moxiest.art · last wk.

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

Me too, BlueSky. Me too.

This is my identity confirmation that it's the real me and also the explanation of how I got hacked, and how you can avoid falling into the same trap I did youtu.be/GZQcq70cc6o

So much of my mental effort, energy and processes are currently being spent on things they really should not be spent on and I look forward to the day I may expend that mental energy in more productive and joyful endeavors.
