The ""cool"" part is that Jay's also fully hiding critical replies to that post as well, details in this thread:
Well, it didn't get a Rude tag, but it did get hidden, lol.

I don't think this is a controversial statement, but here we are.
What the ACTUAL hell is wrong with you?

As the CEO, as the leader of this company, what drives you to be so dismissive of someone with legitimate concerns about a known bad actor on your platform that you would respond with this snotty response?

If I ran my business this way, I'd be RUINED.

you reskeet a post to highlight an issue, yet you joke about a serious request which is VERY MUCH RELATED to your comment about social media "not being this way"

are you fucking kidding?

clearly you don't care about users experiencing harassment this way because they're *checks notes* trans

Dear CEO, there's an active subset of Bluesky that routinely harasses trans and queer folk, even doxxing them. This person in particular is a huge problem and even was cited in federal documents harming trans folks. What are you doing to address this?

The CDC tried to remove remote work as an accommodation for disabled people.

Working from home is a game changer when you’re chronically ill. It allows people to remain in the workforce who otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

Big thanks to the unions who fought this, the CDC caved from the pressure

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

There's a US military themed bot campaign targeted at Blacksky's PDS. If you see these accounts please report them to @blackskyweb.xyz
I am proactively monitoring signups for suspicious accounts but some have slipped through.

Thank you to the folks who've already reported them

We'll suspend ASAP

i really needed some good news and this is great. i tried to find the Kenyan Transgender Education and Advocacy group's website, but it seems to be down ( transgenderkenya.org ) but the other advocacy group, Jinsiangu, has one thats currently up jinsiangu.org
it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like

"A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act."

Fed Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned an uptick of inflation, along with a hiring slowdown, poses a "challenging situation" for bankers as they try to steer the economy through a "turbulent period."

Americans never did want those jobs immigrants have been forced out of.

We told you so.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Oh you mean the administration that stopped the policy that cut child poverty in half, made poverty worse actually? Colour me shocked.
A new Census Bureau report establishes that poverty increased over the course of the Biden administration.

The data is yet another rebuke to the politicians and commentators who insisted economic conditions under Joe Biden were great.

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough.

Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.
Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.
"how could we have known?!" they cry, eyes closed and ears covered

the schadenfreude is gonna be epic when it's their time to find out
