The Catcher in the Rye will enter the U.S. public domain in 2047.
I hope Salinger’s estate will allow someone to make a film adaptation before that happens because if not there is definitely going to be an unauthorized film adaptation in 2047.

“folks” is a perfectly good non-gendered term and you just decided to Hot Topic it to be edgy

Also, when you say people saying "Dems would win everywhere with a Mamdani-style platform," I think it's important to remember that that platform delivered the most charismatic candidate in recent history a whopping 50.4% of the vote against a street vigilante and actual vampire, in New York City

Almost certainly a targeted attack at two people who had basically nothing to do with the moment and would have preferred to be home with their families. Compounded tragedy.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

If I wrote a post referring to “UKians” all the people living there would ignore me too, and rightly so.

White privilege is just a fancy way of saying “you don’t have to deal with racism”, it doesn’t mean you have a Rolls Royce and a staff of servants.
It does mean you don’t have to worry about ICE tackling you in the hallway because a neighbor said you “look illegal.”

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?
