Calling it a bubble is to miss the point. Go to where a community suits you, and where you suit the community. Where you can get what you want. I don’t want fights any more. I want facts, freedom and fun - peppered with interesting information. Is that a bubble? Maybe, but a good one. 4/4

He cites users' ability to mute & block folks as a positive, which is good. It's also why right wing chuds thankfully can't get a foothold here - b/c they violate community norms & get nuclear blocked out of normal people's timelines. Bluesky isn't a *liberal* bubble - it's a *decency* bubble.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Bok #6 Når jeg har kjøpt over ti eks av denne skulle man tro jeg hadde lest den ferdig, tvert imot. boken har gjort meg så rasende underveis at jeg har vært nødt til å ta lange pauser flere ganger for å returnere. nettopp derfor er det så viktig. kjøp den, les og gi til alle bilhjernene du kjenner 👍

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

So Jared Leto's a wrong 'un and FIFA are bent. News on Pope's religious views still pending.

I say this with nothing but love in my heart for the fatherland but can you imagine any other country looking at wildfires and thinking "quick, get a philosopher on the line"

In the 1960s, NATO scientists treated biodiversity as a strategic asset. Inspired by Charles Elton's ideas, these scientists viewed (correctly) complex ecosystems as being less vulnerable to disruption by the disturbance of warfare: www.nytimes.com/2013/05/30/o... ... 1/3🧵

I don't think you are specieist if you take on a more holistic ecosystem perspective on islands (or consider the land ethic). Check out the book by fellow blueskyer @cepaea.bsky.social I think the case of brown rats wrecking island ecosystems is a very good demonstration of where animal rights

Evidently people who hold animal rights or compassionate conservation views (the same ideology) will view this as a moral issue. In their view I am a speciesist, which in a way I am. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species...

Animal rights activists tried to prevent eradication on Lundy, or perhaps we should call them anti Manx Shearwater activists. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england...

I strongly believe in giving the man a chance. But keeping Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary suggests the vicious attacks on immigrants and refugees, and self-defeating attempts to outrun the far right, are likely to continue. Which is pretty damn depressing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For the trolls gaslighting those of us who've been playing or watching football our whole lives, here's the fucking video. VAR and FIFA knowingly allowed an England goal that they're well aware should've been disallowed. The game shouldn't have gone to ET.

From the sports community on Reddit: England's goal against Norway was a result of the ball hitting the camera cable

apparently var and the sensor in the ball only activate when a favorite concedes a goal
