Terrific

To be clear, the U.S. is leveling punishing tariffs on its allies while discussing easing sanctions on Russia.

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

here’s the thing: why wouldn’t you treat every dumbass idea as potentially worthwhile when a month later you can just go “oopsies” and no one holds you accountable for giving credence to stupid shit?

Said it before, will say it again: “woke” has lost all meaning. It’s a catch-all for whatever conservatives don’t like, and when we debate if it’s harmful politically, we’re letting them define the terms of the debate, instead of doing what’s right and standing up for the minorities they attack.

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms

AI can only go so far. We want human connection.
