Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

👉 tip because i see this all the time:

nobody can force you to use apps. if a website on mobile is yelling at you to "eNhanCE YoUR ExPerieNCe" or completely breaks unless you switch to the app, install this addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo... and never look back (also available on chrome)👍

Fashy Cinemasins

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

the only reason apps of dynamic sites like shitter, insta etc exist is so they can show you ads and track you unhindered. your sanity and privacy are too valuable to use apps. also, eliminating these helps reduce phone screen time, which trust me in the long run is a very good thing

i hope people see this recent microsoft news as proof of BDS' effectiveness; especially in regard to raising publicity and encouraging action from microsoft employees and it inspires more people to join in keeping the pressure on these unrepentantly imperialist tech companies

BDS movement @bdsmovement.bsky.social · 23d

But this win means our collective pressure is working. Palestinians call for increased global BDS and shareholder pressure until Microsoft adheres to international law and ends all complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

But a still graver scandal of AI— like its hydra-head sibling, cryptocurrency-is the technology's colossal wastefulness. The untold billions firehosed by investors into its development; the water-guzzling data centers draining the parched exurbs of Phoenix and Dallas; the yeti-size carbon footprint of the sector as a whole—and for what? A cankerous glut of racist memes and cardboard essays.
Not only is the ratio of Al's resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, Al-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

Jesus Christ.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

crazy how deepfake porn that uses faces of real people and ruins lives has never been a subject in the "protecting internet users" argument and instead all the recent censorship ended up being targeted at artists and sex workers just trying to make a living

Watching WWF is an insane thing to do because the product is bad, the people in charge of it have Hitler particles coming out of every orifice, and it's not even convenient because there's 10+ hours of it every single week. Literally why bother?

All sales also (and sharing photos of your snughouls when they arrive!!) make my day infinitely better in these bleak times we're going through 🥲 www.tinyteeth.shop

Basically, I'm interested in featuring resources that give story context and help people understand the wrestling narratives being told in the performances (for TJPW as well as other companies), especially where there's a language barrier. If your site fits, send me an email!

The site I currently have linked, Lorecave, features a bunch of high-quality wrestling translations, especially for DDT and NJPW era Golden Lovers stuff, but there are translations for other promotions as well, such as this Pompaler interview
www.lorecave.com/translations...

Pom Interview Weekly Pro Issue 2/19 2025 No 2341 (published 2/5 2025)

I felt bad that I had judged them based on their appearance.
