I went to the movies twice this year to watch films I could have seen at home.

I also just want to say that America has a long history of lying about how violent and dangerous Black men are to fit agendas. Jay, Aaron, Paul, et al are pretty directly engaged in white supremacy bullshit.

They just called a pacifist Black man a dangerous predator because they don't like him

I do wish we had more policymakers over here, but also accept that most policy makers still say "Information Super Highway" and have Dial-Up.

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

No they have completely shit the bed, folk that have been here since the invite days are leaving because of their bigoted bullshit. They hatehateHATE the core community that emerged here and I'm genuinely starting to believe they'd rather the entire thing fail than queers & minorities run the place

Seriously. Is this place a scam, a shitshow, or a complete waste of time? Happy to read any feedback that doesn’t suggest the Bluesky management team haven’t shit the bed on this entire thing.

Panel 2: Journalist continues to skip. Two more people shout “trans people suck” and “immigrants suck!”

The second two panels are titled “Journalist Visits Bluesky”

Panel 3: Journalist skips into bluesky and someone immediately shouts “YOU suck”

Panel 4: Journalist is crouched on the floor, absolutely devastated. In the foreground is a piece of paper that reads “Today, I went to hell”

There's a not-low amount of articles trying to encourage women to use AI tools ("you're being left behind, girlboss!")

I'm not surprised more men appear to use it after years of being radicalized online.

Kamala Harris is being disingenuous with her comments. Much of the critique of her stance on Gaza was her unwillingness to divert from the admin she was part of. Even if she didn’t have decision making power, she made clear her stance was supporting her admin’s actions and she wouldn’t change/adapt.
