Da Zusammenhalt unter allen Demokraten immer wichtiger wird: Vernetzt euch💚
Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu unserer 33. #FollowerParty in Bluesky am Mittwoch den 08.05.2024.
Ich freue mich über rege Beteiligung von allen. 🙏
#TagDerBefreiung
Eure 💚WirFürDemokratie💚🌍
The 8 year old and I have begun a nightly tradition of telling each other weird facts before bed. He has accused me of offering subpar facts so I’m soliciting your weirdest and most delightful and / or horrifying facts. At me!
“I won’t vote for someone who supports genocide” is a valid response to genocide.
It does not require a follow up justification. It is, by itself, a valid political stance. It doesn’t require a next step. It doesn’t require having the answer for stopping genocide. Any answer starts with a “No.”
What's next for Bluesky? We're working on some of your most requested features:
DMs, video, improved Custom Feeds, better anti-harassment features, and a new login tool called "OAuth"
Check out the roadmap here: bsky.social/about/blog/0...
What’s coming next? Over the next few months, we’ll be introducing some long-requested features.

I am very serious: I think we should be meaner to people who spread antivoting propaganda at the best of times, and these are not the best of times. It remains *astounding* how many people think it's cool, or fun, or edgy, or whatever
confederate apologia but from the left is a relatively new one, this person is doing creative work to expand the discipline of brain self-microwaving
Look y'all, it's an "ending slavery wasn't worth the white lives lost during the Civil War that industrialism already made unnecessary" take blithely pushed out to the general public!
Junge Menschen sollen
- zum Dienst an der Waffe gezwungen werden
- bis zum 70. Lebensjahr arbeiten
- hohe Rentenbeiträge zahlen
Sie bekommen dafür
- kaputte Infrastruktur
- eine unbewohnbare Erde
- keinen ausreichenden Rentenanspruch
Klingt nach einem fairen Deal (für Alte).
Dear Bluesky Emperor: please stop showing me notification alerts for activity on a muted thread, it's like knowing people are talking about you in a group chat
Reminder that Trump plans a dictatorship. Please do everything in your power to stop him, no matter what you think of Joe Biden
“Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles?” No, Trump said. “‘I think a lot of people like it.”
You would expect an article on antisemitism in Berkeley schools to contain at least one straightforward example of antisemitism in Berkeley schools but nope!
www.nytimes.com/2024/05/07/u...
Accusations of antisemitism in K-12 schools have fractured a city long known for its progressive ideals and inclusiveness.
www.nytimes.comkicking off this met gala thread with two of my favorite looks so far, Demi Moore and Harris Reed. one of the ideal gala looks is "thing that looks like a danger to bystanders", and they've got that covered gorgeously
I am catching up on the met gala after being at an event for a few hours and it’s? weirdly disappointing? everyone looks kind of the same? like Easter in the Capitol of Panem? but less interesting?
This is president of the Unites States Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. He is saying this a day after Israel rejected a ceasefire and started bombing the last refuge for Palestinians, blocking the way out with tanks.
If you say people need to elect him to "protect democracy" you are a soulless creature.
Seeing this horrific Apple ad, I can't help thinking how we're destroying the humanities and arts at universities in order to force everyone into vocational majors like "marketing" where they'll learn to produce soulless crap like this.
The replies are 100% negative.

quoting this for broader reach - what should DMs default to?
1. off
2. follows only
3. all
We've been discussing this and I don't want to talk out of turn, but of the 3 options do folks generally feel that would be the best default?
you know a movie is really bad even when the presence of beautiful women even can't save it for me. this shit was straight ass.
Look, I'm not trying to be shitty here.
But why would I vote to get my own ass kicked? It literally looks like I will get my ass kicked regardless so why would I endorse a boot up my own ass?
“The policing part of the plan includes nearly $13 billion to hire 100,000 officers over the next five years…”
The plan includes hiring thousands more police officers
ny1.comsome dude just told me "men aren't going to bother protecting women anymore" and in all sincerity I am genuinely trying to think of a single time in my entire adult life when a man has ever protected me
I'm like, silly levels of Big Sad lately and I know I'm not the only one.
can y'all post a silly meme, an animal you love, or a gentle joke?
I'll reskeet all the ones with alt text (:
we're one month into this hyundai ioniq 5 and it is...incredible? it's comfortable, it drives and handles like a dream, the range is as promised (and honestly a little more), and the interior on the mid-range trim is very nice. also there's a ton of trunk space. i have, thus far, no complaints.
If my position is "Biden should do something to gain the votes of the young people he needs to win re-election," and yours is "No, he shouldn't, but they should vote for him anyway," you don't get to claim to be the practical one.
people think our current information environment is uniquely poisonous because of social media but idk I'm old enough to remember when the highest rated daytime talk show was telling people there were networks of satanists sacrificing thousands of children a year.

