A reminder that bad culture takes from the Hell Site can and should remain there under quarantine. They do not have to be introduced to the BlueSky general population.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

when some people choose between a weekly injection or daily pill to regulate their hormones so as to align their body with their desired appearance i guess it's no big deal

Reiner as both a political and cultural figure is a grand lesson in how art matters. It’s not just the “art films” that matter, it’s the fun stuff too, the silly stuff, the seemingly inconsequential. It all matters because we matter, it’s all that deep because so are we.

People who believe the liberal arts are inherently bullshitting unsurprisingly extremely excited to replace the liberal arts with bullshitting at scale as a service and charging for it

I am begging you to keep making your thing, even if it is messy, even if you don't think it will sell. There are losers typing keywords into water-guzzling shitmachines and thinking they are a gift to the arts. YOUR THING IS ALREADY BETTER THAN ANYTHING THEY WILL MAKE BECAUSE YOU ARE MAKING IT!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
