The biggest thing holding bluesky back is that it's too MUCH like twitter, in that it's run by a bunch of clueless tech dipshit bigots and aspiring sex pests too stupid to know how to code a social media site that allows you to make private accounts
Some political pr guy somewhere: "look this purity testing will get you nowhere, we've got to court the misogynist demographic or we'll lose credibility"
Anna Horroridge@anna-orridge.bsky.social · 6h agoThe problem with Melania Trump is that she has championed fascism and enabled massive corruption. Not that she emigrated from Eastern Europe and was once an adult model. Why is this so difficult for some people?
“Hey I’m gonna be late for the briefing that school we’re about to blow up because this country isn’t letting our proxy state do genocide easier. I have to pray first” is a joke a Warhammer writer would cut as being too obvious
I think military chaplains in the modern military are really funny as a concept tbh. Like “guy who willingly signs up to be part of the most evil military on earth but is worried about his immortal soul” is a really good character
Imagine becoming Hillary Clinton on purpose.
relatedly, we gotta go harder on "sex is also a social construct. sex is the gendering of the body."
What the hell is going on at @kotaku.com this past week where they're just going "aw jeez look at all these cool AI games"
The book A People's History of Florida 1513-1876 really taught me so much I never learned growing up in Florida. Not only did Seminole never sign a treaty but a big reason for the govt waging war against them was they refused to hand over Black ppl who had freed themselves. Fought in solidarity.
My friend was raped when we were 17. She only wanted the morning after pill, but I insisted we report it. I sat with her as the officer told her he thought she was a liar; my friend ran out of the police station sobbing. I think of this whenever someone says "you should have gone to the cops"
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 2d agoThe police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.
If workers are 'too critical to strike' then the gov should meet their demands. Simple as 🤷🏻♀️
'If you are a Republican, the Democratic party is the place for you.' We've finally arrived a the part where Dems stop pretending to be any different than Republicans.
Dr. Annie Andrews@drannieandrews.com · yesterdayIf you’re a Republican feeling left behind by your party, this is a campaign for you.
Your regular reminder that in 2023 I was asked on Women’s Hour to be interviewed by Emma Barnett about Alice’s inquest. I said no, because Emma is GC, but I’d go on with someone else. They didn’t engage with me after that. The BBC is biased. It’s anti-trans and anti-anyone who supports trans people.
Mike (They/Them) 🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🏴@mxmike.co.uk · 2d agoBethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
Friends. I, too wrote off Digger trailers as a pretentious ham-fisted satire about climate change & oligarchy starring actors unaffected by the troubles of the industry. Turns out it might be one of the smartest, funniest, most tragic films about storytelling and I was just being a judgmental bitch.
If I understand what’s allegedly happening right now: Ukraine destroyed a bunch of Russian data centres and all the far-right bots on X immediately went silent and suddenly traditional Québécois folk songs started going viral? Do I have this basically correct?
"Women are trying to take away our gender swapped 11 year old anime Harry Potter waifu fan fiction character!" Incels and nazis are commiting mass seppuku on the funniest possible sword
The Russian tanker believed to be carrying diesel fuel to the US was actually carrying urea ammonium nitrate instead. x.com/Michellewb_/...
WarTranslated (Dmitri)@wartranslated.bsky.social · 2d agoThe first Russian diesel shipment is reaching the US East Coast barely 24 hours post announcement, indicating the pact preceded its public reveal as the tanker Minerva Zen departed St. Petersburg back on September 22.
“We’re making the right decisions to reinvest in the business, after an all-time low, we’ve started to return to growth, more than 2 to 3 times what we were" People realize this is a nothing statement that says nothing, right? Right?

Every media outlet seems to just now be realizing that when people don't have free time and money, we stop doing stuff and spending money. Novel concept.
Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 2d agoThis article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
BARCLAYS DESK: “.. let’s face facts; the combined disclosed lab revenues of circa $150bn .. is not going to cut it when the ecosystem needs well in excess of $1trn .. I’ve yet been presented with a credible framework as to where this money is going to come from ..”
Almost every hobby or passtime I've had my entire life - comic books, action figures, trading cards, personal computers, even *the movies* - has been consumed by a bunch of gambling addicts desperate for some new speculative market and we should make gambling illegal because it's their fucking turn
