We don't have to return to twitter. Y'all have to quit the radicalization machine so that it's not appealing for people to be there to get radicalized anymore

We had our flaws, sure. But I feel like we had a pretty decent thing going before we decided to start stabbing ourselves in the face.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

He's not a god king who is divinely owed a throne, he is a man who might run for president in a primary that is years away. Now is the exact time for us to be shouting from the rooftops that transphobes won't get our vote so we demand other candidates.
"How can you say you're never voting for Newsom? You're handing the election to the GOP!"

Because I don't vote for Republicans, ever. Newsom is a racist, transphobic, genocide supporting Republican. Ergo, I am not voting for him. Find me someone who isn't a Republican and I'll consider them.

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.

By that I mean BAD PR.

I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

I don't get why this one holiday takes over 90% of restaurant playlists and half of all radio stations (I do get why retail does it, capitalism, but not the rest). People would Grinch out over President's Day if every other song on the radio was about George Washington throughout February.

About an hour and a half in-game and at least as much time getting an ancient iffy laptop working. That's probably more effort than the AI prompt itself took, so eh. There's limits as to what The Sims 2 can even do (no tilting furniture at a 45 degree angle, everything on a grid, etc).

Members of the military, this is why you do NOT follow illegal orders:

Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth are setting up Admiral Bradley to be solely responsible for killing the survivors of the U.S. boat attack in the Caribbean.

You might be next. They only care about protecting themselves.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I'm curious if my ancient busted up 13 year old Alienware, my only PC that can run The Sims 2 right now, can build something vaguely resembling this monstrosity.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

It's impressive how international the right wing nationalist grift is, as Xitter inadvertently (?) revealed. "Japanese Ultranationalists" from Europe. "Irish" anti-immigration activists from the US & UK. "MAGA" from Russia, Israel, Serbia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, anywhere *but* the US. Ironic.
