It's a shame how little social media seems to prioritize "having a nice time chatting with people and making silly jokes and sharing interesting things".

Why does this seem to be such an issue with the airlines?.. time and time again this issues comes around… each time the airline involved makes a statement about how they have learnt and will do staff training.. yet here we are again?
A Virgin employee at Tullamarine just confronted my cousin in a wheelchair, in front of a packed gate lounge, demonstrated walking 6 steps, three times raised her voice: “so you’re telling me, you can’t walk that far??!! ” Because Virgin failed to get the wheelchair for boarding despite booking.

tRump sold the white House, Musk got it real cheep.

Spotify Wrapped is back for 2024 – but why is a decade-old Vance Joy song Australia’s most popular local track?
Spotify Wrapped is back for 2024 – but why is a decade-old Vance Joy song Australia’s most popular local track?
Spotify has yet again revealed the nation’s listening habits and Vance Joy’s unkillable 2013 hit Riptide is the Australian song we listened to most this year. But why?
Australians logging into Spotify this morning may have been surprised – or perhaps not at all – to see that a decade-old folk pop song was the nation’s most streamed song by an Australian artist this year.
The streaming platform releases an annual roundup of its most played tracks every December called Spotify Wrapped, which reveals national trends as well as leaving some users amused, confused and ashamed about their individual listening habits.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Yep. This exactly.. when the Musk Rat talks about population decline, he means white population.
It is not a population collapse that Musk & the MAGA followers are afraid of but a collapse in percentage of the "white" population, especially in America
They perceive no longer being the majority will affect their standing & legitimacy to be superior

Do we have a Bluesky equivalent to "Tweet"?
If not, can we call them bloops? I just think it's fun to say.

The airing of grievances must be interesting.
Luckily, ALL of our relatives who are coming to our house for Thanksgiving, Hannukah and Christmas dinners are Democrats. But for those of you who have MAGA friends or family members visiting for the holidays, how will you navigate that divide? Ban talk of politics altogether, or something else?
