@roomy.space - our digital community garden for knowledge cultivation - has taken a long time to get right. Long enough that some people lost faith in us along the way, and that's fair. We'll try our best to earn it back. Spare me a moment to reflect on *why* this thing needed to bake a bit longer.

1. very happy about this. exceptional use of power & the ability to consistently roll natural 20 charisma checks. 2. more of this, please! 3. i also know he’s capable of walking & chewing gum. 4. where we at on “holding private hospital systems denying GAC to account”?

This is it, right here, right now. The whole game. All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this. If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States. If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.

something to remember: trans people have existed for decades, even millenia. there are ancient texts from 2000 BCE about "turning a man into a woman and a woman into a man." We have existed for longer than pretty much every country existing today. It is not going to be easy to eradicate us, ever.

I remember seeing that “Trans Tipping Point” Time cover on a newsstand way back when and thinking maybe things were going to be okay. I’ll never stop being angry that my friends’ trans kids are now growing up in uncertainty and fear because the right saw an opportunity and the left let them take it.

i stand with my trans homies! 🏳️‍⚧️ fuck this administration and the rotten animals who’re in charge! and fuck the disingenuous losers who are just “asking questions”!! here’s a question i’m “just”asking: when will you die!?

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

but we don't want to get beat to making the torment nexus

Seeing loads of TikToks with serious views New Yorkers surprised and satisfied that the sidewalks are clear despite all the snow but this one captures something special. Folks seeing their neighbors putting in the work making them believe in the shared project of an easier city, possible together

the costco CEO is a 40-year-veteran of the company who rose from being a forklift driver to the top, the firm has made a public point of defying Trump's racism, and by god they will make sure that the hot dogs have ketchup. www.cnn.com/2026/02/07/b...

this is a really funny idea, i think a way to make it even better would be to have it set off a loud siren with lights that goes "WEE WOO WEE WOO GLASSHOLE DETECTED. PRIVACY COMPROMISED. LOCATE THE MOLE"

Even more evidence that building new housing decreases rents: Researchers tracked the residents of a newly built luxury condo building and found that they freed up less expensive apartments nearby. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

user agency is anti-capitalist. when not explicitly anti-capitalist, user agency is capitalism-retardant.

This is an achievable goal and I won’t stop until it happens

100,000 fuzz iterations. I'd say this part of the system works :)

this guy is accused of molesting his sister btw

this is a very funny human tendency i see all the time, to have written off some tech as garbage a few years ago because you had a bad experience and then complain about it for the rest of your life without having any idea how things have progressed since then my parents do this with dishwashers

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands Kill your inner exec

i think the gmail analogy to bluesky is pretty good, but the beauty of email is that even gmail users can message anybody on any weird email server on earth even if atproto ends up being 80% centralized in practice, its better than being 100% centralized by design

Amtrak's Newest Train on film Their "Airo" trainset in Cascades livery looks fantastic on Fuji 200

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

yes, i agree, twitter right-wingers: we should be Revisiting What We Can Learn From the Old Ways

Mayor Whitmire has consistently been vehemently against any change that improves safety for pedestrians or even reasonable safety improvements for cars; He's ripped out so much infrastructure that was designed by engineers following safety standards in favor of roads as wide as humanly possible.
