Hi @bsky.app @support.bsky.team I really liked when I joined how nearly all pictures had AltText. I liked how I could set a reminder to add it. I don't usually need it, but, I like to make it easy for others. Can the default be to need it and someone has to go into settings to turn the reminder off?

I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

It doesn't matter that the "ex GOP" and "ex MAGA" personalities are all grifting and moving politics to the Right. The performance soothes the self perception of the centrist and "resister." It reinforces their fantasy narrative and tells them their blooming conservative worldview is correct.

Every centrist who hides behind "I don't like it but it's good strategy" when it comes to laundering genocide or sacrificing gay and trans and poor people or not fighting for vulnerable people or reproductive rights or social safety nets is in denial of their actual politics and ideology.

In case you don't know, it's very simple.
In an authoritarian cycle the "opposition" liberal party is captured by wealth interests and becomes conservative and defenders of a decaying status quo.
Fascists come along, offer the critique of the status quo the "opposition" can't and gain converts.

Meanwhile, the exact same oligarchs who are controlling MAGA are controlling the whole post-MAGA Tucker thing. Anyone being duped by this is at least unwittingly wanting to be duped by it. It's utterly transparent and anyone who has even glanced at fascist political cycles knows what this is.

I don't know, but, many of them probably watched all seasons of Peaky Blinders and I'd say that, of those who have heard of him, 99.999% know Mosley was a Nazi.
Why does Tucker Carlson have an opinion on Mosley? What percentage of Americans have even heard of the guy?
Again, this is what Tucker says to normal audiences. To his own audience, literally today, he went on a deranged rant about, among other things, how Oswald Mosley wasn’t a Nazi.
