Hello. I had an account on that other site that got permanently banned like a week after the buyout and have just been offline since basically. I also decided to do a total rebrand of all my websites and ditch the name I used on that site because stalkers got real bad.

Next post has familiar links:
Let's catch up on some long Factorio streams. On Halloween I had this one: youtu.be/NrG4_wXQ_Ds

Honestly there's nothing terribly exciting in here. I finish up a lot of little scattered products, and end it with an idea of what it's like getting started on Gleba with absolutely nothing. I do think

Pro Tip: When you're incredibly frustrated by politics but it's the middle of the night so you can't organize a march or blow up lawmakers' phones, it is more healthy to get off social media and watch a movie or play a game or otherwise just do something to try and improve your mood rather than stew

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

i mean technically cuomo was "blue". democrats didn't score 50% against 49% republicans. the alleged left-of-center candidates scored 90% against republicans, and then mamdani scored 60% against the guy that would rather make his former party lose than admit defeat
Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(

I am constantly finding myself in a position where someone posts something in a Discord server and I ponder whether I should say something like
"Could you spoiler that Cute Animal Pictures post? That rabbit is being held by someone who stole years of work from me and gave my personal info to a nazi"

Gonna keep boosting talk on this because no for real half my feed got hidden by this.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Friendly reminder - "Rude" label is just bsky moderation's way of censoring posts and accounts they don't like. It's set to "hide" by default - you gotta dig into moderation settings to disable it.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

So I'm not going to link it because, again, you can talk about hateful imagery without putting it in front of people, but there's some hate screed going around from one of the usual transphobes with an image of the inclusive pride flag torn in half at the top and:

Please stop going to the site formally known as Twitter to find the most absolutely disgusting and inflammatory racist posts you can find and bringing them back here to share with people.

Please stop hitting the repost button when you see others doing this.

What the hell is wrong with all of you?

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

I genuinely do not understand how people are supposedly committing "fraud" with SNAP cards. The card has to be in your hand. If I buy a friend some groceries and they give me $5 later, there's no way to prove it was transactional without some very staged dialog.
