average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
if you could build a Geiger counter for malevolent energy the shit radiating off me right now would sound like a theramin
you'll know it's happened when four different palace coups try to fit through the same door
I don’t know when It Will Happen, but I do know it’s going to be extremely funny
This is the moment RFK Jr. has been waiting for. Mister Junior sir this is your moment to show all us libtards. Everything we told you was unhealthy needs to go up the Trumphole now. This is your time
when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work
Bluesky right now ...
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art. It's never just about pornographic films.
I'm genuinely curious to see what they'll do if he dies in office. Do they go for a "family and friends only" style funeral, or do they go full state funeral and risk a repeat of his birthday?
He has been giving the impression of someone who's had a memento mori applied directly to the brain hard enough to finally leave a mark. I wonder how much James Dobson dying at 89 played into that. He knew the man personally, though fuck knows if he bothered to retain that information.
Target’s outgoing CEO, Brian Cornell is set to become executive chair of the board. 💁🏾♀️ And leading a board as executive chair is lucrative, earning multi-million dollar packages when salary, bonuses, equity & benefits are all included. So in other words, keep boycotting.
This is just textbook 1930’s fascism
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
Welcome to Bluesky.
Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."
Well. I am cancelling my GymGroup membership because they are happily abiding by the flawed EHRC interim guidance and instituting transphobic policies. Please share this so that other queer members have this info and can make informed choices.
I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️

If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: Doesn’t matter if it’s awful Doesn’t matter if it’s nice If it confirms your bias, check it twice! ::clap clap::
Bottom line is that anti trans politics is part of fascist politics and you can’t fight fascism by taking on and surrendering to its ideas
It's like waiting to hear how a negotiation went between Hans Gruber and Ralph Wiggum. You already know. But somehow it will still be worse than you think.
We would all be so rich if we didn't... y'know... have basic human decency.
Will there be advanced classes after the first one where I pay you to tell me why being even more miserable drove people even further away?
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
i love that these guys went to quantico thinking they'd spend their careers hunting hannibal lecter or worst case scenario entrapping mentally ill muslim teens but instead they have to redact trumps name out of thousands of boxes of sex files and then walk a beat
Fuck that and fuck him, that weasely little quisling
As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards
Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
people might say if you jail one president for crimes youll end up jailing all presidents for crimes to which i would say rad
The Towel Wasps are branching out.
If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
![[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihjvnz2ttxl7z4a2b3a4kylubobgvqxmjhwz6yuetuztzoc4g2s4y@jpeg "Click to view full size")
"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you
“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?
if only men had another demographic to talk to 😔
There is nothing that gets my red flag meter going quite like men saying things like "it was hard meeting women because I was interested in (insert nerdy thing here)" when I have distinct memories of certain kinds of men in nerdy thing specifically and repeatedly excluding me from nerdy thing.
Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!
Congrats to Hulk Hogan for making it 7 days without using the N-word.
This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wome...
Every blue-haired they/them liberal arts grad living in NYC is tougher than this sad little bitch.
Wet dreams of people at power never change. They only wait for the right moment of less resistance. Let's prove it's not that moment. Not now, not ever.
Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech
David Zaslav will be CEO of the new, Discovery-free "Warner Bros." He traded reality TV to become the mogul of Hollywood's most storied studio. And all it took was a failed $43b merger, the loss of half the company's market valuation, and thousands of jobs. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/28/w... #FilmSky
Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."
I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.
“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.
“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned
in fact many of us would be delighted to get rid of sexual predator bill clinton you’re threatening us with a good time here
Anyway, time to call and email Visa and Mastercard. I suggest you all do the same. Additionally, sign this petition from the ACLU. Info on contacting Visa/Mastercard: bsky.app/profile/iant... ACLU Petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...
The dumbest most boring and hateful losers stomping their feet and getting whatever they want is getting really really old
I FEEL THE NEED TO TAP THE JOHN WATERS SIGN REALLY HARD LATELY.
Same. Link is a good fighter. Why is he being punished for my terrible reflexes? 😂
"This key is block, and this key is parry, and this boss uses this sequence of-" Look mate, I already have a job, okay? I'm just here to have a good time.
it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught
Romantic nationalism has so much to answer for. "We'll just invent shit wholecloth because it stands to reason this is what Our Rustic Ancestors would have believed/worn/etc."
