I'm old enough to remember when Oreo handed out packs of cookies with pronouns on them at NYC's 2019 Pride as a partnership with NCTE (National Center for Transgender Equality) so The Federalist ran a whole essay slamming NCTE (National Council for Teachers of English)

One of the things that's been notable about examining the relationship between search engines, news outlets and anti-trans hate has been how frequently outlets recycle outrage material throughout the year to keep stories active. This 2/7 story about Oreo is a reaction to their packaging from June.

In general an encouraging thing to me about bsky is that people on here seem much more savvy to the fact that there are bad actors online doing propaganda stuff like this and they need to be proactively dealt with.

Oh good, the "accounts sharing exclusively white Western aesthetic as 'culture' alongside fascist dogwhistles" accounts that everyone falls prey to because 'ooh pretty pictures' is now on here. We had a good run I guess.

When conservatives tell you who are they are, believe them! "I would rather kill a member of your family than temporarily lose my ability to patronize restaurants" like THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE

the thing about Bethany is that when she’s not busy killing her own mother, she might try to kill yours

All can be true: 1. Concerns about Biden age are legitimate - he'd be president at 86! Ds would go crazy in reverse situation. 2. But coverage is wildly disproportionate; both men are elderly & showing their age. 3. Most importantly, only one makes outlandish false statements & threatens democracy.

The NYT is cashing in their reputation as the paper of record to get Trump elected because it will help their profitability. You are not required to help them with this. Today is a great day to cancel your subscription.

social media in a post-twitter world is much easier to compartmentalize. When you are posting some art or humor you do it on Bluesky and when you are posting something which would be helped by 6 angry and pedantic Germans nitpicking you, you do it on Mastodon

PSA! Not even joking. Don’t even *handle* lilies and then go home & pet your cats

It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

it's cool that the presidential race has moved on from such boring topics as "policy" and is now about which candidate has the least holes in their brain.

This fact-check from ABC News is what I've been asking for from the NYT for literally years now. Our health care is held to an impossibly-high standard while politicians banning it are allowed to lie lie lie.

Researchers dive into common gender-affirming care youth misconceptions, questionsabcnews.go.com Health care providers who specialize in this field say there is a lot of misinformation about what gender-affirming care for transgender minors means.

we know at this point that piracy is a service issue Spotify is a shitty company and treats artists horribly, but it is a convenient place to Just Listen To Music and most folks use it rather than bothering to pirate mp3s streaming gets worse and more expensive instead? yo ho ho, motherfuckers

as predictable as clockwork: chasing Wall Street's need for improved quarterly returns at ANY cost, streaming companies are going to steadily make their services shittier and more expensive then when users inevitably migrate back to piracy they're going to blame absolutely everything but themselves

New users, do this! Even if you previously never thought about alt text, adding it will soon be second nature. Isn’t it awesome when being considerate & thoughtful & inclusive is second nature? Wouldn’t it be great if there were a toggle switch for that in life? Anyway. Alt text toggle! Use it!

What a great feature! Everyone should go toggle "require alt text before posting" on under "Accessibility" in the Settings menu.
