Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agoit's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

My main hope about BlueSky as a platform is that soon I won't have to care what the CEO of BlueSky says.
It is not at all strange that LLM-language fits so well into forums that are already dominated by a language of sloppy sameness, like LinkedIn posts or clickbait.
Loukas Christodoulou@loukas.bsky.social · yesterdayThe power of 'AI' text is simply yet another form of mass produced sameness. It is capital in the clothing of culture, rather than a form of expression. This means all forms of uniqueness and weirdness and particularity are what opposes this form of capital.
this is exquisite and stupid and i cannot stop giggling
Kevin Marks@kevinmarks.com · yesterdayStewart Lee did do an extended bit about Liddle, but also about Liddle's essential repetitive emptiness www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-tQ... - that's the start of the Liddle bit, so you don't get haunted by the Katie Hopkins bit.
"Yle's survey of UN polling statistics shows the U.S. is isolating itself from its allies. Russia votes more often in line with the position of the EU and NATO countries than the USA."

Beef is the top single cause of deforestation globally, by far. Next come oilseeds, especially soy and palm, but the vast majority of those is fed to livestock - chicken, pigs, dairy cows. We can't have our planet and eat it! We urgently need to shift diets away from animal-based foods.
Our World in Data@ourworldindata.org · 2d agoThe largest cause of deforestation is, and has been, the expansion of farmland. But the production of which products, in particular, has been driving this in recent decades? A recent study, published in Nature Food by Chandrakant Singh and Martin Persson, answered this question.

Nicola Miller@nicmiller.bsky.social · yesterday'A white man allegedly refused to let a sonographer scan his pregnant wife, telling the staff: "I don't want anyone from any ethnic background touching my woman"' This would have triggered a midwife-led assessment for DV and sexual violence.

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

"They're only hurting people because they are afraid of the bad people". That means they are one of the bad people. That's how collaboration and appeasement works.
