I firmly believe I would be fine if a car hit me at 20 mph. I would simply jump onto the hood and do a cool roll to my feet on the other side

Mark Zuckerberg is straight up way more evil than Elizabeth Holmes but because he’s got a lot of money the tech press has to go to his little events and pretend his ideas are valid instead of being like “what’s up with that dumbass shirt?” and “don’t you regularly influence elections/genocides?”

I don't think I've ever believed in anyone the way Captain Sisko's family believes in him when he leads them to wander a desert in scorching heat for hours because he had a vision of a orb

Even as everyone's job becomes equally typing into ChatGPT, there will be excuses for why some of those people need to be billionaires and others Joe Schmoes. We'll continue to have some theory of Übermenschen and Untermenschen even as its ostensibly meritocratic basis becomes more and more absurd.

The most important reply I’ve had to this post. We’re now in a society where any trans person could be decided by the press to be their target of the day, and so every trans person is potentially at risk of this level of extremely public harassment. It’s so fucking grim. bsky.app/profile/goth...

Every day I wake up and wonder if today is the day that something like this will happen to me.

Reddit should not just let you hide subreddits, but you should be able to block and ignore any user who has ever submitted something to, like, r/True80sNostalgiaUnfiltered

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Recruiting people for a focus group by sending out incredibly obvious scam texts

David_j_roth@davidjroth.bsky.social

Convening a focus group of 30 people who have no idea what's going on and no expertise on basically any topic and just turning them loose. "Fuck me up," I tell them. "Just give me all the dumbest stuff you've got."

The shit Trump is putting Omar through is insane. If you see any person on here who posts a ton about hating MAGA but never say anything about Rep. Ilhan Oman, then you've got your proof they are (at best) unserious, if not silently in agreement with Trump's bigotry towards immigrants and Muslims

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

Trump’s goal is to intimidate me and get me to back down. That’s not going to happen. I will not be silenced, and I will not stop fighting for my constituents.

That insurance mascot was fine, it didn't bother me and I could just tune it out. But now you people won't stop talking about it

Oh cool, Turning Point UK is dabbling in assassinations

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

This is why I don't care when people are like, "you know data centers aren't just about AI right?" We can figure out how to make your youtube videos load 2% faster later

When I say, "keep New York out of Philly" I'm talking about the seemingly permanent scaffolding that's slowly popping up

The way news outlets treated the voting process was bad enough when Republicans used it to create narratives about their opponents "finding votes", now imagine what happens when every other dude goes to sleep thinking he just won a bunch of money on kalshi
