Not a god. Rockin' in the Free World. We may not agree on everything, but I hope we agree on enough. Do you by any chance need an umbrella?

You're sick Hailey, what a wicked idea. Absolutely killer, slay those trolls.

You want a horror movie that's genuinely scary, has zero gore and minimal dialogue. You're going to struggle to find something if you don't relax one of the criteria. There's no need to call the people trying to help dolts.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Many such cases.

This is the post that got AJ Link banned. I can't speak to how he meant it but it's clear how it could be interpreted as a threat.

Image of Charlie Kirk moments before he was shot, the bullet appears to be in the frame.

It's a quote reply to a post from Bluesky CEO Jay's thread discussing harassment.

1. More frequently than I'd like, but it's mostly avoidable.

2. Mostly in the comments of individuals who've been targeted for harassment, usually brigaded by a small number of "hub" accounts.

Back on the cartoons.

Robert Jenrick turning big dial labelled racism looking back at the audience with a silly grin.

Enki 🍀 @enki.bsky.social · 3d

Screenshot of a wint (dril) tweet that says “turning a big dial taht says “Racism” on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right”

Robert Jenrick has lost his fucking mind.

Here's a thing I accidentally didn't post putting the ban in an entirely different context. I hope you don't mind, I spent the intervening hours fanning the flames of outrage, lol.

Oh, and it's entirely coincidental people have just put the picture together themselves btw.

Here’s another screenshot of other email I missed before. Apologies. I was focused on getting the one above posted.

Further clarification on Link’s perma ban.

He got another email after the first.

Links words: First one at 10:15 last night(his time)

Second email(this one here) at 7:07 today.

A screenshot of an email from the Bluesky Moderation Team sent at 07:07 with the subject line “Bluesky Account Behavior” addressed “To: Hide My Email”. The email reads:

Quote posting the CEO of Bluesky discussing harassment with a picture of a guy seconds before he was shot...

Seems unwise.

Here is Chikli’s response to the Board of Deputies…

Enki 🍀 @enki.bsky.social · 5d

This post keeps showing up in my timeline. The replies and quotes range from disheartening to shocking.

It seems some people hold "anti-racist" as such a core part of their own identity it blinkers them to their own behaviour.

Nadine, if you're reading this, I'm sorry and I hope it gets better.

I feel slightly numb and mostly exhausted at the amount of antisemitism posting about antisemitism has triggered on my BlueSky posts

Being Jewish on social media means having to expect it, and I’d almost got desensitised it

Almost

To all the antisemites, I say: f*ck you

Enki 🍀 @enki.bsky.social · 7d

Un-fucking-believable.

Tweet from Amichai Chikli: "In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom.

On behalf of the State of Israel, I am proud to host British patriot
@TRobinsonNewEra
who will visit Israel in mid-October.

Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.

At a time when Jews across Europe face rising antisemitism, it is vital to strengthen bonds with allies who refuse to be silent.

He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront hate.

Israel will always stand with the Jewish community and our allies worldwide. Together with friends like Tommy Robinson, we will build stronger bridges of solidarity, fight terror, and defend Western civilization and our shared values."

Heckling at a vigil, some people really need to take a long hard look at themselves.

There was a time when this place was young where every single day a pile on would ensue for the most trivial BS imaginable. People hounded of the site over literally nothing.

I feel that was the time to clamp down on this kind of behaviour, now it's metastasised into culture.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you.

Turn the dial in whatever direction the people shouting loudest are saying. It solves all problems and absolutely never, ever creates more.
