Hey! If researching to help make infographics about Project 2025 sounds like a thing you’d like to do, @amyhoy.bsky.social is thinking about putting a team together. ⤵️
i was thinking i could make a collection of these (graphic design IS my passion (actually i’ve worked on some really successful visual design for covid awareness etc, millions & millions of views & got into higher offices) i need help with the research tho if anyone wants to team up??

I feel like the trick with Project 2025 is exactly the same as the WGA strike. little snippet screencaps going viral all over normie social media that make some shocking thing you had no idea about instantly digestible to anyone regardless of their information level or background

The far right cope machine is already trying to manufacture a narrative about the massive loss the French fascists faced today. They are scared they can sense what’s coming to America and it’s not fascism. Popular fronts win and scare fascists. Keep them on the back foot they are weak and scared.

So for all the narrative about the inevitable slide into anti-immigrant populism, four of Western Europe's five largest countries now have left or center left governments?

We haven't learned to stop posting Yashar? Lmao. Also interesting: He linked to a WaPo story and Lieu flatly denied it. The WaPo story says Lieu asked him to step aside. The @washingtonpost.com is straight up printing lies. You should be proud, you dogshit rag.

Fanfic. The only option is Harris. Period. She is Biden's running mate. People voted for her. There is no -- NO -- way to ask her to step aside that is not insulting. None. The article says that people would be "captivated." Wrong; this would guarantee a million Dems In Disarray stories.
Hey you guys wanna see the dumbest plan to replace Biden possible? www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

Honestly, I'm not that invested! I just think it's funny he's putting himself in the car in his movie when in reality, Alonso's considered geriatric at 42. I was just making a funny observation! But now it's gonna be a 24 hour cycle of nonsense. Do not recommend. 5/ end

I made the mistake of complaining that in Brad Pitt's new F1 movie, he's portraying a *driver*. Brad is 60. The newest driver on the F1 grid is 19. I mean.... Anyway, it's been a whole day of men telling me I don't know anything and Brad stans explaining that he's an *actor* so it's fine. 4/

On Threads, you get thrown out of your orbit pretty much by default. It's making me very cautious about what I say there because I don't want the hassle of randos in my mentions being assholes. 3/

If you're just bullshitting about some pop culture nonsense, if the algo decides to put you on blast, that's it. Threads will SEE you (and we all know what happens to your mentions then). At least on Xitter, it required one of your followers RTing you to break out of your orbit. 2/

I've started to spend more time on Threads because book world seemed to be coalescing there. I gotta say, I don't love the experience of the algorithm. It definitely puts you in touch with folks outside your usual sphere, and if you're looking for that, it's great. But 1/

And arguably what I am enjoying most is that this is not the hero theory of history. We’re not seeing a charismatic leader carry the election through rhetoric and force of personality. We’re seeing populations say: nope. I like the power of nope.

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us
*MACRON'S GROUP PROJECTED TO WIN MORE SEATS THAN FAR RIGHT *LEFT ALLIANCE SET FOR 170-215 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *LE PEN'S GROUP SET FOR 110-158 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *FRENCH LEFT SET FOR SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY, PROJECTIONS SHOW

THIS. I hope Americans can be this pragmatic in Nov.
"I am willing to live with a result that is acceptable but not my ideal outcome for the next two years in order to prevent the worst case scenario" is seriously encouraging to see

YAY FRANCE!
The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.
Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.
Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Or how about we cut off the useless AI servers instead?
