Trump does not need you to believe that Renee Nicole Good rammed an ICE agent with her car and sent him to the hospital
What they want you to believe—what they NEED you to believe—is that if you don’t behave the way they want you to behave, they will fucking kill you

the grateful dead is one of the great symbols of american freedom. not the semblance of freedom enshrined in the bill of rights that can be stripped away by the state, but true freedom that can be taken by no one—to explore and express one's mind, body, and soul uninhibited, to fly your freak flag.

As I reported my book, I noted an uptick in openly misogynistic behavior and language among law enforcement and their "back the blue" and 2A supporters.
Part of white supremacy and the "warrior mindset" is misogynistic paternalism -- women need protection except when they are bitches.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

It's at times like this when I wonder if we need to create a Canada-wide organization for the amateur sport of modding drones. Perhaps we should get advice from Ukraine on how to set up such a thing. 🤔

This is harm. Time for serious people to get serious about it.

I’m back after a 3 day suspension for sharing a link to publicly available police reports exposing Blood Tribe nazis. They also removed the post. Bluesky evidently prioritizes the protection of literal, active nazis over community safety. Unfortunately for BT, they’re already in the sunlight now :)

just gonna jump in to say that it is not antisemitic to call out the fact that politicians and media hacks are jumping all over the bondi beach attack to unfairly blame those who oppose israel's atrocities in gaza for antisemitic violence
Nice to see that Globe and Mail columnist Robyn Urback is allowed to once again just totally twist my words and falsely smear me as antisemitic with zero professional consequences.
This is the second time she’s done this to me personally, and she’s done this to others too.
Such an awful person.

In a lot of ways our entire consumerist society is built on hating children and resenting their existence, and if we ever want to see a better world, we have to get our faces out of the trough and start working on it. Be kind to kids! It's our collective responsibility!

There's something about the way men use LLMs that feel like those men at the strip club who believe that the dancers like them for their personality and wit.
They just want a toy that makes them feel good.

![Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.
“I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qlnirjwff4ibiw3wchmleszo/bafkreiac2szurc5dnw6klquhpjmo7iafg4n6fwmrqyred7jrrph6h6mptq@jpeg)

You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

People challenging gender norms are not intentionally dressing "ugly," as the original poster suggests, nor are they trying to gain "victim points." They are dressing in a way they find beautiful, but according to a different language. Appreciating that aesthetic requires cultural literacy.
