I might be an outlier on the Internet.

I have listened to exactly one podcast.

It was my sister's. It was a big deal for her.

#podcast

@StefanThinks@beige.party What's weird to me is that people listen to them.

Hopefully my sister doesn't see this, but ... no. Not gonna.

I hate that I can't trust art, or "artists," anymore.

I even feel compelled to use scare quotes.

Artists are no longer.

We're an underground.

The natural next question is, is #Mastodon any different?

By "noise," of course, I mean you can't be heard.

Bluesky, now:

Any sufficiently large social media environment is just noise.

@thedarktangent@defcon.social Mifepristone.

Let's face it.

We're all wrong.

We were all wrong.

Be fucking wrong for a while, OK?

So you learn a motherfucking thing?

What will the "average" American do when there are concentration camps in the USA?

Isn't this what Hollywood has trained us for?

Turn into gun-toting rage-monsters that hack and slash thru the "enemy"?

"Point me at 'em! Let's get those alien invaders!"

Or...

"Point me at 'em! Let's get that oppressive state!"

How shallow have we become?

My Bluesky persona isn't me. It's not safe to be myself, there.

It's not safe to be myself, here.

It's not safe to be myself, IRL.

This -- the Fediverse -- is obviously unsafe. Everything is public. It's just letting it all hang out there and we can block or be exposed. So I use a pseudonym.

I use a different pseudonym on BS, so that the two can't be easily cross-referenced.

They're slurping up the data from his stable-state transition through chaos into their "AI" (not AI BTW) to blurp out probability scenarios for how we'll all react to having tech-bro overlords.

I'm telling you...

Even without your effort, this is gonna be a shit storm.

@ktneely@bookrastinating.com @bookstodon@a.gup.pe For years, I have been thoroughly convinced that the only reason we eat meals together -- and seriously whole religions have sprung up out of that tradition (Last Supper, anyone?) ...

Is so that we can't hear the disgusting sound of our loved ones masticating.

That would make us hate them.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org I moved all my projects off of GitHub when the "AI" craze started.

I'm not alone.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @davetroy@toad.social Yeah I signed up for BS, but notroot.online ain't going nowhere. I run it on a server I already had.

I wonder how long before there's another migration to the Fediverse... this time from Bluesky.

@knittingknots2@mstdn.social The "impossibly high standards" he means.

We're being thrown 3/4 of a century backwards in time, politically speaking.

An insurgent social movement vindictively intent on oppressing everyone who doesn't fit the fascist bill.

Fuck them.

Bring civil disobedience back.

#CivilDisobedience

@dangillmor@mastodon.social Who are the traitor fucking Dems, and how can we ruin their careers and lives?

@_L1vY_@mstdn.social That's touching. I dig it.

@ozof@beige.party @Lana@beige.party @anubis2814@friendica.myportal.social @setsly@mindly.social 👀 🦁

@AGTMADCAT@infosec.exchange What can I say. I read up, and you're right.

So let's go ape on this.

QT for extra emphasis...

This is what Americans rejected, choosing two unqualified white supremacist instead to disgrace America.
