"This war will be fun, and easy" - every idiot who starts a war
Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.
NewsNation, the supposedly centrist, non-partisan, down-the-middle network that only wants to report the news, is out here cheering on Karoline Leavitt for berating Kaitlan Collins and using that to promote themselves.
NYT using an official account to directly reply to people who criticize them is so embarrassingly pathetic.
emanuel is a perfect example of the media trying to create its own reality. he has no organic constituency and his mayoralty ended in scandal and failure. but pundits love him so now we get one million articles insisting against all real evidence that he's actually a huge player
Kristi Noem got fired live at a conference of cops kissing her ass. Itβs not justice but it is something
(And itβs still #FuckICE and Abolish it no matter whoβs in charge)

Equating Bushβs invasion of Iraq with Bidenβs withdrawal from Afghanistan is utterly insane.
And yes, it is a real product.

Imagine having the last 150 years of Middle East history at your fingertips, and still believing weβre just one bombardment away from entirely remaking the Middle East.
I say this with upmost respect to @ichotiner.bsky.social, the best political interviewer in the USA:
I do not understand why people don't hide in the Canadian wilderness whenever he requests an interview.
My guess is that either the subjects don't know him or think "I'll be the one to beat him!"
βAt the end of the day, she didnβt sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,β said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. βIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.β Cunninghamβs comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was βno longer worthy of being our representativeβ and he had to run against her. βIt drove me to a point of saying, βShe needs to go, and she needs to go now,ββ the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotteβs Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.
this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.
Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
A quick thread:
It shouldnβt be possible to block an account if youβre not supposed to be βallowedβ to block it
And also, people shouldnβt be subjected to being banned for blocking any account on a supposed βopenβ social network
It's important to remember that it was just a few weeks ago during a network all-hands meeting, Gayle King passionately defended Bari Weiss's leadership of CBS News.
Skip ahead to today, and King -- who makes $15 million a year -- has renewed her contract.

If you maintain your work and business WITHOUT generative "A.i.," you will be ahead of the game when these companies jack up their prices before crashing and burning.
Also, your work won't be trash.
Engaging in bird behavior makes you a bird. Gender neutral.
A pair of CNN headlines, "CIA working to ark Kurdish forces to spark uprising in Iran, sources say" "Analysis: Why arming Iranian Kurds might be a bad idea"
"Oh yeah? Name one instance where arming an insurgent force in the middle east and training them ever came back to bite us!"

This is an incredible chart from Al Jazeera.
It shows just how barbaric US foreign policy has been, bombing ten countries this century.
The United States is a nation addicted to war.

Sports fans know this isnt new. Many outlets started publishing "automated" game recaps using only the box score about 15 years ago. It sucked & it faded away. History will repeat. AI writing is bad, not good, which is why readers reject it.
Iβve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.
This story is nuts
