she/her neutral evil survivor of 300mg spiro your illiteracy is not my fault

when I say capitalism can only function as a walled garden with global exploitation I get responses such as "why be a socialist when you can just be a European social democrat?" quality of life in the world should be better, and not just in our own cities. +the EU response to Ceuta is disgusting

“Here’s a radical thought: what if migration is only a problem to those who want it to be? What if we started seeing the mass movement of people less as an existential threat and more as a simple inevitability of human existence?”

I LOVE MCCARTHYITES I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY SOCIALISTS ARE UNAMERICAN BECAUSE THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE WITH THEIR LOCALS I LOVE HOW NONPROFITS HAND OUT ENDORSEMENTS LIKE HALLOWEEN CANDY SO NOBODY CARES WHAT THEY SAY people love the idea of Mamdani until they learn how sausage is made

WOW. New announcement from Seattle CMs Strauss, Hollingsworth, and Foster saying they will fund universal school meals starting in the fall after all by using the general fund. Hard to see this as anything but a realization of the high political price they paid for their votes yesterday.

Puget Sound is rich in quality progressive media. I've created a BlueSky feed "Puget Sound's Only News" so we can follow them. Stop feeding the reactionary Seattle Times or the defanged Stranger. Details of who's included & support links at bit.ly/4vHTccZ Subscribe via the # or More Feeds links

irregular reminder the "neutral evil" is in my bio for a reason if you think you can win an argument with concepts such as "greater good", "compassion", "empathy", "sacrifice for someone else's sake", you're in the wrong neighborhood

"why do I need to learn chemistry in high school it's not like I need to use it as an adult" 10 years later: science names scary~~~~~~

great idea! let's make trans people use their government names before they get them changed! lets make domestic violence victims use their government names that totally cannot be googled! let's do all this because a bunch of british genX'ers are too busy with Harry Potter to be actual parents!

I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

Ban continuous scroll. Appears to one of the most addictive features with no downside in banning it.
Require a 20s delay before playing any video. Would make essentially no difference to watching TV episodes or films, but would effectively nuke short-form video.8
Require all platforms to have the default feed

 as people you follow, in chronological order. Reduces algorithmic effects.
Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content. As above, but more robustly.
Require users to use real names. Much of the worst content is produced by anons; it would also make it easier to hold people to account for things that are banned in real life, such as libel or incitement to violence.
Require all platforms to provide a suite of user tools. This might include hard blocks, ability to detag yourself or restrict ‘quote tweets’, and community notes.

This summer: DO NOT FALL FOR THE TOTE BAG SCAM Ok they're not really a scam but they always fall off the shoulders and the whole weight of whatever was inside it hits the inside of your elbow and it hurts and you have to always dedicate a hand to keeping it on your shoulder which gets tiring

I'm more well adjusted irl (which is why I don't really post) but as I look up and see both a general indifference to transphobia plus faceless pundits pontificating about whether it's ok to stomp on our heads while we're drowning in fascist mud, I'll choose to be incisive rather than deferential
