Wow! Yes, massive props to the whistleblower for being honest with the public. This story is insane

The SAVE act is blatant voter suppression and will prevent millions of eligible Americans from voting. Tell your representatives to vote NO on the SAVE act: social.demcast.com/s/QlpF1MmU #StopTheSaveAct

Sitting on hold waiting for a customer support agent always reminds me of The Office when Jim & Dwight made a sale by calling Dunder Mifflin and Kelly answering the phone immediately after the competitor had them on hold forever. That pitch would 100% work on me

So I guess I've gone and drawn a political comic! I didn't like the discussion happening around the recent protest so I wrote a minicomic about it. There might be more. I have ideas for more. You can download a printable version for free here: enchantedpencil.itch.io/activism-com...

Title: Watch your language! Keeping morale up in the fight against facism.

Character A: That protest wasn't enough! We need to do more!
B: Stop! This kind of talk actually hurts our cause. I know what you're trying to do. You think if you say:
A: We need to do more than we did!
Group, looking motivated: Ok! Let's do more!
or,
A: That action made a big difference.
Group, walking away: Well, we did it! Everyone go home.

B: People are the most motivated when they can see their actions causing an immediate change and positive effect. And they won't want to repeat actions they think didn't have a big effect.
A simple graph shows a stick figure getting demotivated when the time to reach their result is too long.
So this is the real effect of your words:
A: We need to do more than we did!
Group, concerned: That didn't do anything? Maybe my actions don't really matter...
A: That action made a big difference.
Group, celebrating: Maybe my actions really matter! What should we do next?

The fascists WIN by making us think we are POWERLESS.

It's natural to think that the perfect event, if BIG and STRONG enough, will solve everything overnight.

But this is a myth. One person alone has a small skillset, a small sphere of influence, and a small impact. The event that finally tips the scale may feel like a special event that finally did something different. But it isn't special.

An illustration of a scale with two piles of sand, the pile of gray sand on the left is larger and tips the scale.

Change WILL come from the sum total of all our small actions added together.

In the next panel the pile of rainbow sand on the right has become larger and tips the scale in the opposite direction.

Accessibility is often taken for granted. We're good at spotting barriers that we had to overcome. We don't always notice the places where a barrier was removed or lowered to make our path easier.

The FTC One-Click Cancel rule goes into effect in July! I cancelled a subscription yesterday that required a 30-word explanation for why I was cancelling. I used the form to tell them that their cancellation flow risks violating federal law 😁 Thank you Lina Khan! (former FTC chair)

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I think some top-level configuration options would help as well. “PMsky will be customizable. You can review every suggestion manually or automatically apply labels when enough users suggest it” (if that’s something you have in mind)

Darrian @darrian.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

My first thought was, “what about bots & trolls?” If PMsky can be limited to a team of approved users, I would mention that as well. Like “Or recruit specific trusted users to vote on labels.”

Darrian @darrian.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Suggestion: First sentence should get straight to the point in non-technical terms. Maybe “With PMsky, Bluesky labels can be determined by public consensus. Labelers can let the community help moderate content and avoid relying on individual opinions.”

If you haven’t started converting images to AVIF on your website, you’re missing out! The compression is SO much better than JPG & WebP. Plus it supports animation!! I replaced a 400kb GIF with a 28kb AVIF 🥳

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.

Trump ate shit on one of the very first things he tried (the Gaetz nomination) before he even took office again he will do enormous damage but he is not invincible and the more friction we can put in his way the less he will do it is what it is now, fighting back is the only viable option

Think of categories as tags, that's probably the best way to implement it. Posts are uncategorized by default, and can be added to or removed from categories any time by editing the tags. You can choose to follow or mute posts with specific tags from an account. By default you see everything.

Darrian @darrian.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

It's crazy to me that none of these apps let you categorize your posts. Being able to follow/unfollow specific types of posts from people would be amazing! You could post whatever you want without worrying about losing followers who followed for a particular type of content.
