I don't think they'll ever recreate what it was like to be on twitter in the 2010s. Soap opera stuff happening constantly. Poster you were vaguely aware of involved in federal fentanyl bust. Poster whose jokes you occasionally liked posed as his aunt (or wife?) for 6 years. Pastor who steals jokes

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

Paulina Borsook described the tech industry in a way it didn’t (and still doesn’t) want to see itself—an extremely hierarchical environment, led almost exclusively by white men who were ideologically right wing, despite their left leaning marketing (which has long since disappeared).

We really ought to sit with the fact that Verhoeven, three decades later, has to publicly say 'Guys, the one I made about the militarized society in nazi uniforms waging an expansionist total war against aliens they refuse to understand? It's about fascism' www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

hollywoodreporter.com

Paul Verhoeven on U.S. Space Force’s ‘Starship Troopers’-Inspired Uniforms: “It’s Based on Leni Riefenstahl”

The director of the 1997 sci-fi film, which has often been misunderstood, says the gung-ho soldiers who are its heroes "are fascists without knowing that they’re fascists. That’s the point.”

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

They don't call Mina the GOAT for nothing

Mina Kimes in WIRED on why Bluesky is great and Twitter sucks shit:

"Favorite social network: Bluesky
I post everywhere to try and get my work out there and get it seen and read. But I would say the one that I use the most is Bluesky. While it has its flaws, there's definitely the occasional sports ball person in my mentions. I’ve found the interactions on there are the most like interactions I have with people in the real world, which is a rarity on the social internet these days.

Least favorite social network: Twitter
Everyone says Twitter, right? Which is a bummer because it used to be really fun and essential for news. When breaking news was happening, it was a place you'd go to get on-the-ground impressions. You could meet friends, you could find new writers and comedians, and all of that feels lost just because Elon completely killed the vibe. And I say that because obviously he's done things far more serious in terms of poisoning the discourse, and the place is a cesspool for racism and misogyny and misinformation, but it's also just, like, a terrible fucking hang. Everyone either seems miserable or is determined to make other people miserable.

In the year since Charlie Kirk’s killing, the federal government has, as promised, ramped up its targeting of leftist groups and individuals: Minneapolis anti-ICE activists have been raided and indicted. Orgs like PSL & CodePink subpoenaed. Hasan Piker is an existential threat.
