Ideally when I wake up tomorrow I'll have 25k responses and press inquiries asking how I knew bsky was going to have a server outage.
An employee within Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey shouts taunts at protesters. The man called one woman “sexy red,” and yelled “come here girlfriend.”

I still get this question often; the explanation is pretty straightforward (and depressing.)
Site's going down! Out your crushes!

You are entitled to be the person you are without getting shit from anyone for it, and I do not get to judge you for your decisions. I am always thrilled to learn from people, and I WANT to learn from people, but rando coming in hot is going to get blocked post-haste.
we will both be happier if you just preemptively block me. I have your backs forever, even if you don't think so, but I would rather be actually there for people than spend my time announcing that I am there for people for clicks. I'm an old punk. I do not put up with bigotry period.
I'm kinda internet-annoyed right now because I spent some time being shamed for not doing performative allyship in favor of just like... having a hyperactive justice gland and trying to be an actual ally, and in my slightly buzzed annoyance, I will say that if that bothers you...
SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members?
I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.
