Just unsubscribed from @rollingstone.com (I had only been subscribing to read @milesklee.bsky.social anyway)
@jongraywb.blacksky.app @scottdagostino.ca a big reason she has money to give away is because her wealth is built on exploitation. Dollywood pays minimum wage, it fights unionization, and it lobbies against raising the min wage. βGiving backβ is privately controlling doling out stolen wages
"Many of us like to ask ourselves: what would I do if I had been alive during slavery, or the Jim Crow South, what would I do if my country was committing genocide? The answer is you're doing it now"
February 25th marked two years since Aaron Bushnell took his life trying to stop the genocide in Palestine. I didnβt mark the date online because I was in a studio recording a passage of The Overseer Class about him. Hereβs a short excerpt (warning: graphic language)
I also donβt think the real NYT would allow this handle to exist as parody unless the handle asserted clearly it was parodyβ¦ what say you @nytpitchbot.bsky.social ?
But if itβs a bit they are REALLY committed to the bit!!
Fair point. bsky.app/profile/most...
When did the NYT start trolling criticism from an official paper account with such a screechy tone ("This is a disengenious attack") ???? The NYT can't muster much outrage in most of its tone except...outrage about...its image?
Mullin next to the words "the only true native american in the senate"
Markwayne Mullin will undoubtedly be dubbed "the first Native American to lead the Department of Homeland Security." As a friend wrote to me, "Wow, there's the Overseer Class and then there's putting a Cherokee citizen in charge of forced removal"
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...
About half of the 70,000 who died at the camp died from infectious disease
Margot and Anne Frank died in Bergen-Belsen as a typhus epidemic killed 17,000 people
no excuse not to link on Bluesky, which doesnβt rank down links!

A brown trans woman with slightly longer black curly hair, wearing a black sweater, with her arms crossed. She is standing in front of a brick wall. Below it reads, Dr. Alex Hanna.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
EXCLUSIVE: The pro-Palestine group @imeupolicy.bsky.social is spending $2 million on ads against Republicans in toss-up districts over ties to Israel & for Dems who support blocking weapons to Israel, taking advantage of GOP vulnerability amid Trump's war on Iran theintercept.com/2026/03/04/i...
I have nothing helpful to say, I just feel incredibly sad for 90 million Iranians now living in fear
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.

There are many reasons to object to censoring pornography, including that if you ban porn, EVERY bit of information can be called porn, and EVERY bit of information will have to prove it is NOT porn or "adult"--effectively createing the surveillance of creating or consuming any and all information

@pedrosanchezcas.bsky.social making the right call again π
NEWβ Sources familiar with US policies on civilian casualties are deeply worried about the possible toll of Trump's war on Iran
-Key Pentagon teams focused on civilians have been slashed+reassigned (even at CENTCOM)
-Israel role raising fears of Gaza-style impunity
