Holy fuck, America. This attack is grotesque on so many levels... It's not just vulgar attack, but also takes the conservative electorate to be so basic and easily baited... I truly hope it doesn't land

Stephen Miller: "It's very bold that Democrats would choose Texas to nominate their first transgender Senate candidate who's transitioning into a female. When Talarico goes in for a blood test, blood doesn't come out, instead soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett."

With all respect & love to my spectrum-y friends: for all the ways the world's been weird while transforming under the partial-seeing eye of coders... AI is now empowering the intuitive class & the world is about to get weirder. There's perhaps an autist-to-artist handoff afoot

This is legitimately amazing and I hope they succeed. A democratically-owned-and-operated airline would be incredible, and help drive prices down.

Every act of speech, even in service of #decentralization, is an act of centralization. Each expressed thought of language is uttered in the lingua franca of a central nervous system. Language is the master's tool with which we must perpetually try to dismantle the master's house.

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE SUPERVISED

Thx to @hypha.coop members for joining in a spontaneous guerrilla pilot of my #polislike "reaction canvas" app, from the audience of @jakehirschallen.bsky.social's @dxcsummit.bsky.social panel this past weekend :) cc @anaserrano.bsky.social polislike-partykit-reaction-canvas.patcon.partykit.dev

I brought this up to @jay.bsky.team in Vancouver as well. While Bluesky can be read as a generic, public platform without community boundaries, it also has subsets of community that can be targeted for specific conversations. Instead of NDAs and Google Meets, you could gate a pol.is by DID.

I was brought into this group last year by @patcon.bsky.social who I met in Newspeak House atending Pol.is related gatherings - a chain of events which speaks to the grassroots movement of the Voxit Community and the value of these convening places. www.linkedin.com/posts/policy...
