Hi I’m Travis. I’m a lefty full-stack dev in Virginia. My friend and I run cheerfulghost.com. You may recognize me as @nottravisnewman on Twitter
Liberals: well there were valid concerns about trans people but now the case is decided, the fight is over, and that's that The Trump regime:
The economist is getting destroyed in the replies. And it’s deserved.
The next generation of illiberal leftism is gaining ground. It is time to fight back econ.st/3RPYFPV
There are 3 kinds of Bluesky user: 1. Was just kicked in the head by a horse 2. Raised in Plato's cave where they were only shown 2010s tumblr posts 3. Normal
I remember as a kid being very disappointed when I found out what vanishing cream does.
Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, Pebbles, and Bam Bam
what are the Six Genders? wrong answers only
This is barbaric. There’s no interpretation of trans folks that makes them a dangerous political group. Trans rights are not a threat to you
The White House says they will “identify and neutralise” political groups that are anti-American, “radically pro-transgender” and anarchist. (www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...)
I feel like Bluesky never got a good algorithm going for the home feed and twitters is just getting worse. We are in the “everything sucks” portion of the web
This isn’t about discord but it could be about discord
So @germnetwork.com is finally widely released and you can put a button on your profile. Anyone using it? I tested it a bit in beta but it would be fun to actually DM someone with it.
This is one of my favorite jokes in a long time. I’ve been thinking about it for a couple days now. Just randomly cracking up at the loud suitcase
A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.
an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok
You ever unfollow someone who is amusing, insightful, kind, interesting, or all of the above, who just posts sooooo much it dominates your feed?
Singal uses a platform to harm people. Maybe adjust the TOS
There's the substance of the signal issue, and then there's the pattern of behavior that jay was responding to -- the constant, _constant_ off topic responses that make this tedious. On the substance, it's really just that the guy didn't violate the ToS. I'm sorry, that's just it
Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
@moderation.bsky.app get your house in order
Welp, it’s time to publish this: Bluesky Moderation has affirmatively dropped the ball with respect to allowing the transgender community on this site to protect itself. I have a blocklist, titled “Transphobic”. You can’t see it. Bluesky Community hid it.
As an American AND having family who owns guns I was dying even before I got to the picture on the bottom🤣🤣🤣357mm handgun I was all, the fuck do you own, the big bertha?
Arch linux is like the distro for the sort of people who use Linux
Twitter has been filling up with Doctor Who content for me lately. Anybody over here? @mitthjedisilk15.bsky.social you ever watch? I think you’d love it
The @washingtonpost.com is cooked. No longer equipped to be the “paper of record,” it is a shell of the respectability it used to feign.
the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."
