Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 11h

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

My single Red Hood issue was the 15th best-selling comic of September, like out of all serialized comics in America. Incredibly funny.

Despite getting whatever anti-trans narrative they wanted out of the Charlie Kirk shooting, the American right is now blaming the Jews instead, because content must be created. It is almost like the "first they came for" thing is not hypothetical!

It's the golden rule of grievance politics: you will never be happy. You are a permanent captive to the infinity goalpost.

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.

Posobiec saying antifa was founded during the Weimar Republic, so that founder's girlfriend might not have been too hard to catch at her age.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 7h

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I'm looking at your content and I don't follow you. You can very straightforwardly look at JD Vance's content, for whatever reason you want to do that, without following him. But you do follow him, so clearly that's not the extent of it.

this reminds me very much of how musk would complain about twitter features needing to be fixed or removed whenever they posed a problem for him and/or the chuds he increasingly molded the site to serve

screenshot of a post from Rose, a member of the Bluesky team who’s been called out recently for following the Heritage Foundation

post text: “The ‘follow’ button confounds ‘I’m looking at your content’ and ‘I endorse this content.’ We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.”

Fun little side note is that one of my labelers indicates her as a JD Vance follower because of course she is

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

"This sort of behavior is unhinged" you mean being concerned about the kinds of people and ideas your website's leaders imply they accept or even approve of?
