Sam Altman HAS to kiss the Trump ring. It's Altman's only hope against Elon Musk hiring Ross Ulbricht to put a hit out on him.

Many of Musk's enemies will have a series of unfortunate *accidents* in the next six months to a year.

This is obviously hateful, but for people indifferent to the hate, just a big waste of money. You have the Secretary of Transportation cheering the destruction of functional public infrastructure.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

This is what Bluesky TOS had before Jesse Singal joined then suspiciously disappeared with no explanation by the way

A charitable interpretation of this is Aaron and the rest of the Bluesky team think their users are stupid morons who don’t realise what is being done.

the answer, it turns out is "it's hard" and "it's expensive" so there is a giant harassment loophole in BlueSky

they *could* just investigate the worst offenders (like Singal) where there are numerous credible reports to protect the users.

People often ask why we don’t act on off-platform evidence when investigating reports. Here’s an example of how complex that can get. 1/9

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).
