people with platforms and money can’t artificially manufacture the je ne sais quoi that makes social media accounts popular, which usually begins with being funny and not saying stupid or pugnacious things. either you learn that or you get poster’s madness. you can’t do it on your own terms.
austin (@bainard.bsky.social) reply parent
to put it differently, if you want to be friends with the punks, you listen to punk music and dress like a punk. if you want to be a goth, you listen to siouxsie and wear black lipstick. your mom telling the neighbor kids they have to be friends with you stops having salience after age 10.

the answer to “why aren’t people nicer to me on [xyz social media platform]” is always “make better posts”, which is something that tech honchos and article-writers cannot handle because that would involve them having better ideas and ideologies.
austin (@bainard.bsky.social) reply parent
it’s merely an encouragement mechanism to drive people to make better posts.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

This survey is very clearly trying to astroturf approval for a military occupation of Chicago. I feel like most of the people in Chicago would rather the brownshirts, jackboots, and such stay home, but that's me.

Seems like Intel is either: 1. Complaining because they got what they wanted (file under: "What did you think was going to happen?") 2. Attempting to engineer a situation where US gov't contractors can only buy Intel chips 3. Doing a pump-and-dump 4. Some combination of the above three.

we need to stop pretending that the 80s didn't suck major shit. quirky semi-unique corporatist slop isn't better than the minimalist thing we have now, you just didn't have to pay rent back then.
