Mere admission of harm or wrongdoing is not adequate to receive grace or forgiveness. It must be accompanied by sincere contrition, changed behavior, and making amends. Words are easy, actions and impact are more important.

When working at TechCorp™️ the nearly all male lab was a pretty toxic environment. Often questions would be answered with a stock insult. On my monitor I ran the “marquee” screen saver with the text “WAYFS” I never pointed it out but sure enough someone would pass by my workstation and try to 1/2

This reminds me when I got rejected by Omni, but they encouraged me to revise and resubmit. Then one night while high on Ambien, I accidentally resubmitted the original which they accepted and published.

The fascists are using oligarch owned media to ✨manifest ✨ their worldview and desires.

You will find that most of the things conservatives get mad at are things they made up themselves. They are experts of dreaming up imaginary scenarios and then hurting their own feelings over them.

Trump talks as if Venezuela’s oil already belongs to American capitalists (in which he includes himself) and is fomenting war because he believes they are keeping it from him. Limitless avarice.

Prediction made possible by Elon / DOGE canceling all those Adobe Pro licenses which would have allowed proper redaction.

The techbros all watched the Animatrix where it shows the Matrix started with the mistreatment of AI humanoid robots. Yep, that’s right, they are building the Torment Nexus ™️ Again.

There comes a point when you are on the nerd/punk spectrum where you just let your goth partner pick out your clothes (and sometimes makeup) for going out. Tonight is that night for me as we head to Death Guild in San Francisco Xmas night. Happened to me in the 90s. And happened again tonight 1/3

When I wrote “Why I am Not Panicked About Being Replaced by AI” for @2600.com in the Summer 2023 issue, my arguments are being vindicated, but I underestimated how foolhardy the c-suite executives would be. hacker-ethic.flynnos.org/2023/10/17/w...

I mean it’s obvious to anyone knowledgeable but not hyped about AI, but 4000 people loosing jobs to AI is an argument for an “automation tax” to fund UBI.

With the complete Christofascist capture of the Supreme Court the constitution will become vibes based allowing anything the Authoritarian in chief wants to do sometimes without even a decision via the shadow docket.

We don’t have just plain fascists running things, it is Christofascists funded by technofascists (Peter Thiel is both) The SCOTUS has been weakening the Establishment Clause for decades.

It no longer surprises me how quickly liberals will welcome working with fascists and embrace them. His anti-Trump rhetoric and Lincoln project has always been a grift and an op. His wife Kelly Anne Conway does the pro-Trump grift. I am sure they file taxes jointly having fleeced both sides.

The real DEI was the cabinet members we appointed along the way.

I have observed that a natural consequence of capitalism is fascism.

Not to mention that the Catholic Church set up many of the ratlines that allowed Nazis to escape to South America amp.dw.com/en/the-ratli...

@scottsantens.com if this isn't one of the best arguments for UBI, I don't know what is. Let people do what they want to do and that will lead to better results than doing bullshit jobs to enhance some psychopath's social status. #UBI

I think not enough people realize that the American Catholic Bishops disagree with the Trump administration on immigration policy but approve with their full chest the Trump administration on their treatment of trans people. 🧵⏬: 1/2

What American said it was, and what it actually does have been diametrically opposed since the foundation. An enslaver said all men are created equal and had inalienable rights in our founding document. Those in power always had contradictions.

Some unsaid but inferred truths: 1) the GOP is a death cult that kills via policy 2) the GOP specifically wants to kill trans people and are currently participating in a trans genocide. 3) gender affirming care greatly reduces suicide attempts by trans youth, so this ban will result in dead kids.

Amazing what mistreatment of human beings a society will accept so long as you apply the label “terrorist” to them. Remember this when Israel describes Palestinians (including children) and the United States describes antifascists.

Part of the Hacker Ethic is to yield to the hands-on imperative. Self experimentation is bold, but Nobel winners have done this as well and this is not done by an amateur but an expert. As a transplant patient (the target recipient for this) I am thrilled by this research. 🧵⏬: 1/4

To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.

America is a fascist dictatorship murdering people with impunity outside of its boarder and invading its own cities with terror raids and violence. Americans have no chance to beat this purely electorally at this point.

You live in a fascist dictatorship that is hardened when the government kills a story on one of the news networks of record about the slave labor camp in a foreign country the fascist American illegally sending people to after kidnapping them off the streets and out of their beds.

Heather Heyer would be alive if the ACLU hadn't intervened in Charlottesville.

Fascists are running our institutions. Do people not expect them to actually act like fascists? We will not get good journalism from Oligarch-owned media, we just won’t. That is why most of my published articles appear in a magazine that gives t-shirts and back issues as consideration.

In Sweden they call this "The War of the Ants" (myrornas krig)

Dead channels haven't been blue for 10 years. Currently they're a solid gray-black, although good luck finding a kid that's watched anything on a "channel."
