And also "don't accuse people of genocide because they might just turn out to be simple crimes against humanity and gosh wouldn't you look silly then" is... not great. To quote MLK: "if I have overstated my case, I beg you to forgive me, if I have understated my case, I beg God to forgive me"

Don’t believe for a moment that Musk believes in “free speech.” The people he’s courting certainly don’t.

Scoops from me and @rmac.bsky.social! Musk has used Twitter to build influence with right-wing leaders, blocking the company from enforcing its policy against election misinfo after Bolsanaro's loss and telling workers he'd call Modi directly to resolve issues www.nytimes.com/2024/05/12/t...

In 2017, when a madman drove his car into a crowd of people in Manhattan, it was described as a terror attack, the city sent out a push notification to warn people, and it dominated news for days. This one went ignored by media and coddled by cops.

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:

Almost as if Brexit was a fraudulent prospectus that, once enacted, was bound to disappoint the people who voted for it and reinforce the resentment of people who didn't. Remarkable.

I have been defeated by the tiniest foe and retired from the field of battle. My attempts to photograph the “small in stature but enormous in attitude” Blue-gray Gnatcatcher were a dismal failure despite pleading, cursing and whining. Instead please enjoy the beautiful landscape. #birds 🌿

Yall I saw the unofficial fish of bluesky. A 1000 pound mola mola just munching down on velella velella. Can't wait to get on a smaller boat and get some underwater shots of these perfect creatures this summer. 🦑
