Remembering today that Chaplin self-funded The Great Dictator because the studios were too afraid of taking sides when there were so many Nazi sympathizers in the States that they didn’t want to alienate

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

When I see folks who claim to be Christian lose their minds over Bishop Budde's plea for the marginalized, I realized I missed the "Screw everyone who isn't you" part of the Bible. Also the folks who despise cancel cuture and champion free speech seem flummoxed.

Twitter, Meta, and Tiktok are all state media now. They will suppress and censor narratives, beliefs, and views opposed by the administration.

Just spent 10 minutes in a chat with Google support to get the new Gemini "AI" features disabled on our workspace account. For some reason they have a hidden config menu you need them to turn on if you want to disable it. No warning, they just defaulted this nonsense to on on the 15th.

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

taking revenge against evil in the name of preventing future harm is literally the plot of star wars. (among many other heroic stories)
"destroying the death star makes you just as bad as the empire" is just... look, even the jedi weren't that dumb.

ngl in light of all the troll/discourse bots showing up on bsky, remember that you do not owe anyone a response. You do not owe anyone online your time or attention, and replying to people is not an obligation. If you don't feel joy talking to someone here, just mute/block them and move on.

This feels like a nice refresh, having a smaller list of people I’m following rather than the bloat my twitter became… and not feeling guilty about unfollowing people that, while I may enjoy their content, they’ve hit 3 strikes with posts that don’t gel for me so buh-bye 🥲
