Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
It’s incredibly wild that Craig Brittain successfully used follow farming to rebrand himself on here given his background
Timothy Burke@bubbaprog.xyz · 3d agowhy is anybody following someone who said he's "the person most dedicated to advancing Donald Trump's agenda"
the only thing to be said about covid lockdowns is that it revealed the startling number of people who feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract that they also do not feel bound by
airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027
I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
The Marx quote came up and it always makes me think of one of the GOAT tweets

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.
I'm an ivory billed woodpecker truther and I think they're still living in Cuba. We need to lift the sanctions and invest in bird research.
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 6d agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer?

Gwen is one of the kindest people on this site. She called out (in the gentlest, sincerest way possible) a game show host who, instead of politely acknowledging or just ignoring the rebuke, responded with all the mediocre-white-man sensitivity of a Richard Dawson going in for an unwanted grope.
there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.
