Main Stream Media opinions:

Guy kills a healthcare CEO: "It's so tragic, a deep wound to our community, this is utterly indefensible and unacceptable."

Guy lynches Jordan Neely: "You need to understand, subways are dangerous and this anonymous misguided hero was just protecting people"

I feel very strongly that having a good social media outlet to shitpost in is imperative if we are ever going to reach our Star Trek future. And that means having a space set aside where people can come in good faith without the expectation that they're going to be harassed simply for existing.

Either you believe everyone is a person and deserves rights to autonomy or you believe no one does

There are no exceptions
The richest people on earth believe they can create so much hatred and disgust for trans folks that it can be used to roll back women's rights, queer rights, privacy rights, rights to public education, rights to free assembly.

It's all the same fight. I wish more of y'all saw that.

Alright, everybody raise your hand if you teared up at the pocket camp "goodbye" cutscene

...no, just me? Cool 🥲

The most "viral" thing I ever tweeted was a banal response to a very popular post and even the 30 or so likes it got gave me anxiety and I almost deleted it because of that so no thank you lol
Everyone should post their most viral tweet here, just for posterity's sake

Call me an old gremlin, but I just *cannot* bring myself to care about MOBAs. I've tried. I *want* to like them; I have nothing against it as a genre. In fact I think it's kinda neat, conceptually. But every time I try to play one I bounce off it like a golf ball on a brick wall almost instantly.

I'm so glad pkm tgc pocket exists, and that it's accessible for free. I get all the excitement of occasionally getting something neat, but more importantly I get the experience of constantly getting absolute garbage pulls without the baggage of "man, I wasted like six real life dollars on this"

If there's one feature I wish bsky had over its predecessor, it's saving drafts. I really like having a place where I can store the thoughts I almost deemed worth publicizing.

What I'm realizing more and more is that, actually, I really don't care very much about interacting with people on the internet anymore, regardless of the platform. Which is a bummer for me because it used to be the only social interaction I really ever got.

“but I’m not one of the Others, I’m not a target, my life will continue as normal” is simply not true for many, many people who think it is

all the day to day safety we took for granted, held up by a regulatory state we only interacted with when it annoyed us, is now at risk
"We have a mandate to dismantle the regulatory state - and both the power and the will to do so,"

Is explicitly what they ran on and enough of the US has just always had clean water and safe food and some manor of workplace protection that they categorically do not understand what a threat that is.
I really think most people don't appreciate the scale of what's coming.

“I thought the first trump presidency would spark more political punk. Where’s all the political punk music?”

It’s nauseating seeing this take cause political punk has always been prevalent. It’s mainly the queer bands of color making it and they get ignored. SO I made a playlist!!!

Also big fkin lmfao to the "guide to starting on bsky" that's like "just copy and paste your most popular tweets so people know who you are" like I've ever had a tweet that got more than like 3 likes

I am not important lmao

I guess I live here now. It's not really all that different because it's not like I used the other place for anything more than screaming into the void and following people I like. The difference mainly is there's (currently) no dipshits and robots getting paid to be divisive assholes
