'Difficult' and 'impossible' are cousins often mistaken for one another, with very little in common.

One of the more idiosyncratic things about Bluesky, which I’m sure dampens its growth potential but whatever, is how many accounts otherwise strictly focused on American politics will, once a week or so, pop off with a little porn. As a treat.
Kinda weird! Kinda fascinating!

See this wouldn’t be a problem on Bluesky. No fascists here. And only the porn you asked to see.
considerably more concerned with a member of congress scrolling twitter’s “for you” tab than i am about them looking at porn

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

FDR tried to warn everyone of exactly this. The fact that some liberals still just wanna go back to brunch and haven’t learned these lessons — it’s just amazing. My hope is the “No Kings” rally is a sign that more liberals have finally figured it out.

I'm kind of concerned over this level of hysteria.
I don't think scrolling through my Gunpla list is doing irrevocable brain damage. But maybe I'm wrong.

The goal of these platforms is to make you hate everyone around you & make you hate yourself. Every second you spend on social media is a second you are willingly doing grave damage to your brain, in service of producing monetizable content enriching the algorithm's owners.

Oh cool, another reason not to go to Wicked Weed
NEW: Alex Weatherhead had been working at Asheville's Wicked Weed for two years to the day when he was pulled off the brewhouse floor and canned by an HR person over Zoom for posts on his personal Facebook page that he was told "celebrat[ed] violence" in violation of A-B's social-media policy.

i guess not I'm surprised that Ken Jennings is really good here, i just wouldn't have predicted the host of Jeopardy being a voice of moral courage on this specific issue.
This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter

There are three Truth and Reconciliation commissions the United States needs to undertake before this nation ever has a chance to heal:
1) the original genocide of Native Americans
2) the sabotage of Reconstruction
3) the unwillingness to hold the Republican Party responsible for January 6th

And whoever it is will have to hold these fascists accountable. We can’t give them a pass like was done to the confederacy after the civil war
