gently reminding the well-intentioned-but-misguided fellow AI haters that there is no "AI detector" that actually works. yes even that one everyone says actually works, that thing gets bamboozled by emdashes. 🙃 it is more reliable to use your own brain (and ask other people if they concur)

this article paints Bluesky as "less a bubble than an expression of the multitude of ideological factions that had united under the umbrella of non-MAGAness . . . to argue with one another". I agree, and I have a name for it. instead of the Overton Window, bsky has adopted an Overton Windshield 🧵

Bluesky was right all along and will accept your apology any time

Many savvy pundits on X framed the 2024 election as a massive political realignment and Bluesky as a “copium” den for progressives in a bubble. Boy, were they wrong.

elon musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars demonizing trans people in texas and democrats flipped the entire fucking state trans rights forever baby

Celebrate — then hold everyones ass to flames. All dems combined. If they don’t prosecute all these assholes to the fullest, abolish ICE, rid us of data centers/AI, stop funding Israel, and protect Trans and Black lives then what is even the point. No backsliding. No Fettermans or Synemas allowed.

Absolutely wild list of results for data centre ballot measures in the US "that's 28 measures across 25 localities, all opposing data centres" - EVERY SINGLE LOCALITY VOTED TO OPPOSE DATA CENTRES WILD RESULTS + A CLIMATE WIN 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂 threadreaderapp.com/thread/21177...

I haven't commented on the celebrity deaths we had so far this year, but I want to push back against the perception 2026 is an awful year because of the ones we had. No, it's just recency bias, and the fact we're now in the period where the last Silent Gens and most older Boomers will die out.
