I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

@chickfila.bsky.social Kadija - why did you accept part to let them whitewash your skin in photos and be one more person of color these racists refuse to show faces in ads? Why do you support these racists? #RacismInAdvertising #DisneyAcceptsRacistAds #Racism #RacistTVAds #ChickfilaIsRacist

Am I the only one who feels deeply, intensely, personally offended by the #culturalappropriation by #FelonMusk of the anti-establishment/anti-authoritarian word #grok for his pisspoor AI?

I don't understand how any "techno-optimist" can still claim the unregulated free market system is a success. I had high hopes for such a manifesto, but should've known better. This is a joke, stopped reading.

I'm catching up on the basics of the IndieWeb after close to 15 years of growing increases in pushback at consent-nonconsent surveillance. Feeling nostalgic for the days when IE was the #1 browser for downloading other browsers. Life was far more simple then.

As Twitter dies trolls are looking at other media outlets to engage. Hide their replies. Then go to their profile and block them. Never engage. They will soon tire of their trolling if they get no response. Peace and Harmony prevails when we stick together.

What I say is, "that feeling of guilt means that you have empathy, but viewing those things won't make you care any more than you already do. It will only make you suffer. Instead, find some way to help that will relieve your guilt. Donate, volunteer, etc. If you're traumatized, you can't help."

basically doesn't matter where you're coming from on this question. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU SUPPORTED AND FUNDED HAMAS FOR YEARS is pretty god damn important
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Another concept implodes: Israel can’t be managed by a criminal defendant

“MSNBC has quietly taken three of its Muslim broadcasters out of the anchor’s chair since Hamas’s attack on Israel last Saturday amid America’s wave of sympathy for Israeli terror victims.”

Incredibly fucked up.