I am thrilled to share that the incredible @ddelgadovive.bsky.social has written an extraordinary guest post over at Life is a Sacred Text on the claim we hear sometimes about Jews being Indigenous.
It’s one of the most thoughtful things I’ve read in a while—and so worth your time.

The Fall Guy’s disappointing box office has me asking some existential questions. The headline of this piece is not rhetorical. I really want to know!
‘The Fall Guy’ had all the makings of a massive summer blockbuster. So what went wrong? And why don’t audiences actually go to the sorts of movies they claim they want?

happy Monday! I made a solid dent in my spring cleaning, so let's have an ✨artshare✨
🪻Drop your beautiful work of any medium! (artistic nudity okay 👌🏻)
🪻Interact with others! (please! I can see when you don't 🙏🏻)
🪻Repost this maybe? 👀
🌺Under 100? lmk and I'll repost from your media tab as well🌺
To get this out of the way: if the student demonstrators had asked me for advice, which by some inexplicable oversight they failed to do, I would have said: focus clearly on the war in Gaza. Leave the status of Israel out of it.
That said:
""From the river to the sea" has a wide range of meanings."
Yes, it runs the gamut from mass deportation to total extermination.
Not trying to armchair diagnose or anything, but a whole lot of people who are constantly screaming at other people about Causes on social media exhibit A LOT of behaviors that would make me put them on moral injury burnout leave if they were T&S agents I was managing
I am frankly not much use to anyone - friends, family, anyone I might use what resources I have to help - if I am constantly living in a black hole of despair
and neither, I think, is anyone else
do you think the ninja turtles ever explored each other's bodies

At some point we will tell the #DCEAUoD story about the time Nightwing, Flamebird, and Red Hood attend the Gotham equivalent of the Met gala and Nightwing is the most boringly dressed member of the trio for once.
MEN: if you were attending the Met Gala, would you wear a boring ass tuxedo or would you wear something completely wild because as a man, normally all you get to wear is a boring tux but IT'S THE MET GALA and thus the perfect opportunity to wear literally anything else?

So, there's going to be some busy stretches today, where I may not be around much, but I'll check in here every chance I get, I probably won't be on CD much at all but if you're not here I'll check for you there

People are still not paying close enough attention to the solar+storage energy revolution that's happening right now. Absolutely seismic shifts that are still *accelerating* every year
Continuing my series “what’s something good that happened on climate during and because of the Biden Administration”: the absolute exponential growth of grid scale battery storage. Barely existed before 2021. Now playing a big role soaking up solar & balancing grid. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
They’re delivering solar power after dark in California and helping to stabilize grids in other states. And the technology is expanding rapidly.

Ok I'm elaborating
In the US, the big bourgeoisie is the scapegoat for capital. Criticisms are levied towards the "top 1%," reducing a criticism of unique social relations to a criticism of wealth distribution.
(1/?)
Interesting take that I'm too tired to elaborate on rn:
The petty bourgeoisie is a bigger roadblock for socialism in the US than the big bourgeoisie
The ketamine clinic I went to sent a non-BCC mass email to, apparently, everyone who has ever done ketamine infusions at the clinic. This recipient list goes on for pages and pages. There are a few famous people on here. Great!
Who wore it best? #MetGala #CeasefireNow #TaxTheRich
From the beginning, the danger hasn't been Trump. He is constitutionally lazy, ignorant, unambitious and just generally not good at things. The danger is from people supposedly in opposition doing fuck all to stop the rest of his coterie, categorically more evil, ambitious and skilled than him.
I have an entire rant with several key points, but the gist is: Send Donald Trump to jail nothing bad will happen. There will be no riots, no demonstrations, nothing that can be done by the system or police or FBI or anyone to stop it. And once it happens, we’ll realize it was never scary.
And...Tonight I am losing the headache war. Haven't had one freaking day without a headache now for nearly 16 yrs.

