So we are doing AI and Crypto, but shutting down Mozilla.social?

Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool.

Far too thoughtful, gracious, humble, and empathetic.

Start by removing all references to “Joe” and “you” and maybe this is something!

I think the “good people” are the ones who get raptured, but I’m really not sure.

Well, it’s good enough to be used by Linkerbaan, breakfastmtn, Dreamer, Silverseren, Keeponstalin, girlfreddy, Sasuke, Collision Resistance, MolotovHalfEmpty, etc.

Small-time player. Terrible at making deals.

It’s a left wing newspaper that has been regularly posted here from extremely pro-Palestinian users.

fleeing their homes to avoid being used as human shields by Hamas

That’s not what the article says. They are fleeing their homes because of the airstrikes and evacuation orders. They are attempting to institute rules in the shelters to keep out Hamas (who have repeatedly infiltrated humanitarian zones in order to continue staging military operations from within humanitarian zones).

targeted attack on Hizbolah

Hamas and Hezbollah are two very different entities, although they share a lot philosophically. What percentage of deaths in Gaza have been Hamas fighters?

Somehow I haven’t heard of this before now - the Egyptian Government’s intelligence agency apparently shuttled $10 million to the Trump Campaign through a shell company, then the investigation was buried when Trump took office and control of the Justice Dept.

This would be career ending for anyone else.

Okay, you got me, I’m still stuck here with all of you heretics

It’s true. I’m getting raptured right n

Check out this rare W for Kentucky!

This has been studied over and over and always with the same results. The economy isn’t hampered, jobs aren’t replaced by machines and overseas workers, the cost of goods doesn’t go up, and factories don’t close. The main impact is that quality of life increases, health spending increases (now that people can afford to take their kids to the doctor), and corporate profits decrease very slightly.

Especially in this economy of runaway corporate greed, we need a meaningful increase in wages

This is like an unfunny onion article. The fact that there can be civilian casualties in NYPDs war on fare jumpers is just shameful. It’s not for the money. They spend $150 million a year to recover $100k. Beyond an embarrassment.

Ah huh huh huh huw 🎶

It’s like if Bennett Foddy created a playable Excel.

Great, now Putin will have absolutely no way whatsoever to spread his propaganda on Facebook!

“We’re a scientific research company. We believe in open technology. Wait, what are you doing? Noooooo, you’re not allowed to study or examine our program intelligent thinking machine!”

People are not dumb.

Just because the law doesn’t require an answer now doesn’t mean it won’t. Immigration statuses last decades, so people have to make decisions that protect themselves through multiple administrations and changing political trends.What will the governor’s office do with this information? What about the next governor? They could station agents outside hospitals with higher rates of non-citizen patients. They could change the laws protecting patient confidentiality for non-citizens, and access those records (HIPPA is a law, not a civil right). Remember when we believed that abortion care and contraception was safe forever?

These people are fixated on punishing immigrants and if we don’t stop them now, they will just keep pushing the line further and further.

Before billion dollar companies move in, we need to see governments, universities, and journalists on the platform.

Well, we know they’re pretty good at spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories, so it makes sense. Too bad the humans using them seem more motivated to spread patanoia than to correct it.

Bottom line: is threads a potential entry-point into the fediverse for a lot of people who otherwise would not be aware/ interested? ABSOLUTELY YES.

Does that benefit offset the catastrophic harm it will do by overwhelming the fediverse with corporate interests, stacking nonprofits with Meta-friendly officers, and exerting leverage on Activity Pub development? NO WAY.
