for folks who are active on x, threads, etc and feel bad about it bc of its stewards but have a hard time letting go: sometimes your behaviors overpower your values online because tech companies hire psychologists & sociologists to come up with ways to put you in that position

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

Watching ICE go door to door in Minneapolis, local and state authorities permitting it...it's impossible not to think of Kristallnacht. The Great Removal of the 5 SE Tribes. 1942, when Japanese-Americans were forced into camps.

What we do in response to this moment of great shame matters.

Malignant narcissism, folks. This is what it looks like.
This is the very definition of grandiosity. With a side of nuke codes.

JD Vance wants to give full immunity to out of control enraged white men who think murder is a valid response to someone making them a little bit upset. THAT is the reality of what is happening.

There’s a terrible human cost to using these platforms, and it’s paid most dearly by the invisible tech workers who quite literally keep them running.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

It's not a real donkey, it's an AI-generated video. Can we just stop with this already? It's ridiculous and a dishonest way to get likes.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Do check ants aren't crawling up and down your plants. If there are any, they'll be protecting their herds of aphids (aphids excrete a sugary solution ants like to drink) and fighting off the ladybirds.

I took a ladybug/bird by hand over to a bunch of aphids once only to see an ant fight it off 😞

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

I’m sorry, but this woman is absolutely poisonous and cruel and I cannot *stand* her or her attacks on trans people. You should feel about her IP like you do about Tesla. This is appalling.

So, I don’t care about this particular man, but I do want to point out that immigration officials pulled this woman aside after a trip to Puerto Rico, which is…not a foreign destination, which means they’re pulling and detaining legal immigrants in the regular degular airport.

Be safe.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
