Seems like @schizanon has a dopamine problem of their own. Blocked me ages ago because they don’t like those who point out that as it stands AI is used to harm. They forgot: -Why they still thinking of me? -Why didn’t blocking me make them happy? -I’m worried about schizanon’s mental well-being

List description from @schizanon.bsky.social
Responses on being added to my mute list:
-I’m not mad, you can tell because I posted a screen shot
-This is a war crime, schizanin should be hanged!
-I know you are but what am I?

Thomas Guides? I’ll go look for one! Love me a great map/atlas. We get new DeLorme’s whenever we move states. Gives such detail. Works even in the deepest tallest redwoods!

As a former cashier married to a former cashier I find this thread interesting. Cashiers are losing jobs while we do their work to increase corporate profits. Too many jobs being lost to automation and AI without giving us a new way to support ourselves. Greed kills.

This description sums them up nicely. On second thought, not nicely, because absolutely nothing about these broken excuses for humans is nice.

Quote from The Epstein Class and the Global City: Impunity in an Age of Genocide By Dr Shahridan Faiez

The Epstein Class is not defined by a single shared crime. It is defined by shared insulation. It consists of ultrarich financiers who bend markets, tech-utopian billionaires who claim to redesign humanity, philanthropic moguls who steer public priorities through private wealth, highly influential policy advisers who rotate between universities, governments and boardrooms, and even royalty whose inherited prestige grants enduring social capital. They inhabit the same global cities, attend the same summits, fund the same institutions and rely on the same legal architecture.

Their defining trait is entitlement. Borders are conveniences. Regulation is friction. Reputation is manageable. When scandal erupts, crisis managers intervene. When outrage swells, time dilutes it.

Over time, this insulation corrodes something deeper: humanity.

The Fourth Estate has been captured by the oligarchs. They prop up Farage and Poilievre to our great danger. Even the AP.

@schizanon.bsky doesn’t understand that AI does not care about them, me, or you, and especially if we starve. AI tech bros out of control. They also obv have not had their income vaporized by AI. They confuse us with luddites when we simply refuse to starve quietly in the corner.

List “Can’t tell the difference between a technology and a corporation.” created by @scizanon.bsky who sees humans needlessly losing their jobs to enrich techbro oligarchs as acceptable.

It sure is. That history repeats itself ain’t no joke.

It’s really interesting being blocked by someone you’ve never interacted with and, being curious, you find childish crap like this. Mislabeling righteously angry progressives “Rich old liberals” to score points. “Dark hero” 🙄 who spreads the same ignorance that continues harms others.

I miss 🥩 so this sounds plausible too.

The Good Provider by Marion Gross is an overly contrived tale about an inventor who creates a time machine—but it will only take him to a specific place in the nearby town, only twenty years ago, and only for twenty minutes. His wife uses it to get cheap meat from the butcher. I realise that not all SF can have an epic scope, but . . .

Class a @ssh0le ain’t he? So entirely sick of men who can be exposed for their abuse of women then being allowed to abuse us all. Robert’s comments SCOTUS are not political actors. Absolute bollocks. He really thinks we are idiots. HE is making policy decisions. Shadow docket treason.

Opening from AP article by Lindsay Whitehurst, May 6, 2026: HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) — Supreme Court justices are not “political actors,” Chief Justice John Roberts said Wednesday, insisting unpopular court decisions are based solely on the law.

“I think, at a very basic level, people think we’re making policy decisions, we’re saying we think this is how things should be, as opposed to what the law provides,” he said. “I think they view us as purely political actors, which I don’t think is an accurate understanding of what we do.”

This you crowing about how you purchased our democracy via the idiot Trump? This you crowing about exerting FOREIGN INFLUENCE over our elections? Law and order will come back to the US. I’m looking forward to AIPAC facing justice. ⚖️

AIPAC racist twitter post crowing about how they got six Illinois democrats of the “would-be squad” defeated using foreign influence and dumping money into American elections.

"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities." Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me." I UNDERSTAND WHAT ALI SAID. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB ***FOR THE PEOPLE***

Ok. This is also weird.

Exact text copy of original post (from buriedbybooks) by a second poster:
Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out.

It’s. Weird.

I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing.

I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.

The hard truth is you are voting to fund a secret police force that murders us in the streets. We the People gave you OUR power so FUCKING USE IT.

Especially when you bash people like me. I grew up by Rockwell Hall in Chicago. Where real neo Nazis recruited in my neighborhood. Learned about them and been fighting them ever since. Practice what you preach because I am in your fucking choir. We are now putting down our bodies. Physically.

“This guy gets it” in response to ottovondanger post: I want to be clear on something. I’m a warrior but I’m a veteran for peace. I have fought the system peacefully my whole time in America. I loath violence and killing. I e seen more than my share. That being said these are Nazis and they will murder &oppress us until we stop them physically.

YIKES!!!!! I can only imagine! My search brought up the right image but not in green. Her name was Murgatroyd and I bawled when she burned on I-80 (gas line leak) on my way home for spring break. We stopped traffic for 3 miles in both directions.

Poor hypocrite Margie. She dished it out personally but can’t take it herself.
