LIFE HACK FOR MEN: treat women like people actually

And then they’re like WHY DON’T WOMEN WANT TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS ANY MORE?

Ben Shapiro probably does not know enough history to even know this, but the way he is talking about Muslims as a nation within the nation who can never be integrated is almost verbatim what European nationalists said about Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

community: *proposes guardrails* police union: HOW DARE YOU SHOW THIS MONUMENTAL DISRESPECT TO THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY TO KEEP YOU SAFE FROM THE MONGRELS AND ANIMALS WHO WOULD DEVOUR YOU IF IT WERE NOT FOR THEIR BRAVERY BY DEMANDING THEY BURDEN THEMSELVES WITH "THE LAW"

It’s not a guardrails problem but rather a fascism problem.

weird how men built societies in which women could only access basic resources through men and are now trying to return us to that while also complaining that women who try to access resources through men are gold diggers

the same people who scream about muslims bringing shariah law to america are the ones who want to strip women and lbtqia+ people of their equality and enforce prayer in schools

i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

And we fund those mines too, every time we use a generative AI or buy a new smartphone.

Today's reminder that the current genAI boom is powered by GPUs manufactured with a mineral called coltan (and other rare earths, and cobalt) mined through the labor of enslaved children in Congo, and the US and UAE fund the paramilitaries which protect those mines and keep those children enslaved.

Today's daily reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

Oh, and Donald Trump is getting hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes through his crypto businesses from the Emiratis so we'll send them computer chips and even more weapons to keep the genocide going.

No matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.

I love how every tech company is like "hey, I wonder if we can turn our product into a suicide machine".

Alexandra Lahav@alahav.bsky.social · 12h ago

"TikTok’s algorithm pushed him thousands of videos about suicide, sadness, hopelessness and loneliness, right up until he killed himself." The company did this "by design" to test the effect on "daily active users" "one of the top data points by which Wall Street judges social media companies"

It's one thing to have bad opinions on here, whatever, but I really don't want to hear about how antisemitic al-Sayed is from people paying the world's richest Nazi so they have extra characters to tweet about it

The US clings to it's "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" or worse, "It is broke, but only effects poor people, so don't fix it" mentality. People warned that handling infrastructure this way is a national security risk but major expenditures for the public good is basically taboo at this point.

NEW: Cyberattacks on U.S. water supply now being reported in 12+ states and 100+ municipalities, though some may be unrelated to wave of suspected Iranian attempts. The nationwide threat follows years of ignored warnings and neglect to water systems. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/u...

Minor pet peeves: people who don't know any Canadians who try to poke fun by saying "a-boot." No one pronounces 'about' like that. Actually listen to the way Canadians speak, and you'll hear "a-boat."

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Just a quick re-introduction for new followers: I’m a German historian who writes about antisemitism from a comparative and global perspective. My most recent book provides a new look at anti-Jewish prejudice in Germany and the United States from the late 19th to the mid 20th century.

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The City Council voted 3-2 to install a network of cameras that photographs and logs the license plate of every vehicle entering and leaving the city. What’s missing is the conversation whether city workers and patrons want this. The full story: lataco.com/weho-flock-c... By Nik Roybal

Virginia has been the only state in the country to enforce a lifetime ban on voting for anyone convicted of any felony. The governor’s announcement on Friday restored voting rights to some 66,000 people.

This is the only state that was banning people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

wow what a blessing to exist

completely and utterly misunderstanding that people weren't "attracted" to bluesky, we were repulsed by twitter

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

This was supposed to be a libertarian utopia for crypto idiots but they caught a wave of leftists fleeing Twitter and they have been bitter about it ever since.

Conservative platforms: THIS IS THE ANTI-WOKE PLATFORM, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT FUCK OFF LIBTARD "Liberal" platforms: W-well we would like everyone to be here, we don't want to be an echo chamber. Y-you can even use some slurs if you want, we promise....

I cannot believe we're still having to do this. If you do NOT want DM's then *turn them off*. Also if you're following tens of thousands of people, catch this block follow-farmer/bot

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
