La Conquête du Panini @botsnack.bsky.social · Nov 6
Text from a prospect.org article: The year before a fulminating Nazi rally in a packed Madison Square Garden in New York, FDR warned that the global rise of fascism was the result of democratic governments doing the opposite of the New Deal and protecting an economic status quo enriching a tiny handful at the expense of everyone else. "Democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people of those nations disliked democracy, but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity, of seeing their children hungry while they sat helpless in the face of government confusion and government weakness through lack of leadership," he said in a 1938 radio address. "Finally, in desperation, they chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat."

Interesting call to action re FDA policy if you take prescription medications.

ProPublica @propublica.org · 12h
We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I'm not a harassed user, so I haven't experienced benefit.
I've seen the downside.
Technocrat sez: detaching should have a social component: e.g. "detach and report* or some such, with anti-slaps.. but oy vey that's a lot.

It sucks that whenever I find some Jewish site or foundation or something I have to dig into whether they're ethno-nationalists. Posner appears to have been a secular dude who believed in education so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I think she over-reacted and had a lot of weird ego in it, but the interviewer was dumb too.

Also has left incalculable damage to the utility of the web.
10 years ago there were script kiddies spinning content to game search algo updates, now it seems like the call is coming from inside the house.

And I doubt that many people even really know the tiktoks and telegram groups. I get the feeling most people are going on vibes, or it's a shift seeded by specific knowledge and propogated by common sense, even within a continuingly supportive media ecosystem.

It took half a million Palestinian lives and psychotic Nazis posting tiktoks in the dresses they looted from the women they killed for this shift to happen

‘A historic shift’: More polls show what our University of Maryland Critical Issues Poll has been showing: a dramatic shift away from sympathy with Israelis to sympathy with Palestinians among all Americans in the past of two years.

And were I a journalist, I'd probably want them bucketed anyway!
And also probably tied to a local tool so I'm actually keeping an archive and blah blah which is now totally possible again because open APIs yay

It's also really fucking pathetic that the core of so much hasan rage is his advocacy for Palestinian people.

He annoys me in plenty of ways, but I don't need find a sneaky takedown of anyone I disagree with. Argue on the merits.

I think it holds a special place with many nerds who might be in the industry now.
Does for me, though I didn't pursue film/CGI, but have peers who did.

It's cool that people are building on ATproto, but like really it'd just be nice to have a non Google auth like Twitter used to do, for discourse, discord, matrix would be neat...

This sucks.
I liked this.
I didn't use it to dogpile or antagonize anyone, it just provided some nice useful metrics for who I wanted to interact with.

Just like many like to say that tech is neutral in and of itself, tools can be deemed pro or anti social depending.
