seeing a lot of knee-jerk defense of "journalists need to stay out of fandom" wrt heated rivalry ive never seen this kind of mainstreaming of a formerly niche fandom product like this - i think ppl need to understand that when fandom drives culture it invites (and deserves) criticism

I keep saying the evangelism for AI is more religious than secular and people keep looking at me like I'm loopy

This is the mask-off version of what many Americans now believe — when healthcare is not a right, you internalize health as your personal responsibility, to be maintained as a part of your broader portfolio for a neolib, what is health if not earning/productivity potential?

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

All these attacks on scientific research means progress towards finding treatment that can improve many chronically ill people's quality of life is slowed down.

“Many of those interviewed broke down in tears as they described the rapid destruction of decades of work … “‘You could open the funding floodgates again tomorrow and you will still have children dying months from now because of this pause,’” one scientist said.

RFK Jr is a hardline eugenicist. This is dangerous for *everybody,* but in combination with the recent attacks on disabled people and accessibility under the anti-DEIA orders, it's really, really bad for disabled folks.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting. This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

Screenshot from a 2020 BuzzFeed News story that reads:

One employee who spoke with BuzzFeed News after the event was not comforted by their CEO’s words.

“He seems truly incapable of taking personal responsibility for decisions and actions at Facebook,” they said.
