@futurebird People from the post-reality community really, really hate wikipedia for these sins.

@futurebird They want the same flood of garbage which exists in russian media.

To destroy any hope of people knowing what's really going on, and organising against it.

@futurebird Much to my sorrow, image searches now contain an extra workload for me, in that I need to analyze each one for "is this slop?" and I hate that so much.

Often, the slop appeals more to people, so you get things based on it, which were made by a human.

It seems very hard to stem the tide, if it's possible at all.

Even after LLMs get dropped and nvidia dies, the garbage will stay with us for decades.

@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes Anyone still wondering if it's really that bad has their head up their ass.

@AnarchoNinaWrites You can't combine "world record annual oil production (countries)" with "leading the green revolution".

That people even try to square that circle baffles me.

It's like talking about the fire prevention track record of an arsonist featured as a celeb in Pyromanics Monthly.

@mekkaokereke I get there has to be access for emergency rescue, but that's why retractable bollards were invented.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Not sure how "it's only from propaganda" helps in a world where people constantly have to be careful not to click the recommended fash shit on social media to avoid having their entire feed shat up with 100% fash.

Like, any site which tries to track my prefs notices I'm looking at things which are news, queer af and so multicultural like I'm trying to score points.

And still it tries to funnel me into the fash path.

Can't be any less intense for others.

@futurebird @clayote I have the hardest time making people understand that a company can just buy a spot, and the only thing the phone maker and/or telco cares about is if they got paid for it.

"Yes, but surely" No! Nothing surely. No but. Just straight up bought for money, no further criteria.

@mekkaokereke While the entire reason the USA is so rich is that it allowed talented people from all over the world to gather.

If the xenophobes get their wish, those people will be elsewhere, and the wealth they generate, too.

This means the racist fools will end up permanently poorer themselves.

There's no magical point at which being all white will make them rich.

@mekkaokereke There's a lot you *could* do to make it more fancy, but if you can do the basic pancake, you've done plenty.

"Yes, but it's just a basic pancake!" -- yes, exactly. I'd eat 10 of those and be happy about it.

Your kids, too. Well, maybe not 10.

But they're not going "Oh no, you didn't use the right flour!" or "Why didn't you use cane sugar?"

Basic pancakes are GOOD, okay?

@mekkaokereke Giving credit to bad people never makes the bad people less bad, and never makes other good things easier.

Don't know how Bernie can get this old without learning that.

@YKantRachelRead @AnarchoNinaWrites Pickles.

@hannu_ikonen If violence is never the answer, please also do away with cops and soldiers.

But if I put it that way, suddenly they start to disagree.

@gwynnion Maybe they should berate bsky users or explain how it's only helping Trump win?

@hannu_ikonen The thing which upsets me the most about the one dead CEO being "news" is all the people dying because they couldn't get care or got destitute after getting care, once, aren't "news".

Not even really statistics.

Nobody mentions them, but there's thousands every year.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This sort of thing is why I got a seat in the shower.

When I needn't it, it looks like a waste.

When I do, it's a whole lot better than sitting on the floor.

@AnarchoNinaWrites You can just choose randomly and reject that selection over and over to help you decide.

Wait, that's not helpful.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I get the strong impression that lots of people living very comfortably in the status quo are looking for an "out" where we've "already lost climate" and they no longer have to try.

Useless whiny fucks.

@lowqualityfacts I never thought I would feel that outdone by a potato.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I was quietly going "Wait, Post Malone, too!?"

I mean, this being the timeline that it is.
