in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Bluesky's view of the world has very clear roots in resenting that the internet is no longer being the special nerd things for special nerds, with everything else being retroactively justified. It makes the discourse on polarization both deeply elitist and entirely unhelpful.
after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

Is it just me or are these sora vids identical to what you could generate, like, a year ago? I remember us having the same freakout over bodycam footage and such. Seems more like a marketing push than anything.

Imagining being the military governor of Alabama and the first day on the job you catch Osama bin Laden and his friends. You're about to execute them but then Godzilla attacks and they get away. Also, you almost executed bin Laden's innocent pizza guy by accident and the pizza guy is actually Jesus.
Every day I empathize more strongly with the utter exhaustion in Tullius’s voice whenever he’s talking about… well, anything.

The HP Fandom gives more metaphysical significance to thier work of choice than *Disney Adults*. Y'all don't realize how actually crazy they are.
The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.
just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

TikTok usage correlated with voting d even when all other factors were accounted for
Lindsay, the entire reason far-right control of TikTok is bad is because I WAS RIGHT ABOUT IT CONTROLLING YOUR BRAIN. If you’ll recall, that used to be a controversial position! I got ratioed like crazy in like 2022 for saying the youths were getting their politics from the meme dance app
Congrats to Biden, the rest of the Democrats who supported the TikTok ban last year, and this guy specifically—they got what they wanted.

Draconian censorship was necessary because the kids were pro-Palestine and struggling in Biden’s economy. And now—an even more concentrated media environment.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

One thing I have noticed is that lots of young people do MAGA talking points mostly to aggrivate and exasperate in the same way them saying the n-word or using swastikas used to do (before the taboo on those became stronger) rather than them actually giving a shit about "blood and soil" for real.
o m g, 14-year-olds on in game chat are saying incredibly offensive things?? never heard that before! social change is upon us!!!

Conservatism, and all that makes its foundations, is dying. The Green Revolution has rendered the countryside, as we knew it, obsolete, and the sciences of sociology and psychology continue to disprove old superstitions of morality. The current moment is the desperate thrashing of a cornered animal.
What's your take on the moment we're living through in 50 words or less. [you able to quote post]

Authoritarianism likes to play pretend about how superficially evil it is while being a really complex system of patronage in the background. This is so that a majority of people have a material reason to *not* overthrow the regime. The GOP doesn't know what it's doing isn't the "real" part.

Saying something like this, going against the prevailing notions from respected data scientists on this website, and then *paywalling* the part that "proves" this is genuinely gross. You're just giving people anxiety in order to give you money.
Have Democrats increased their lead over Republicans among young Americans?

According to the polling average, the answer is no

Part of me wonders if the trans community is too focused on preforming "transness" rather than doing what they actually want artistically.
Digital Circus is helmed by a trans woman, isn't really about being trans, and is *far* more successful/influential than Abigail Thorn or Asmongold.
On platforms like YouTube or Twitch you can see the difference even more starkly.

To take an example - Abigail Thorn, probably the biggest trans Youtuber, has 1.6m subscribers.

Mr Beast has 418m. Asmongold has 3.4m and is not even in the top 10 streamers.

Old people are so funny, cause they forget discord exists (or don't know it's used as a place for Fandom duscussion) and then say things like this.
There isn’t a text based internet social media site that’s actually growing, it’s a dead medium that’s only used by elder millennials, media and bad faith actors
I really don't like the wagon-ciricling response that happens when people point out that Bluesky feels smaller and smaller every day. I can feel it, and I know you can feel it too. You should want this place to grow because it's better than the other options.

this entire thread feels like a bit out of Disco Elysium
Went to GameStop to buy a Switch 2. Easily the worst retail experience of my life.

Clerk kept adding $50 warranties to everything, activated a $25 annual membership without asking, wouldn’t let me see the console until I rejected multiple upsells.

You can tell this company is dying. My god.

Suburbia has always been nobility larp. "A man's home is his castle" and whatnot.
There's a billion articles on Americans being fascinated by British royals and not nearly enough about the political and social consequences of white suburbia's obsession with applying the trappings of imagined monarchy to itself.
