Introverts are often told to socialize and talk more, while extroverts are rarely encouraged to shut the fuck up.
It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
Justin Hendrix@justinhendrix.bsky.social · 6d ago"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
I love the way that 3M used their sticky tape to store iron oxide samples (from their mining operations?). Someone realised it could store magnetic signals & magnetic audio tape was born. 3M was a leading manufacturer.
OH SHIT DUDES THIS IS A VERY BIG DEEAL I have spoken before, you may recall, of my suspicion that Leo dropping the hammer on SSPX this summer was the first step to a bigger purge of which Opus Dei is the final boss. if Francis was ready to kick them out before he died, Leo would have known that
Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 6d agoEl País publishes two letters from Pope Francis in which he accused Opus Dei of engaging in political intrigues like an organized crime syndicate and suggested he was prepared now to ban the organization outright. The organization now exercises extraordinary influence in one country: the US.
HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

it's not an exaggeration to say that jk rowling is the world's most powerful and prominent transphobe outside of elon musk it's easy to not buy a tesla and it's easy to not watch the harry potter tv show
The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
Vamos a decirlo de una forma que todo el mundo lo entienda: 🫡Si eres TURISTA SÍ puedes tener un Abono (turístico) 🤔si eres un ESTUDIANTE de otra CA con pocos recursos y dependes de una BECA con cuantía por desplazamiento (padrón en la CA original), NO puedes tener un Abono Medida 100% REGRESIVA
Diego Casado@esmadriz.bsky.social · last wk.El Gobierno de Ayuso prohíbe que los estudiantes que llegan a Madrid para este curso puedan sacarse cualquier abono si no están empadronados. No les deja acogerse al joven, pero tampoco al normal de adultos. Tienen que hacer todos los viajes CON EL BONO DE 10 www.eldiario.es/madrid/somos...
Within two years, Australia has managed to drastically reduce its use of fossil fuels because #batteries supply the electricity at peak times. We need much more #energystorage for the energy transition! #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport? Naturally talented athletes. And people with high hemoglobin. And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches. Why should they be allowed to compete? “Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.
Kimberly-Clark, one of the world’s biggest tissue makers, says it has made a “Goldilocks discovery”: hesperaloe, a spiky arid-climate plant that yields fibre stronger and softer than wood, with a fraction of the water and no felled trees. buff.ly/AZgB2Bp #ShareGoodNewsToo

Teen girls' mental health has been on the decline over the past decade as sexual abuse has been on the rise. But all we ever hear about is how sad boys/men are, how horrifying it is that they aren't having sex, that birth rates are catastrophic, & feminism hurts boys' mental health.
Maggie Harrison Dupré@mharrisondupre.bsky.social · 3w agoNEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...
En nuestro viaje de regreso a Tenerife he seguido pensando en el gran Juan Tamariz y en su mágica palabra: ichantatachan! Y ha resultado que, si la deformo adecuadamente, se convierte en un #ambigrama que, al girarlo 180°, se convierte a su vez ¿mágicamente? en Juan Tamariz.
Me gustaría compartir una pequeña batalla de reclamaciones de la que he salido airoso 😊 Hace unos meses, Europcar intentó cobrarme más de 400€ por un pequeño arañazo en un coche alquilado en Bélgica. Hoy, el European Car Rental Conciliation Service (ECRCS) ha fallado a mi favor: no me cobran nada
Mi pequeño homenaje, en forma de torpe #ambigrama, al gran Juan Tamariz, que tantos momentos de asombro proporcionó a medio mundo. Al derecho se lee “Tamariz», al ponerlo bocabajo, girando la pantalla 180º, se puede leer «El mago». La RAE debería incluir como sinónimo de mago la palabra Tamariz.
Javier Fernández Panadero@javierfpanadero.bsky.social · 3w agoTamariz, parte de nuestra vida. Gracias por todo. Buen viaje.
Oh, for fuck's sake. If you had an "AI" generate the text, then you're not the author. "Oh, but the ideas are mine." Motherfucker, ideas aren't copyrightable, and neither is the text if "AI" barfed it out. In neither a logistical nor legal sense does the term "author" convey to you.
Richard Van Noorden@richvn.bsky.social · 3w agoDean of Science at Stellenbosch University writes that although AI generates almost all the words for his articles (including this one): "AI did almost all of the writing. I remain the expert and the thought leader behind the piece." www.nature.com/articles/d44...

My god, this is so sad. She jumped off the screen as a kid actor in stuff like Remember the Titans, and she was a huge part of the Heroes s1 phenomenon. Nobody cares about “save the cheerleader, save the world” if she didn’t make them care about the cheerleader.

In 1924, the son of the president of the United States, with access to the best medical treatment, got a blister on his foot playing tennis, it got infected, there were no antibiotics, and he died of sepsis.

Just had dinner with some older Gen X people who are well-educated and every one of them had the whole "we just have to give up on trans people" attitude I want to talk a little bit about how I countered their arguments because maybe it will help some of you in similar convos (🧵)
