Break bad premises, don't accept them. Receive obstacles as problems to solve toward the goal, not reasons to never pursue the goal. Realize there are enough of us to pursue everything, so there are no distractions, and there is no trolley problem. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

There Is No Trolley Problem

We actually aren't constrained into atrocious premises by thought exercises. Obstacles are a reason to fight, not an excuse to quit. Our friends and neighbors aren't distractions..

Social media platforms like Bluesky don't have to be the most popular. What matters is having a critical mass of users. Bluesky has that. The fact that Threads, yet another zombie algorithmic platform where you're routinely fed posts from a week ago, has more users is irrelevant.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

I wonder if Steyer's obscene use of progressively expensive and offensive attack ads on Becerra is not backfiring. Steyer has spent over $195 million on his overall advertising campaign in an attempt to purchase California's Governor's seat. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

‘Yes, this is an ad’: Steyer’s paid influencer blitz is roiling California’s governor race

The fight over paid influencers illustrates how important online content creators have become in political campaigns.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

A colorful riot of tulips and other flowers.

2/2 If you're replying to educate you have to be prepared to not reach the primary target but possibly only plant a seed for a 3rd party reader who may be more receptive to another perspective. You can’t achieve much if you feed the negative tension, best to just make your point then peace out.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

And people who refuse to enter a shared reality with a grounding in evidence and expertise and human dignity and diversity will always experience evidence and expertise and human dignity and diversity as confrontation, no matter how gently or bluntly it is delivered. "Confrontation" it is, then.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

PRO TIP: If you send someone a message asking if you can send them a message, it doubles the number of messages they have to get through. Instead, just send the message as a BLUF (bottom line up front) in a sentence or two. And if you send a link, give a quick summary of what it is. Stay frosty!

ICE/CBP is doing this because they think they have federal immunity. But, that has not provide impunity from social consequences. Every current ICE/CBP agent needs to be identified, shamed, and ostracized for the rest of their life. People like Kissinger and Bush can survive that, not low level guys

A person who lives according to a truth you've told may have been compelled by the truth, not you. But to force a person to live according to your lie means you are the one who compelled them. The more obvious the lie, the more obvious your domination. So fascists prefer obvious lies.
