In 2024 on social media, self-identifying this way is a yellow-turning-red flag.

Northern attitudes toward the South are too often dismissive, reductive, and arrogant. Those are our people down there fighting to be free from gerrymandered political domination and exploitation. We should be arm in arm with them, not sneering that they get what they deserve for living there.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

exactly this. "posting accomplishes nothing" is such a bad take. like saying people you met online aren't "real" friends. social media is a communication tool, through which you can educate, agitate, organise, fundraise, etc. if you're not seeing this you need to follow more and/or different people

Posting has kept me alive, fed, and reasonably sane. Speak for yourself.

Social media helped me build a career but ok

The very worst thing about social media, including this site and the Bad Site and every other site, is the illusion that by posting on it you’re accomplishing anything.

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

It's important to note that this single-post analysis above is entirely consistent with a much more comprehensive analysis by @ketanjoshi.co showing that changes in the X algorithm and moderation policies that began in Oct 2022 have massively favoured trolls and penalized climate scientists. See:

Musk is remaking Twitter into a climate denier sanctuaryketanjoshi.co I got some data that analyses how climate deniers have changed their audience size, relative to pro-climate accounts, on Musk's Twitter. It's....not good.

Judging folks for not knowing the thing "everyone knew" in your whisper network is a great way to tell the people whose safety you don't care about that you also feel morally superior to them.

Most progressive people may not yet agree that NYT is more harm than good for democracy, and that we’d be better off with it going out of business. But I’m confident they will in the next five years.

this is the NYT laundering documents provided by a professional bigot to scandalize a completely non-scandalous thing bc the times has decided that the organization founded to stop gay parents from adopting kids is actually right in their bigotry and every major medical association is wrong

"you're not American why do you care about the 4th of July" mate I'm Indian, any day someone got the Brits to fuck off back to their country is a national holiday for me

The stone cold move is to kill your subscription (addiction) to the NYT Crossword *and* dial back/fade out your Wordle, Connections, & Spelling Bee intake that helps fund the trash they print as iffy headlines and Op-Eds

Don’t link to The NY Times @nytimes.com attempt to ratfuck the election. DO unsubscribe to it. On top of it, the author concealed his extremist Theocratic politics. From transphobia to the Iraq war to the NYT should not get your money & avoid giving it traffic

Your honor, with all due respect, I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here.

Your honor, with all due respect, the man in the back said "everyone attack!" and it turned into a ballroom blitz

regardless of whether you feel Biden should step down you may want to ask whether his debate performance is worthy of being treated as the most important thing happening in the world for a solid week or whether you are witnessing some grade-a consent manufacturing

The New York Times has treated “Biden is old” as the most important story in the world for five consecutive days now

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure

I have a one strike block policy for users in other bigger Bsky acct threads where there's immediate context collapse, duplicate posts fr people not reading the threads they post in, and mucho aggro-Twitter energy. They're randos + not *my* teeming parasocialized fanbase, so what do I care

Hey, if it’s alienating to hear “I told you so,” that’s probably because you didn’t listen, and you know it, and you feel bad — because you should feel bad. Making the other person feel bad for being right and saying so is a great way to deflect attention from your own unwillingness to listen.

i don't want to alienate anyone with i told you so shit but like if you are just joining us with "things in america look very bad" you might consider listening to people who have been saying that who you have been pointedly ignoring

it tells you something about the state of arts criticism that you can readily get anthologies of the year's best science writing, sports writing, or even food writing, but not arts writing
