Bluesky being the website for affluent 38 year olds who gaslight zoomers about their economic prospects is honestly genuinely funny as a punch line

as a lot of us unfortunately know, online gaming spaces are full of people just casually saying slurs the last couple years have seen an absolute explosion of jewish slurs and it is noticeably different than it used to be

It is impossible not to notice the rise in casual antisemitism online and in person. If you don’t see it, you’re lying to yourself.

since there’s an antisemitism row on here i just wanted to say that the number one thing you can do about that rn is pressuring everyone you know on there (and orgs you’re a part of/interface with regularly) to get the fuck off of X

vibecoded modpacks are getting quite good, i found one that made copycat gregtech in its own 26.3 pack with like six mods. has its own version of JEI, galacticraft, some TFC stuff, and EMC

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

rev. howard arson@theophite.bsky.social · 7d ago

one of the exhausting things about modern antisemitism is antisemites insisting that perfectly normal behavior like diaspora nationalism is a sinister conspiracy, and then diaspora nationalists insisting that describing the same perfectly normal behvior is blood libel

Most of the talk about forgiveness and restoration is really about convenience. You don't want the hassle of kicking the sex pest out of your spaces, you don't want the Inconvenience of having to find a new video games youtuber to watch, so the onus is placed on people who have been hurt to forgive.

You catch that big video essay last night?

net positive, i think most of what people attribute to "negative effects" of social media actually stem from the brief reign of anomalously centralised media like TV coming to an end. as with all centralised systems, the bill doesn't come due until the end

dame@dame.is · last wk.

it’s been 23 years since the launch of Myspace on the whole, has social media had a net positive or a net negative impact on the world? if net negative, why do you still use and benefit from it?

this is more important than niche internet arguments make it seem: if LLMs don't work, who cares that Palantir is rolling it out for surveillance? Hell, maybe it's even good, if the state's machines start hallucinating the addresses of random Trump supporters when dispatching ICE. But they do work.

feels like there is a group of smart and well-intentioned people who long ago made up their minds that AI Is Bad, swore off using it, and now get all their info about AI from each other. not saying they're wrong that ai is bad! but i think they're gradually losing touch with what it is and does

Zafar Ghani been arrested by Malaysia authorities. For years I've had messages from Zafar about his precarious situation in Malaysia & that of the Rohingya. Trying to get more support, raise awareness & find solutions, I know I'm not the only one... he's never given up. #FreeZafarGhani

Rohingya Refugee News (RRN)@rohingyarefugee.news · last wk.

Malaysia just dragged Zafar Ghani into court in handcuffs. He faces up to 10 years in prison under the Societies Act for being the president of MERHROM, a Rohingya human rights group operating publicly since 1998. www.rohingyarefugee.news/p/the-absurd... Here is the insanity of this case: 🧵👇

this kind of stuff is not just unproductive, it’s actively counterproductive. while i think a reasonable person can become heated enough to write these sorts of posts once in a while, this kind of posting *is* the default mode for a lot of folks vis a vis anyone they dislike, and that’s *bad*

I'm opening up a new 1500USD donation goal on my Ko-fi. Me and my family have been left financially stranded once again, more details in the screenshotted message. As before, even if you can't donate, I appreciate even just spreading the word around... ko-fi.com/beholdmaxine God damn it.

i have decided to submit to the toxic positivity regime of my own free will, i hope this grants me a better position within the party i think theres a lot of really cool media coming out rn after an early 20s slump and i dont expect that to stop, esp in horror and comedy

i challenge you to post one optimistic take or belief today on bluesky this needn’t be toxic positivity, just good ol’ run of the mill optimism/hope in the face of a torrential downpour of doom

After seeing endless posts on the importance of “third spaces” I finally found one near me - annndddd it was filled with media illiterate normies who didn’t laugh at my Deltarune references. So yeah, I'll stay ‘terminally online’ - at least until this city has more fandom-friendly pickleball courts

roko’s modern basilisk@girlpython.northsky.social · 2w ago

this comes from the same politics that subjugates non-human animals and ofc, some humans are going to be treated as more human than others. cannot stress enough that the tower of babel we call “humanity” needs to be destroyed for the good of all sapience

bionationalism or “human first” politics may be the largest danger of the 21st century

This kind of provocation followed by a crashout and misgendering over a benign informational comment is fucking weird behavior

perhaps one day this planet will come to reckon with how 5,000 years of so-called "human civilization" is built on the rape and murder of countless nameless women. when all institutions are fraternities, all fraternities need to be burned down. all "brotherhoods" annihilated for people to be free.
