In an effort to preserve and prioritize my attention I virtually always block people who are rude to me but I also sometimes block people who are perfectly polite and could very well be lovely individuals because I absolutely cannot be trusted not to waste precious hours of my life debating them 🫠

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Among my many beefs with LLM-based systems is I refuse to agree with the future of technology being limited to a poor copy of the most popular bad ideas of the past, but stolen.

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano is a ten year old. A ten year old who was held in a detention center in Texas for a month. No child should ever be put through this. I swear I will force myself to live to see these day that this regime is charged for their crimes.

I keep saying this. It's just another way for white folks and the U.S. to distance themselves from their very recent history. There's no need for comparison to any other country at all!

Everything I know about Chappell Roan I've learned against my will.

A lot of people are choosing to miss the point here which is not “Every problem is super easy to solve and democrats refuse to do it” but that when there *is* a simple solution they will insist it’s much more complicated and the simple solution is impossible.

This guy went from folk hero to fascist simp so fucking fast

Your periodic reminder that... X downloads !== X active users X active users !== X people love using This is a post about AI stats and nonsense with math. (Also, millions of people love smoking cigarettes. Doesn't mean we just "need better cigarettes.")

Kendrick winning best rap album of the year over JID is crazy. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that most folks doing the voting Don’t actually listen to hip-hop.

The wealthy have class solidarity and we'll only beat them when we have it too

The inadequacy of this is so very deep.

So many people I used to respect simping for AI now

A reminder to never buy from Sticker Mule due to their blatant Trump bootlicking

I can’t stop thinking about how stupid it is that we don’t just give unhoused folks houses. Tiny homes are cheap and effective. Study after study after study shows that a housing-first approach is absurdly effective. This is a solved problem that we refuse to actually solve.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Obvious to anyone who's been paying even a little bit of attention.

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid. Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank. You could also help Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held by ICE for a year. His story is often forgotten:

Good

all power and glory to this lady in particular. may her days be blessed.

Do not let them lull you into compromise. Getting rid of Bovino isn't enough. Getting rid of problem agents isn't enough. Getting rid of ICE isn't enough. Keep fighting. Lives will continue to depend on it.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Ah yes, the very legal, very by-the-book Boston Tea Party. The super above-board Burning of the Gaspee. Holy fuck these people need books.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

It's a good day to stop using Hootsuite and tell them why.

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

The long tail of the fund the police movement is killing free society.

money is made up. gender is made up. race is made up. these systems of power are made up. everything is made up.

I‘m team abolish prisons, but I want every fuck involved in this jailed for life. Fuck ‘em all. They can rot there.

Fuck ICE youtu.be/q7Ol-YDS4Jc?...

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

I still can’t get over how quickly the “don’t tread on me“ crowd turned into “boot leather tastes delicious, Yum!“

The inevitability of AI is now under threat from no one wanting to use it.

Abolish ICE… then try them foe crimes against humanity

Here, @jay.bsky.team says Bluesky is for fascists, too: > I'm wondering, would you welcome by President Trump if he was debating joining Bluesky? > Yeah, Bluesky's for everyone, you know. www.wired.com/video/watch/...

What I continue to remain shocked by, possibly unduly, is how hard capitalism punished ordinary workers for cutting corners and doing the bare minimum for decades, and now it's totally pivoted to telling us cheating is cool.

As our civilisation relies ever more critically on software, we've collectively decided this would be a good time to lower our standards?

🧵

when we were told we needed to sacrifice for COVID large numbers of people screamed NO like toddlers and it was decided the toddlers should be listened to and coddled and that just told them a total lack of empathy was good and would be rewarded
