What’s up with this Pharisee apologetics? Are you Jewish? You can denounce religious nationalism regardless of your faith.

The viral ChatGPT Ghiblification feature is an insult to Hayao Miyazaki who was vehemently against gen AI. Users may have not known, but OpenAI did. Which makes this a personal attack on the legacy of the late artist

Coalitions around the U.S. have been planning this for months since Trump’s election victory. You’re just seeing it for the first time on Bluesky. This strike is a part of a larger comprehensive resistance strategy. The celebrities you’re seeing have read about it elsewhere. Google it

Thanx I wear it all the time at home! Don’t forget to log off and touch grass everyone! The horrors will persist tomorrow, but we must persist harder! We got this 💪

Alternative for Germany (AfD) party rises to power in Germany as the most far-right movement since WWII. Elon Musk claims only AfD can save Germany. Of course he does. #politics #elonmusk #coup #polsky

“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents.”

Elon’s poll asking whether he should rehire the terminated racist was met with 80% approval. Musk’s Twitter culture demonstrates it’s morally bankrupt, and blatantly upholding hazardous bigoted values. Americans with a moral conscience need to act https://buff.ly/42KII0R
A meme featuring a digitally edited image of Elon Musk dressed as a priest, holding up Doge (the Shiba Inu meme dog) like the Eucharist in a Catholic Mass. The overlaid text reads: “THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, AND IN HIM. IN THE UNITY OF THE FREEDOM OF HATE SPEECH.”

Imagine being in Plato’s cave and the shadows on the wall are just executive orders signed by POTUS #philosophy #humor #trump #politics
A meme using an edited version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave illustration. The text labels the prisoners in the cave as saying, “YO ARE THOSE EXECUTIVE ORDERS?”, while the figure outside the cave responds, “OH THEY WERE JUST UNCONSTITUTIONAL THREATS AGAINST DEMOCRACY.”

The decision to dismiss FBI agents who investigated the Capitol attack signals a troubling move to suppress accountability and could deter future inquiries into governmental misconduct. #politics #trump #democracy #justice
A meme featuring a well-known image from the January 6th U.S. Capitol riot, showing the “QAnon Shaman” in a fur hat with horns and face paint. The overlaid text reads: “HOW IS THE FBI TAKING THE FALL FOR THIS?”

Part of me wants to believe Trump’s executive orders will get pushback. Another is afraid the combination of Republicans having majority, and the dissolving of their original values like personal responsibility for personality faithfulness will override political conscience
A meme using the famous Laughing Politicians photo, which features Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and other officials laughing at a gathering. The overlaid text reads: “AND THEN HE SAID ALL PEOPLE DESERVE FREEDOM AND LIBERTY HOSTED BY THEIR GOVERNMENT BY VIRTUE OF THEIR HUMAN DIGNITY”

The appointment of Elon Musk, a private tech mogul, to lead a government efficiency initiative blurs the lines between public and private sectors, raising concerns about accountability and the concentration of power. Which erodes checks and balances. #politics #america #musk
A meme featuring edited images of Donald Trump and Elon Musk pointing at each other with amused expressions. The overlaid text reads: “WHAT IF WE KISSED UNDER THE BLURRED LINES OF POLITICAL AND CORPORATE POWER?”

Your consumer data is more valuable than oil. But unlike oil, you don’t get paid for it. Tech giants mine your life—your searches, conversations, habits—and sell it for billions. The least we deserve is a data dividend or the right to opt out entirely. #tech #technology #justice
A meme featuring a stylized, distressed-looking Kumamon (a Japanese mascot) engulfed in flames. The overlaid text reads: “CAN I GET ABOUT TREE FIDDY FOR MY CONSUMER DATA?”

Ai is often phrased as an unstoppable force. But technology isn’t magic—it’s built, deployed, and governed by people. The real question isn’t “What can AI do?” but “Who gets to decide how it’s used?” #tech #technology #siliconvalley #philosophy #humancentric #people #liberty
A meme using the Eric Andre Shooting Hannibal format. In the first panel, Eric Andre (labeled “AI LEADERS”) shoots Hannibal Buress (labeled “WORKERS RIGHTS”). In the second panel, Andre looks confused and asks, “WHY WOULD TECH DO THIS?”

Tech isn’t inherently good or bad—it’s shaped by who controls it. Under capitalism, AI and automation won’t free workers, they’ll be used to cut jobs and maximize profits. Under a different system? They could reduce labor and increase leisure for all. #tech #technology #power
A meme using a scene from Doctor Who featuring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara. The dialogue is edited to discuss AI’s impact: Clara asks, “Is AI liberating?”, and the Doctor responds, “Depends”. In the next panels, he elaborates: “In the context of capitalism? No.” and “In a progressive human-centric society? Yes.”

Tech culture talks a big game about ‘moving fast,’ but somehow, customer support tickets still take 3-5 business days. Maybe they should focus on more practical solutions on the field to smoothen our infrastructure #tech #technology #infrastructure #bigideas
An image of Yoda from Star Wars, with text in his distinctive speech pattern. The top text reads: “MANUFACTURE DEMAND FOR UNNEEDED PRODUCTS YOU MUST NOT”, and the bottom text reads: “SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT ALREADY EXIST YOU MUST”

AI won’t “take your job.” A billionaire will use AI to automate your job, pocket the profits, and leave you scrambling for gig work. The tech itself isn’t the villain—capitalism’s need for infinite growth at the expense of human well-being is. #tech #technology #workers #justice
