South Korea rn is what it looks like when people see democracy as a fragile thing that needs to be defended by all means necessary, and not as their inevitable birthright as citizens of an exceptional nation

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package.

Why misogyny is at the heart of South Korea's presidential elections
Disgruntled young men who resent feminism are the focus of candidates vying to be president.

One year ago, Kash Patel, while sniffling repeatedly as he does in every interview (he just can’t shake that cold) promised to prosecute Hunter for new crimes. Then Trump names him FBI Director. He told you ahead of time he’s going after Hunter. So tired of the pearl clutchers.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.

"Moana 2 is just a cash grab!"
Yes that's how businesses works, you make something you know people would pay money for.
Also, you know nothing of cashgrabs, I was there for Aladdin 2 The Return Of Jaffar.

Honestly extraordinarily delighted at the idea of having a space where my life might not be subject to the whims of 5 billionaires
I know they’re going to do everything in their power to stop it (the bots & trolls they’re sending over have been EXHAUSTING) but idc, it’s a fight I’m here for

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Hey love bugs, yesterday I began subdividing block lists into account types to make it more transparent and easier to vet. The main block list still includes all the maga ATM, but as soon as I come across more there will be a maga-only list. The main list will NOT be deleted.

Joe Biden's heartfelt pardon of Hunter is a refreshing reminder that true leadership is rooted in morality, especially when juxtaposed with Trump's controversial practice of selling pardons to the highest bidder.

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper:
"It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

Trump is still running all his businesses while selling random junk. He has a publicly traded company, and he can easily be bribed. He once again will be in violation of the Constitution day 1. Corporate media should do their damn jobs and focus on it, instead of sanewashing him and his nominees.
