This is why the people on Bluesky are here, because the self moderation tools completely diffuse attempts to weaponize your followers into harassment.

Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas

I can't let a trans girl compete against my daughter in sports because a scholarship is the only way we can afford college. Hey, perhaps we have identified the real problem. College is not affordable. Not that your daughter is competing on the volleyball team with somebody who is more skilled.

can't believe I'm getting nostalgic for being woken up at 3am by a boy on coke who needed to share his thoughts on german impressionist cinema, what a world

and look - I’ll take a boy who has mildly annoying takes on modernist novels, noise bands, and Leonard Cohen over a boy who cares for no one and nothing but meme stocks and anabolic steroids ANY day

can’t believe our current all-ages literacy crisis is making me a little nostalgic for the pretentious “we publish experimental poetry chapbooks and have strong opinions on Melville and the 1800s fur trade” Literature Boys of my college years in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

It would be irresponsible of us not to further investigate if each Flock camera does in fact contain a focusing crystal that is actually a diamond

Indeed, I heard at a private event just the other day that every 15th Flock camera contains a magical golden egg

I don't think the average American and certainly not the average MAGA even gets the extent to which "humiliate your foe" is a core ethos of the Iranian approach to conflict

Fuck Platner. Fuck rapists and misogynists writ large. But also fuck tarring combat vets with your nihilistic stick. Who ended slavery and rebellion? Who ended fascism and Hitler? The lack of civic virtue and awareness, the lack of public service - that's the rot here, not 6% of the population.

I've always been against fetishizing veterans over public service writ large, but this is such a broad, ignorant statement. Nearly 16M vets, millions of combat vets but sure they're why Trumpism happened vs 94% of the population turning a blind eye to the forever wars bc they didn't have to care..

Polyphemus appearing in the form of a very slow garbage train

There's a scene in Disco Elysium where they find a bunch of ratty ass rifles in a hidden stockpile from forever ago that are no longer in a usable state that speaks to the kind of shit that gets left behind by wars like this. Stockpiles like that will be used to justify continued occupation.

The problem with saying, "You can be critical of pro-Israel & AIPAC-funded politicians & it's not antisemitic," is that it's actually true BUT if a rival can call a politician AIPAC-funded without any evidence & you'll just believe them because that politician is Jewish, that IS antisemitic.

This is legit insane. It requires girls from K-12 to go through genetic testing, testosterone screening, or a physical exam to participate in sports. For feminists worked up about trans athletes, this is the through line. This is where we were going to end up. It’s about control and dominance.

Good framing.

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

What’s great here is Mamdani definitely knows what furries are
