I don't use the other social media chanels. I know this site is a left leaning bubble but unlike other sites it doesn't push rancid opposing views in your face to provoke responses. Twitter became an absolute sewer following Musk's acquisition.

Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I find it amazing how Netflix perfectly adapted Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Yet it went under the radar.

Fun fact, the movie was almost directed by Tim Burton, had Johnny Depp as Count Olaf, and had Glenn Close as aunt Josephine. Gotta be honest Close or Streep, both are fantastic actresses for the role.

Also, they did an anniversary edition of the first book with Tim Curry as the narrator, I don't think they ever finished the series but it was good.

I find it amazing how Netflix perfectly adapted Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Yet it went under the radar.

Every book has 2 episodes split into 2 parts, usually under an hour, so taking the 2, essentially each book gets its own movie.

Also no shade to the movie, they actually did a good job the problem was finding a way to adapt the other books without the kids aging up. Also Jim Carrey, good pick for Count Olaf, NPH also a great pick.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

I can’t say I’d leave the lines blank, it’s a struggle I’d carry with me into the booth and I respect people going either way. But I can’t really argue against this

I agree with this strategy of voting for Dems provided that they haven't embraced extreme anti-trans positions. and I definitely agree that Kaptur, Cuellar, & Turek have all crossed that line & I personally wouldn't vote for them

Let's be honest the era of Grindr is over, especially since it's just scammers on there now,

Ronan Farrow@ronanfarrow.bsky.social

Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. This video shows where the app buried the off switch. The stakes are high on an app like Grindr. Numerous countries criminalize same-sex relations, so being outed through your data can be dangerous.

I will never vote for an anti-transgender Democrat like Josh Turek and you should not either. I'll probably be writing my case to abstain from a handful of races like his on Monday. Josh Turek is showing the exact slippery slope I've called out, in real time.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

And bullshit like this is why we need to backtax the churches, I'm not fucking kidding. Fuck the churches, fuck religion.

Christopher Hale: Archbishop Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee apologized on Sunday for praying over President Trump in the Oval Office last week, and he accused the White House of posting video of the prayer without the bishops’ consent

I feel like a digital version of a store changing its aisles, is whenever YouTube makes a change to their UI or homepage. Though if we're being honest I feel like it peaked around 2012.

I do wish the democrats would go after the maga with just a fraction of the energy they put into stopping "socialists" democrats. 🙄

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

This is definitely a quiet antiqueer propaganda campaign. Nearly everyone i know who is estranged from family have a strong component of their queer identity in the narrative of why. Hiding that in the headline frames perpetrator-as-victim and opens the door to further antiqueer ideology. Mark me.

Orvile Peck, the masked gay country singer who plays Vega in the new Street Fighter, says that Kylie Minogue, who plays Cammy in the 1994 film, nearly made a cameo in the movie. Peck still holds hope for the sequel. https://kotaku.com/street-fighter-cammy-kylie-minogue-orville-peck-vega-2000747561

I still can't believe stitch was a thing, it is one of the most whitewashed, no queens or homos here like in the original. And it's getting a sequel? BULLSHIT.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you