Goodnight !
This is going to get shit on as New York exceptionalism, but it's absolutely true. Savannah doesn't shit on Atlanta. Lafayette doesn't shit on New Orleans. There are tons of states with a rural v. urban split but none that I can think of with an everything vs. one city split.
You don’t see the same dynamic in other states because there’s not quite the same megacity v everyone else divide. NYC is a global city in a way that no other US city save for Los Angeles is — and Los Angeles is balanced out by San Diego and San Francisco while NYC kinda stands alone.
Here's a question. When people say their parents boiled veggies, do they mean their parents steamed the veggies? I've never seen anyone anywhere truly boil a vegetable.
Hey just between you me and the wall but viewing traumatic images if you're unprepared is traumatizing and you should probably seek to filter out people who are sharing those sorts of images on your timeline

My hot take is that the industry should acknowledge that its business model is structured around shedding its workforce after every title ships(*) and welcome IATSE to organize its workers around living gig to gig.
My hot take is that workers at studios who do make a less successful game shouldn’t have their livelihoods taken from them either.
Machines can just about knit socks (and even then the toe and heel usually needs doing by a person). They can knit tubes, basically. Every single seam needs a person operating it individually.
People also have a really skewed idea of what machines can do! Like, if there is crochet on any piece of mass-produced clothing you own, that crochet was done by hand by a human. Machines can't do crochet! Or your bra! Your bra was sewn together by a human!
✨💪🏾 KIKI'S BIRTHDAY BUFF ARTSHARE 💪🏾✨
It's my birthday today and I think seeing buff or toned ocs would be a nice birthday gift!! 😊
✨ Share your art
✨ RT this post for the buff!

✨ SFW please! (A little spice is fine!)
🚫 No AI/NFT/CRYPTO nonsense on my birthday!!
I don’t see how the pose is effeminate or why that would matter.
I interpreted this shot as a Superman who is tired, taking his time.
This isn’t the alacrity of old-school Clark Kent, speeding to a phone booth to disguise himself.
I see a hero who has been fighting too long.
Ja, Sex ist geil, aber ich habe gerade ein Tiefkühlbaguette gegessen, ohne mir den Gaumen zu verbrennen.

Saw my first Cybertruck in the wild!
No discoloration (yet), but the angles are incredibly weird. Front looks pinched, body awkwardly high. Looks like a child’s drawing come to life.
Anyway, the school crossing guard and I had a good laugh.
Pues yo no quiero que lleguen los DM. Seguro que cuando estén disponibles, los usáis para discutir si películas en VO o dobladas, tortilla con o sin cebolla o chocolate negro vs. chocolate con leche.
Y mira, no. No me quiero perder estos apasionantes debates.
Muchas gracias a todos los que os acordáis de mi, sois un encanto, hay que serlo para cogerle cariño a alguien como yo que deja ver tan poco de lo que en realidad es. ♥️😘😘
In einer vernünftigen Welt würden es Medien nicht feiern, dass Till Lindemann ne neue Freundin hat.

¿Cambiará esto con oos DMs? Se empieza diciéndole a alguien q nos importa, se sigue recomendando a una autora feminista, hablando de sentimientos, gordofobia... Y se termina metiendo señoros en un gulag 😹😹

a little Montana confession, I used to follow justpearlythings on tiktok, as a fan. but this was before she started talking about gender roles. I followed her when she was doing rejection therapy content. for months she was intentionally asking strangers for things in order to get rejected
SJP Columbia reports a zionist extremist drove his car into a crowd of protesters, striking one and sending them to the hospital.
The attacker “received calm and friendly treatment” from the cops while “the person who was hit was arrested and handcuffed to the bed while in the hospital.”
Per IG:
Here’s the thing about Tressie leaving. I’m sure a lot of people who follow me have been annoyed about my regular complaints about what feels like a unique type of reply guy and self righteous antagonism on here. But the reason I point it out is to try to get users and the Bsky team to intervene.

