Hi frens! This is where I’m putting my old Twitter archive since that place has gone to hell. Everything from @StrivingAlly will be here, except the stuff that BlueArk can’t transfer. I love you all. Stay safe. Protect each other. Trans rights are human rights. We aren’t done til we’re all free. 💜

So many people have no idea how bad shit is about to get in the USA.

Fuck. I’m so sorry, American friends. I don’t know what to say.

Can someone explain to me, in a way that fucking makes sense, why Neil “The Game” Strauss is now seen as respectable by literally ANYBODY? I have conscious/gentle parenting insta accounts reposting that creepy rape apologist asshole into my feed. What the fuck. PUAs get fucked.

I still remember when the younger adults in the Trump dynasty faced criticism and scrutiny over their involvement in government matters without any accountability, and there was WEEKS of pterodactyl screeching from the RW commentators about “GOING AFTER THE KIDS!!!*!*!*”

Intellectually I know that objectively speaking, “nobody likes me and I’m actually alone and nobody cares” is not true. Like there is ever-present, tangible evidence to the contrary. But sometimes when I’m down and things are rough it *feels* very true. And easy to believe.

Fascinating to see the split of opinion on my timeline about whether the NABJ appearance was a good thing or a bad thing.

Downloading my archive today. Deleting tomorrow. This place has gone full fash.

Slightly behind my deadline. Gonna pull the plug tomorrow. Please come find me at bsky, friends. 💜

Nuking this account in seven days (13/7/24). There’s just too many things about this place that turn my stomach. I can’t continue to be a part of it. Same handle at bsky. Come find me. 💗🫶🏼

Republicans will yell about “tyranny!” when the First Lady encourages kids to eat more vegetables, then outright declare that the President can commit unlimited crimes with zero accountability as long as he yells “I’M THE PRESIDENT” while performing them.

If you’re one of the smug douches saying something along the lines of “but with these powers, the next Dem President could-“ Just stop. Stop right there. If you think there is going to BE another Dem President, you don’t understand the stakes Trump has been playing for.

Shit seeing how many people are celebrating Julian Assange’s freedom is kinda making me not want to be online today. If you listen to anybody who was at Wikileaks before he made it All About Him, he’s basically the Elom Musc of the org - entitled, self-important and a figurehead

The AI cultists think this is an own but YES, this is 100% unironically what we are saying. AI cannot write something good enough to take the place of a human writer. But it writes basically parseable text that could be used to fool a c-suite douche into canning writers.

God this is pathetic. These fuckers are even outsourcing their sealioning to a glorified autocorrect now. “Fact checked” with a fucking chatbot. Fuck me sideways. Back in my day trolls and assholes took pride in crafting their own antagonistic bullshit.

What the fuck? What’s happened to Linda Tirado?

Hard to believe they actually went with a dumber option than “Likes are now Florps 🙃”

Wait are you seriously telling me that one of the GOP’s current talking points is “well, Jesus was a criminal too!” ?

It could make for an interesting study to see how many of the columnists who were supportive of the “Arab Spring” liberation movements are now clucking their tongues at college students who are vocally objecting to Palestine being wiped off the map in a war of aggression.

Okay what the fuck is going on with the onion. I feel like there’s so many layers of memetic irony and reactions to reactions that I have no idea what the original news actually was.

Can someone ELI5 what’s going on with GG2: Electric Boogaloo? I’m completely out of the loop, and I’m guessing it’s not AbOuT eThIcS iN GaMeS JoUrNaLiSm this time, since that entire sector basically doesn’t exist anymore.

What the fuck circle of Groundhog Day purgatory have I landed in to see “comicsgate” trending again? Is it 2015?

The bots and shitty ads are getting ridiculous here, but it’s simply hilarious how easily you can just repackage The Secret and sell it to certain types of dudes if you just use the word “mindset” a lot.

When Elon said he wanted to make Twitter a “town square”, the town he was thinking of was Charlottesville in 2017.

If you’re an American who hasn’t volunteered to become homeless in order to give the land you live on back to the Lakota or the Cheyenne, maybe you’re starting to grasp that shit isn’t as simple as “all Israelis who live on Palestinian land are perpetuating violence”.

StrivingAlly’s Archive @archivingally.bsky.social · 15/11/2023

Yeah look abolishing the state of Israel isn’t actually a solution to anything any more than annihilating Palestine is so so uhhhhh please stop with that kind of talk. The answer to eliminationism is not more eliminationism. Leftie friends please what what you’re saying.

StrivingAlly’s Archive @archivingally.bsky.social · 13/11/2023

One thing that’s making it easier to contemplate leaving this place is watching formerly compassionate people who support a free Palestine gradually relinquishing their empathy for Israelis as a whole. A nation is not its leaders. Something Americans ought to understand deeply.

“Those monsters killed innocent people, therefore we have to kill many many more innocent people” is not an open-and-shut case for rendering the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable. Responding to atrocities with genocide isn’t an act of justice. It’s guaranteeing the cycle continues

Oh ffs look I know it’s been out for a little while but can y’all please not post unmarked Baldur’s Gate 3 spoilers? I’ve come across a bunch of them today and I haven’t had time to finish Act 1 yet. It’s really annoying having major plot points just dumped on the TL.

Cool so now all the evidence that the hospital was notified in advance by the IDF and that they initially TOOK CREDIT for the blast is being whitewashed away. So great that Community Notes are now a disinformation tool.

Lolololo he has no idea what he’s doing. This will officially kill what’s left of the site. Quality posters leaving, the bots proliferating, the blue-check chuds making everything toxic, and new pieces of functionality breaking each week … Why would anybody *pay* for this?

StrivingAlly’s Archive @archivingally.bsky.social · 13/10/2023

Discovering someone you’ve been friends with for a decade is actually a Zionist is a fucking headspin. Especially when most of their political views are firmly leftist. Like I expect even Jewish leftists to understand that Bibi is committing war crimes. Willful blindness. 😔

There are so many fucking strawmen being put up right now. Big “make up a guy to get mad at” energy coming from so many quarters.

Holy shit there are some terrible takes this week, from all parts of the political spectrum.

Ugh I have 800 followers here and 26 on bsky. Although I would rather be focusing there, it’s hard not to feel like I’m talking to myself.

As someone who has never got into Souslikes, I am annoyed at how the conventions of the genre have bled through to other games. I don’t play Jedi Survivor to be destroyed for missing a counter, I play it to feel like a badass space samurai wizard.

Reminder that Kevin McCarthy only gained the speakership in the first place after the MAGA caucus held it hostage until he agreed to basically being their puppet. The fact he’s now been stripped of the role just shows the GOP is more interested in stunts than doing their jobs.

I have been grappling with ages for the techbro argument that using references and influences as a human being is no different from what AI does when it cobbles together an artwork or a story … and I’ve been struggling to think of a useful analogy.

Exodus post @StrivingAlly@octodon.social at the mammoth site @strivingally.bsky.social on the cerulean sky site So long and thanks for all the fish. I will miss many aspects of this hellsite. But I can’t be a part of what it’s becoming for much longer.

Love how everyone loves to talk shit about how shitty and terrible tumblr was, but like 3 out of every 4 meme accounts I see are just reposts of tumblr threads. Seems like maybe there was plenty of valuable content there after all?