This shit makes me want to *scream*. IT CANNOT SELF-REFLECT BECAUSE THERE IS NO SELF IT IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING ANYTHING IT APOLOGISES FOR SHIT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT MAKES STUFF UP ALL THE FUCKING TIME
im always taken aback by just how much cis people will humiliate themselves to be dicks to trans people. like sorry, youre confused about pronouns? how did you make it thru 6th grade english you slimy dipshit? why are you going on podcasts to advertise youre too stupid to understand simple concepts?
Which admittedly gets pretty funny when the men it upsets are the execs and writers of the company that owns the character. 👍
"Meat shield for more valuable infantry" is pretty non combat, so I don't know what he's complaining about.
I threw my (admittedly middle-aged) back out just looking at the picture of that sofa. 10k for a foam mattress thrown over an Ikea bedframe? Nice work if you can get it, I guess.
*taps mic* Ok, here’s The Thing www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪
Colbert should just run for President. I mean, it worked for Trump when his show was cancelled.
there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3
So it's piracy and harm when people share ROMs... but it's "business" and "the future" when AI companies eat everything in sight.
The United States summed up in two headlines.
one of the saddest things about video games using generative AI for bulk environmental decals and posters and stuff is they’re such cool opportunities to expand lore and sneak in jokes and leaving a computer to spit out generic malformed gibberish just smacks of not giving a shit
Sooo DuckDuckGo is officially goated. WHAT?! You mean I don’t need to download complicated website blacklist plug-ins? I can just turn this shit off???
Whenever someone—and it’s usually an agèd, agèd man—asks where all the great writers are today, I usually think two things. First, it’s a sign they don’t read much contemporary work: they don’t know who the important writers are now, and they mistake their knowledge gap for a gap in the real world.
people discovering that age verification laws are bad, privacy-invasive nightmares that chill speech and intimidate adults from participating online
this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works
Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.
Grok is a full blown nazi now.
Yup. With the added "use your eyedrops, idiot" for some of us. It's amazing how much better your vision is through corneas that aren't about to shrivel away to dust. 👍
And when these photos appear in textbooks in a couple of decades, they'll tell their grandkids that Everyone Was Doing It and How Were They To Know It Was Wrong.
In that sense, it really has been Harry Potter and the Rabble Of Baying Scum all along: a tiny gaggle of real, important people, cruelly disrespected by a mass of impertinent peasants who wrongly believe their views have meaning or importance, and require firm correction.
My new campaign is the “make ICE agents so demoralized they quit” campaign.
The guy who wrote this piece is Callum Borchers, a WSJ reporter that repeatedly helped bosses fight against remote work early and often. You can dismiss everything he says, he never talks to workers, only bosses. He's full of shit
So DICE is about to get the Bioware treatment, is what you're telling me. Better get those CVs updated, guys. ...I hate EA so much.
If I’m knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *need* an LLM. If I’m not knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *trust* an LLM.
this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day
they ask politicians like Mamdani if they are communists but they never ask anyone if they are a fascist and that's all you really need to know
If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.
Should humanity exist? Let’s ask a man who cofounded an online payment-processing platform 27 years ago
Andrew is of Italian heritage has he once apologised for mussolini? No? Disgraceful, need a written statement disavowing benito today
More of this from Democrats, please. Education is a winning issue for Democrats as long as we fight for public schools.
why am i not surprised he doesn’t understand that no means no
Aside from the fact Starlink is run by an overt white supremacist, this is why you don't want to redirect billions in taxpayer money away from 5G and fiber and toward a congested satellite network:
Rowling: [rising over the stall divider] excusse me i sssaw you acrossss the bar and couldn't help but notice your sssussspiciousssly narrow pelvisssss
JK Rowling: i was jusst thinking, maybe we should ssecretly photograph women in public bathroomss Rowling: you know, in casse they're transss Stephen Fry: so um Fry: i don't think we should be friends anymore Rowling: omg that came out of nowhere
The term for this is “ethnic cleansing.”
Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.
I have beaten the sex pest who was in the primary and who you were probably endorsing for Mayor Forgive me he was disgusting so perverted and so old
