The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.
A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.
As someone who roots for a perpetually disappointing team (and a New Yorker), loved seeing the Knicks do the impossible!
We voluntarily show up to the microblogging site for liberal Millennials best described as "Twitter's Taiwan," we're not cool.
Cai@annenotation.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo many people on this website are worried about what's cool and none of you are cool! None of you are cool! You will never be cool! We are not cool people! Get over it
It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

After the long winter we deserved at least two months of mediocre baseball. Why do the Mets insist on ruining my spring?
It's complicated for me because I want the Mets to win but I set up a bot that places a $15 prop bet on every Mets hitter grounding out to second base and have already made $625,000 this year.
google gemini suggested emails are saving me hours of work per week and now I'm finally productive enough to put the gun all the way in my mouth instead of chickening out at the lips
there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true
I get the operational challenges, but how do the kids not love a “goblin’s fart”

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
Ad campaigns request to go dark all the time. For example, flurry of requests after Jan 6 or Queen Elizabeth’s death. Not a peep today, in case anyone wondered where corporations were at
For those keeping track at home: Since Christmas Eve the United States has bombed or carried out raids in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria and now Venezuela. And Congress' response has ranged from nothing to support.
RIP MTV thank you for not pivoting to vertical video
John Williams@worldoftelly.bsky.social · 7mo agoI’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)
The thing that bothers me about our post-pandemic COVID discourse is how much of it isn't about how to do things better next time, it's playing Monday morning quarterback. It's not about learning, it's about spending years trying to win arguments that people had online from March 2020.
Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social · 7mo agothis is a good response to In Covid's Wake what Kucharski gets right, crucially, is holding in tension the fact that the shutdown was brutally and inequitably costly, and the fact that not doing a shutdown would have been even more brutal and inequitable www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-di...

Jeffery C. Mays@jeffcmays.bsky.social · last yr.Monday’s mass shooting may put concerns over gun violence back on voters’ minds, and have already lead some to scrutinize Mr. Mamdani for his views on policing. “He clearly does not understand what public safety is all about,” said Cuomo w/ @emmagf.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...
“It’s difficult to believe the degradation of our information systems is by accident. If we’re unable to accurately report how and why we’re in this disaster, the people responsible won’t be held accountable. Their net worth continues to increase exponentially at the same clip as public ignorance.”
