Re: this fiasco, we need to rethink our ideas of allyship. There is a (frankly weird) idea in some circles that an ally MUST put up w/ people screaming at them. An ally has some obligation to listen, but everyone also has a right to control their space and boundaries via blocking, muting, etc.

If you're wondering why Bluesky uses "AI" as part of its content moderation, this thread is a useful one.

Image classifiers detect the worst content that needs to be gone (and humans then review the content given the labels in the most severe categories to see the context it was posted in and whether it needs to be removed entirely). But they also can't tell context.

I keep seeing surprised posts "Huh, I went to [insert event, conference, club, on an airplane, the Sphere] and got COVID!" Meanwhile CNN is running headlines saying "COVID-19's Back." Friends, it never, ever went away and I'm still masking in indoor spaces for your protection as well as my own.

This episode aired in 1994 and no other joke about American politics has held up that consistently for so long.

“Human bodies tend to use sleep time to lower temperatures and recover from a brutally hot day; if temperatures don’t drop enough, people sleeping without air conditioning — or, say, people in major cities that didn’t get their power back for a week after a storm — don’t get that chance”

Why would you be mad someone blocked you. “I can’t see someone I don’t like’s posts, and they can’t see mine!”. It seems like they’ve solved the problem for both of you

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

“There are millions of us here without papers, and the country depends on us,” said former Trump housekeeper Victorina Morales. “He knows that because his businesses depend on us and he knows how hard I worked.” www.vox.com/2019/2/4/182...

“Purge of undoc workers by the president’s company spreads to at least 5 Trump golf courses.” Trump and the Trump Org exploited undoc workers across _multiple properties_ yet they’re trying to make Americans fearful and spiteful of these workers in the name of political expediency. It’s so sick.

some people on here really don’t get how intersectionality works and instead think of it like some sort of pokémon type strength/weakness chart and i really wish that we could collectively acknowledge that there can be multiple important things to address happening all at the same time

since it's RNC immigrant bashing night, can some reporter ask Trump, his sons or his campaign about their long history of hiring undocumented workers? They demonize the very people who fed them, cleaned for them and made their businesses profitable www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pur...

13yo and I are amusing ourselves at breakfast by looking up “raccoon” on google translate and seeing how many languages were like “yup, that’s a bear doing its laundry” - German: Waschbär (washbear) - Danish: vaskebjørn (wash bear) - Bulgarian: миеща мечка (washing machine bear)

Trump just named as his #2 a guy who called for insurrection charges against a journalist for writing an op-ed & wants to censor academics and seize the assets of nonprofits he opposes. The "free speech" brigades haven't said a goddamn thing. And their benefactor just pledged $150m to elect him.