Dumbass breaks his finger by letting his Cybertruck door close on it. How are they this dumb?
When we first opened up to beta users last year, the only dev building out the app was Paul, and it stayed like that for a few solid months, so it was simply not possible to achieve feature parity with other apps. With a few more hands on deck now, we're excited to ship things like DMs!
Also I keep having to google “what is a computer” which really slowed things down
People who get worked up about energy-efficiency standards, saying things like "the government is coming for your air conditioner!" and junk, are essentially saying "I refuse to let the government prevent me from making stupid decisions"
There is nuance - but the nuance isn't engaged with:
Anwalt (ca. 80 Jahre alt) beantragt für seinen Mandanten die Ehescheidung, nimmt Bezug auf die seit vielen Jahren nicht mehr gültigen Vorschrift der ZPO und begründet den Antrag nicht nur mit dem Scheitern der Ehe, sondern auch mit dem "Verschulden" der Ehefrau.
Ich brauch jetzt 'nen Schnaps hier 😵💫
es muss so dermaßen entspannt sein in einer welt zu leben in der sich die dinge so einfach rationalisieren lassen
Die Hamas? Weil es eine gute Strategie ist, sich Wohngebiete als Rückzugsraum und Schlachtfeld auszusuchen. Muss man anerkennen.
Die Zivilisten? Weil sie dort leben, oder wegen des Krieges des Hamas dorthin fliehen mussten.
I remain convinced that Trump is only even in the polls right now because most people haven’t heard him recently and as soon as he starts rambling gibberish on the campaign trail that will change rapidly
Trump declares the GOP is the “party of fertilization" in an apparent attempt to argue that Republicans have been here protecting women's access to IVF.
But not only is that false, he lost his point completely in this indecipherable word salad:
Somehow this cretin is always worse when he opines on something you know a bit about.
I would like to see him go into a lake in a Tesla right about now.
Vergesst bitte nicht, unter jeden Skeet eure Meinung hinzuschreiben, ganz besonders wenn euch etwas nicht passt.

This is HUGE news! In a first-ever human clinical trial of four adult patients, an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida quickly reprogrammed the immune system to attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor.

the powerful: “throwing him in jail might cause a revolution carrying him to a golden throne on a river of populist outrage”
very offline normie libs: “someone should shoot that motherfucker”
a recurring theme in the trump years have been powerful people being reluctant to describe him plainly, react appropriately to the threat he represents, and hold him accountable, all while saying doing so would alienate regular people. and then regular people having no problem with any of that
stormy daniels made a joke about how she had to go to the charity golf thing because her contract holder (wicked entertainment) sponsored a hole. on the stand

Unlike Biden, former President Obama at least met with protesters.
www.kenklippenstein.comMeanwhile, here’s Biden slandering the students protesting his genocide:
Over a million people are sheltering in Rafah and IDF sent in tanks about an hour ago. Rafah is also the only remaining hub for aid groups in Gaza.
Israel wants all of those people dead. And we are funding their extermination.
Just saw my first Cybertruck. It has its hazards on and was doing 25 on the freeway, and that’s so on the nose that I’m honestly a little annoyed.

NYS governors are very big on dunking on NYC and while it might seem weird to an outsider it makes a ton of sense when you understand the insane levels of resentment that exists between different parts of the state and especially everywhere that is not NYC vs NYC

The American Civil War is one of those historical things where, the more you learn about it, the less nuanced you see it was. There were some really bad guys doing really bad things who wanted to do even more bad things in more places. The good guys had to stop them. End of story
I genuinely do not understand how anyone who grew up in the suburbs does not automatically understand why car dependency is a bad thing.
Literally, how did you spend your early term years? What did you do before you could drive??
When I was 14 growing up in suburban NH, I wanted a pizza but my mom wouldn't drive me. I wound up walking 2 hours along a busy road with no sidewalk.
I distinctly remember that being the first time I realized that being forced to drive to get anywhere was a pretty unpleasant existence.

Okay. Well, I think we should start by addressing what I think to be the real impetus for your post about Kairi.
You're literally just mad she's popular, and the idea that it might make her money incenses you. It's not about the merch store, specifically; it's her making any money at all.
