I’ve been sitting on a take that’s basically “the fact that Aveta had to do this should’ve given everyone pause.” How do you have two intentional attempts to diversify the Skyline fail and still not acknowledge that you have a whiteness problem?

The right wing justices ideological priority is that the system function uninterrupted regardless of the guilt of the convicted, unless the guilty are political or economic elites. Fine for the wheels of justice to crush the innocent as long as they keep turning.

Do liberals understand that by enforcing the rule of law in the face of overt, confessed-to federal crimes, they are destroying norms we don’t care about and unleashing a retaliatory abuse of the system that we were planning to do if we felt like it anyway?

Hi everyone! PSA: Your N95s and KN95s will block a lot of the particulate matter that makes you feel real shitty during bad wildfires. Even cloth masks and bandannas help. Sorry if this is already obvious to everyone, I would rather be tediously repetitive than not say anything in this case

To make it explicit for people who don’t follow tech in this way: the lesson investors took from Uber being able to break the law & then get the law built *around* their exploration was that this is a great way to monopolize a market just as it’s forming, and regulators will help. Thus: AI “panic”.

I share this with everybody: if you encounter traumatic content, play 20-30 minutes of Tetris or other fast paced, visually intensive video game. It helps prevent future intrusive thoughts. It can help even long after the exposure: when you start dwelling on it, grab the Tetris.

6. People who aren't experienced in the nuances of T&S work are calling for "more moderators", by which they mean T&S agents, which is the wrong ask. Agents don't set policy or handle product safety feature design. They apply existing rules to the reports that come in. That's not the issue here.

For all the people telling everyone to stop expecting better moderation, that the focus is on tech etc: the only reason most of the people are here is because of broken moderation on Twitter. The tech means nothing without a moderated platform. It is the only feature most care about at this point.

With Target hiding or removing their Pride collection due to threats, do think it’s going to stop here? What happens when they receive threats about an employee wearing the rainbow logo? Or because an employee is visibly transgender or gender nonconforming? It never stops.

Pretty proud of this coalition, tbh. Just a little while ago today, over the howls of Republicans, the Minnesota legislature repealed nearly every abortion restriction lurking in statute. And it all started with the efforts of this coalition of progressive organizations.

The problem is, as far as I can tell, the team *was* born yesterday. I haven't been able to identify a single jaded old T&S veteran even advising them, much less working for them. Which means they're going to reinvent every single wheel along the way.
