I think more content creators/vtubers should speak out against bigotry from time to time, even at the risk of losing out on opportunities and sponsorships. The cost of authenticity is worth it if we make the world better for people who need it.

Earlier today, the discarded upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket impacted on the Moon. As part of a coordinated observing campaign, our Very Large Telescope detected spectral lines of sodium and lithium gas in the impact plume lasting for 5-10 minutes after impact. 🔭 🧪 📷 ESO/C. Schmidt et al. 1/4

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

Cishet white man gets snarky in response to valid criticism of his media habits, refuses to change, still escapes with good reputation/progressive sheen. Trans woman who lightly criticized him is lambasted in fascist media for weeks on end, banned from website, screamed at by everyone. A Tuesday.

Anyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all. ⬇️

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

I love (not being even a little snarky or ironic) when folks discover/rediscover how even a completely middle of the road consumer tube is bright and colorful and alive in ways that even the highest end panels aren't.

Ok I get what @dark1x.bsky.social has been talking about. This does look a lot better than any lcd I’ve used. I think it might even be brighter than my oled tv.

Alongside being a friendly queer woman who loves space and science, I do my best to always be real. And my heart breaks for others with more of a public eye on them who catch even more shit just for calling out the truth of enduring racial injustice in the world and even our queer community.

Whiteness has taken countless things from me throughout my life, and it is infuriating to see it diminish many voices, including my friends'. I've moderated myself for others' repulsion to reality too many times, as you know a lot of folks may get their guard up or even turn on a dime to hurt you.

The fragile defensiveness of many white queer people is a threat to other queer folks. Many make excuses for it, but it hurts and terrorizes countless people. You cannot be for queer liberation without acknowledging your own place in the injustices that haunt our communities.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

On a similar note: Some people on the internet aren't native English speakers. So consider having some grace and patience before mockery and dismissal.

This was not a cancellation. It was a murder.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

yeah. Asking four million people to give up the hope for themselves to have equal rights is considered more realistic than asking one hundred politicians to change their minds about being bigots

Jim Henley Music@jimhenleymusic.bsky.social · 4d ago

“Pragmatists” always insist political success requires solving the harder collective-action problem—a diffuse mass of people with little power coordinate their rhetoric and actions—rather than the simpler one: a much smaller group of people with actual power be less terrible.

As much as radicals get criticized for being "unrealistic," demanding entire demographics facing literal genocide always maintain mild rhetoric and actions is an absolutely delusional level of conformity to expect. I don't think that gets said enough.

it all just sort of makes sense, now, huh. all this shit was just generated by AI and he believed it all enough to parrot it on his podcast, and his fact checking team had to clean up after him this is a really massive blow to popular science. Everything is in question now. does he realize this?
