White ppl the only ones that felt unity after 9/11 bc they all could openly focus their bloodlust on Muslims

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 16h ago

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

The weeks after 9/11 were filled with unhinged Islamophobia and any claim that we were completely united explicitly places them on the outside of who you consider to be American

If you’re wearing an Apple Watch I’m not speaking to you

We have to start treating people with Apple Watches like Meta Glasses wearers. Except this might be worse actually, in that there's no little light the perverts have to disable. www.androidauthority.com/apple-watch-...

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

welcome to 2020s tech. we got - pervert glasses - wiretap - wiretap - wiretap - wiretap - the button that does nothing - we outta ram - we outta hard drives - we outta graphics cards - ten trillion vibe coded apps that nobody uses - wiretap

NEW: The new Apple Watches double as AI-powered listening bugs for generating convo "recaps" or transcripts of any previous 15 seconds. But fear not, Apple says, this data isn't sent to Apple/gets encrypted, speakers aren't ID'd, and there's a chime for the 15-second thing. @lhn.bsky.social reports:

In addition to the bad framing he also buys into salience by saying “that’s right” when the interviewer says it’s an important issue in Texas. Your opponents are picking on kids, in this case trans kids who are suffering and dying from discrimination. Lead with that or get a new career.

Trump claims that after 9/11, "I went down, I was building a building in New York, and I went down there very shortly thereafter -- the following day, you couldn't go down the same day -- and we worked long and hard"

PETE HEGSETH AT THE NEO NURENBERG TRIALS OF 2029: The president had made a formal request to intercept drug dealers before they hit the US border, so that request already means that I needed to execute strikes on either foreign territory or international waters. NATHAN FIELDER: okay.

pay living wages for all workers. tax the shit out of billionaires. happy labor day.

Tonight we joined our comrades in nearby Frederick, Maryland where #ICE had been camped out for days, terrorizing a neighborhood. At around 2:17 in the video is when they start beating the shit out of peaceful protestors with batons. How is this allowed to happen? @maddow.bsky.social

Between shit like this, the entire GOP loving AI, Linda McMahon trying to force it into schools, Musk making Mechahitler, and data centers being built in predominantly black communities, there's a very obvious theme here and yet the AI stans on "our side" pretend it isn't there. Funny that.

www.forbes.com/sites/maryro... The EU rejected this beef due to safety standards, but it’s being imported to the U.S. duty-free anyway. Why are we lowering standards on what we eat? If it isn't safe enough for the EU, it shouldn't be on our plates!

And this is why we need to help people stop focusing on a brand name and start hating the surveillance state as a whole.

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.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
