When Jack first started talking about Bluesky, in the very early phases it involved the blockchain. I remember suggesting that I thought the reason he liked the idea was that he could theoretically build a version of Twitter where no tweets could ever be deleted, and therefore there'd be no pressure on him to moderate or ban anyone. He wanted to not have the power.People always thought I misunderstood Jack's motivations but it turns out I was right about him all along.https://www.engadget.com/jack-dorsey-claims-bluesky-is-repeating-all-the-mistakes-he-made-at-twitter-234326121.html

How many days do you suppose we have before Dropbox announces they are selling everyone's documents to OpenAI?

#MorganSpurlock has died and it seems like a good time to remind everyone that in 2008 he released a documentary called 'Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden?'The reception to the film was negative. People didn't like that "the mcdonalds guy" was getting involved in political affairs, or that he was treating Osama like a subject for comedy. The reaction was overwhelmingly "stay in your lane".Osama was found 3y later. The documentary pinpointed where he was hiding within less than 200km.

Also, Osama Bin Laden himself had a copy of the film in his hideout when he was found.

"We're Not Going Back" is such a dynamite slogan for 2024. Works on multiple levels, perfect antidote to the regressive-coded MAGA. Please run with this instead of "Let's Win This"

Went rooting around in my garage for my flag pole holder today. Old glory's going up, patriotism is back on the menu.

All we needed was to turn the country off and back on again.

He's 100% going to "go golfing" in Russia and never come back the instant he realizes he's going to lose, right?

270 is not the goal. The goal is such a staggering landslide win for Kamala Harris that it as seen as a nationwide full rejection of Trump and the MAGA movement, forcing the Republicans to rebuild themselves by recognizing that adherence to any facet of Trumpism is a guaranteed loss.America would be best served by two (or more) reasonable parties that universally reject extremists and bigots, such that they have no political home and no voice within American discourse.

I'd give anything to be able to effectively communicate to people who are going to hand Trump the presidency because they want to protest Biden/Harris's support of Israel how much they're going to regret that decision.I'm sure they think they're doing a lot and holding the line by "not voting for genocide" but the degree to which they're going to strongly wish, in a very short amount of time, that they'd made a different choice cannot be understated.https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook/2024/10/05/michigan-messes-mount-for-harris-00182609

How do you convince an entire group of people that think they're doing the right thing that they're about to do the one thing that a future version of themselves would go back in a time machine and change immediately?

Evidently, "the people you are claiming to support really don't want you doing this" isn't enough. And "the person you're doing this against really wants you to do it" doesn't move the needle.When your allies are against your decision and your enemies are for it, and that isn't enough to make you realize it, what else is there?

You are going to wish you hadn't done this. And you're going to probably regret it within 60 days of doing it. And when you stand up and say "wait I regret it can I have another chance" it will be far too late.Too late for you. Too late for Gaza. Too late for Lebanon. Too late for your LGBTQ friends. Too late for your friends of color. Too late for your immigrant friends. Too late for your mothers and sisters and daughters and roughly 50% of you.Hands down, the biggest mistake of your life.

Genuinely don't understand how people stay on X. I just logged in out of curiosity to see what things were like over there and my "For You" explore page has:- A post by Tim Pool- A post by Libs of TikTok- An anti-trans post by a name I don't recognize- A bunch of sports stuffThere were indeed mixed with stuff that seems to reflect my interest like movie news, comic books, and so on, but I've never engaged with any of the conservative shit in my life.

Okay obviously mass deportation is awful and racist but if I'm being honest I'm increasingly uncomfortable with taking the position that deporting immigrants is bad solely b/c we have industries that rely on being able to exploit their illegal status to pay them below what our laws dictate is our definition of a living wage. Maybe if farming and construction can't survive without exploiting people with no access to labor protections, they should not survive.https://www.npr.org/2024/11/23/g-s1-35465/trump-deportation-migrants-immigrants-texas-construction-industry-border-security
