The biggest thing, to me, is that @rude1.blacksky.team is building what I believe is what social media should’ve always been from the start. BlueSky gets credit for getting AT Protocol off the ground, but BlackSky is really delivering the vision, IMO. I believe in what they’re doing.
Rudy Fraser on Black Sky and the Fight for an Independent Internet

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · last wk.The former Special Assistant to President Joe Biden decided to throw a temper tantrum on Twitter, but I do think it is actually really good to have Biden alumna say this out loud.
The Democrats are more right wing than the Republicans were 50 years ago. And in the UK, Labour are more right wing than the Tories were 50 years ago. Have you people seriously not worked out what "lesser evil" voting does yet?
I know it’s a bummer to say out loud, but in academics, beware of the self-appointed AI boosters who will see how they can get ahead by positioning themselves with emerging anti-reading and surveillance discourses.

Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 2w ago“The Nerd Reich” was the #1 bestseller at @bookshop.org for August. “See why people are talking about this one!” Lots more to come, folks! Thank you to all who bought and/or boosted the book. The word-of-mouth is working. Buy it here: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
As a student of evil, using the threat of AI to basically disable the internet for an uncertain length of time is something that I had not considered. Points to the techno fascists.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 2w agoThis could be the most Frank Luntz tweet of all time. Yes, we’ll just turn off… all of the computers. All our autonomous defense systems. All our financial systems. The global economy. That probably wouldn’t hurt anything, right?
⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ Attica Uprising—REVISITED 🧵 Fifty-five years ago today, the Attica Prison Uprising begins. For many, it is a story of resistance. We're going to do a deep dive and meet the men who led it. Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. (cont) www.themarshallproject.org/2025/09/12/a...
Why ‘Attica Day’ Still Matters
For decades, New York prisoners have refused meals on Sept. 13 to mark the end of the 1971 Attica prison uprising. Inside a ritual in decline.

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jenna Norton@jenna-m-norton.bsky.social · 3w agoBhattacharya’s NIH has made a habit of ignoring the expert input of NIH staff. They push forward “solutions” even when we point out the new problems they will create.

Highly recommended. At this point I assume corruption and grift. There's a reason why the mainstreamers from both parties are going so hard against the same people. The money train is running out of coal.
