'Science fiction, the good stuff, is often a warning. It shows us not just what could be, but what we must avoid. It asks: who profits, and who is harmed? Who benefits from this new technology, and whose lives are made harder, or worse, taken away?'

When Trump dies- he'll be remembered as the Epstein list President. The President who protected himself and his rich Epstein friends. And those who are protecting HIM at present, will be vilified for the rest of their lives. Just sayin'

If you were born pre-1980, explain a smartphone to yourself as a 15 year old. (Or if you were born in the sixties, explain a smartphone to 21 year old you!). Include explaining what social media is and what you do with your holiday snaps ...

No apologies needed.I agree with what you've said. Maybe M will cool off and apologise. If not, ill be blocking any new account he creates.

Ah, so rather than apologising for accusing @ungagged.bsky.social as being Hamas supporters, @87mckay has blocked us. Coward. Don't come back.

I expect an apology, Michael.

Neil Scott (He/Him) @nwscotty.bsky.social · 2d

No we didn't. Utter lies. It is COMPLETELY against our mo to do so. If anyone had done that in ungagged, they'd be kicked out. Doubling down- you are sounding no better than a tory, Michael. Put up the evidence, or fuck off.

Neil Scott (He/Him) @nwscotty.bsky.social · 2d

Its gone. Its dead. Mr Musk got rid of it. But you accused people. You implied it was on an article. You named an individual. Cough up evidence or fuck off.

Neil Scott (He/Him) @nwscotty.bsky.social · 2d

M8chael, you did. You literally said, 'the left" in a number of posts.

Thats convenient. Apparently the evidence has moved from video to comment to x to a person... you've accused us of something we didn't do. Be a man, apologise, or fuck off.

Neil Scott (He/Him) @nwscotty.bsky.social · 2d

I notice you've deleted the post where you accused an individual of antisemitism. I think the other part of the that should be an apology. But hey.

is all quite juvenile. And partly what I wrote about earlier in the week. Some people can't just say, "I got that wrong."

Neil Scott (He/Him) @nwscotty.bsky.social · 2d

This is nonsense. And really dreadful, Michael. The insinuation here us we deleted x because of some guilt. We deleted x because we could no longer share a space with an out and out antisemitic, racist owner-troll. This
