standard procedure for "following to keep an eye on" reactionary accounts is to use a plausibly deniable alt account so the only two possibilities whenever this happens are either positive support or dangerous negligence. either are damning.

not to pile on but if as a journo you were called a mean name by the right one time and it stuck with you so much that you put it in your bio, you lack the capacity to imagine what it has been like as a trans person subjected to a world influenced by journalism

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

once you know about twin peaks pretty much everything in harvester falls into place. it's so clearly an adaptation of the show's approach to commentary for the medium of video games.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.

idk whether this or the tumblr guy’s crashout are more embarrassing. at least the tumblr guy actually attempted to clumsily defend his position instead of putting his fingers in his ears

Between this, the epstein list, obsession with trans kids playing sports, & neverending conspiracy theories about what's going on in schoolsin general, you realize that the primary concern of the Republican party and its supporters is their deep desire to abuse children

The inhumanity is accelerating.

There are multiple reports of ICE agents laughing as kids scream and cry, and one in this raid saying literally “fuck them kids.”

Anjali Enjeti @anjalienjeti.bsky.social · 7d

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

ngl it kinda feels like a sanitized woke version of the more general harmful myth that trans people are volatile, have constant mood swings, and are easily set off

i wouldn't be upset that you flippantly used the word "dude" but now im sure wary of how hard you're dying on the hill of validating its use instead of just apologizing for the hopefully unintended slight and moving on
