I'm in complete agreement that it's more about shame and consequences than punching down

is this actually about bringing back bullying or about bringing back community driven shame? cause I think this might be one of those context collapse things. bullying is bad. making people who lie & hurt people pariahs isn't "bullying" per se, but that's how those hurtful people view that.

wtf is wrong with these people

Tim (Exia) Ross @exiaross.bsky.social · 15h

my thoughts is that some people are talking about bringing back social consequences for being a bigot & others are talking about being mean to people for immutable parts of themselves

Game 1 of the WNBA Finals:
2019: 238K viewers
2025: 1.9M viewers

Even with all the changes to Nielsen methodology, that is the kind of increase you don't usually see in a short amount of time.

I think lead assistants who have deep knowledge of the schemes but aren't actively WORKING would provide better *real time* interviews. which I assume is the reason the interview takes place *during* live ball action.

bigotry is a luxury. banger quote.

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 1d

of course this has no real basis in modern history, which has demonstrated over and over again that bigotry is a luxury. bigotry is a waste of human potential that you can only get away with when you're *not* in a life or death struggle with an enemy "hellbent" on destroying you
