First conference presentation at APSA 2025 wrapping up year one of my PhD 🤗

The Minneapolis shooter was wearing a KMFDM shirt bc they were a fan of past mass shooters and wanted to nod specifically to the Columbine Shooter Dylan Klebold. This has absolutely no connection to the band itself or their music which is politically left. Let's leave the Satanic Panic in the 90s.

Forgot about the Air and Water show and now I get to spend the rest of the week/end terrorized by the sound, worried about my apartment being hit by a fighter jet for literally no reason. But its fun I guess!

Maybe I am just sheltered from growing up in East Los Angeles but I am legit disturbed by the number of totally average young white women on the other app that are proud flagrant white supremacists, posting selfies and all. For free!

This whole “Children of the Waning Star” TikTok cult debacle is a prime example of why digital public spaces should NOT be all ages spaces. Children and teenagers need their own moderated digital spaces where they can express themselves and connect without being exploited by lonely adults or worse.

I thought I couldn't hate wasps more than I already do, but the high rise I live in is covered in bridge spiders (a type of orb weaver) which I have grown to love and to my horror I now have to witness their parasitic kidnappings by mud-daubers on a daily basis all summer long.

These exposes are becoming increasingly common and yet there is very little interrogation of whether these metaphysical matrixy "AI as god" responses are the result of intentional training by the noted techno accelerationists who develop these chatbots. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

Through the course of this fuckery I’ve noticed that there appears to be no strategy beyond sheer chaos and acceleration. They are making cuts and firing people indiscriminately, which will inevitably affect their own constituents. What is the end goal here beyond just being king of the ashes?

Trump's Office of Women's Health added a whole page devoted to transphobia under the guise of "protecting women and children." It's not trans-people women and children need protecting from, its cis-men. We are harassed, abused, assaulted, raped, and murdered every-fucking-day by cis-men.

This is the second midwest columbiner in under two months to plot a mass shooting. Its almost as if there aren’t a litany of public UwU fan cams of Dylan Roof and other mass shooters all over Tumblr and TikTok at any given moment. www.indystar.com/story/news/c...

Why does Cyberpunk 2077, with its enormous soundtrack, keep torturing me with the shittiest adult contemporary-counting crows-ass song during seemingly every sentimental character cutscene?

Interesting dichotomy between the response to this article here vs on X where right wing users are denigrating the author mostly for their gender, unlike here where they are being taken to task for having a horrible personality. You just *know* they frequent Dimes Square. (but live in Brooklyn)

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

While the FDA is out here being useless banning red food dye over dubious claims of risk, a reminder that they absolutely refuse to approve new sun filters which are more effective, more water resistant, and used all over the world — except in America.

Banning TikTok is a bad move especially if the same legislation and *concern* of surveillance and data extraction is not being applied to American social media. However, joining Red Note is certainly not the answer if you care at all about freedom of expression, privacy, and human rights.

TikTok users are not joining Red Note to “stick it to the man,” they are explicitly signaling that they don’t actually give one flying fuck if the platforms extract their data and surveil them. I’m happy to see the organizing around Bluesky but these video based platforms are another beast entirely.

Taylor Agajanian @cyborglibrarian.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Idk who needs to hear this but handing your data over to the Chinese government to “own” the US government over the TikTok ban isn’t the flex you think it is. This is an opportunity to extricate our social platforms from both oppressive billionaires AND oppressive governments.
