Bluesky civil war shows free speech is harder than it looks
Last week, a joke familiar from X circulated on rival platform Bluesky: “(bluesky user bursts into Waffle House) OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES??” It was obviously a jab at the moral intensity that now seems...

Well this I certainly agree with you on. The energy required for this along with the overall ethical considerations do give me pause in pretty much all cases (I don’t make a habit of posting AI generated content)

Well- I didn’t create it but saw it and feel it’s worth sharing; and to that end I feel the message is more important than the medium. I’m not a massive fan of AI however there are some that are poignant…

1986 blue box. The 2010 logo was without a doubt the WORST of all iterations…

Per @maddow.msnbc.com and her interview with the creator of the IceBlock app- so glad to hear that they are going to fight Apple on the removal of the app from the App Store. This is protected speech and Apple and Tim Cook are cowards.

Absolutely. Just utterly despicable- the government is acting against its citizens.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The hacks at the NYTimes never get anything right. I’m stunned they still publish- but then again seems like their most reliable work is in online word games…

Apple is without a doubt one of the most CRAVEN corporate capitulators out there. Tim Cook should be utterly ashamed of himself. The people united shall never be defeated.

Such absolute stains on a once revered publication. Jamal Khashoggi is never far from my mind.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.
