We need a Tom Zarek of the Left

There's already enough videogames. Play some old ones.

Gimme one of those crackers

Reluctantly voted for Tom Steyer. I think we should take all his money away, but he seemed like he's got a good head on his shoulders about trans rights and some other issues. Seems like the best option in a field of dogs, to me.

I wish cancel culture were real

EFF’s Threat Lab confirmed @WIRED.com’s finding that Meta has deployed facial recognition code to millions of their always-on surveillance glasses.

*seeing two people talk about spider man* you know that's all kayfabe right? The story line is pre-planned.

Saw this meme posted on Threads, and I know that everyone loves to do their "lol, rainbow capitalism!" jokes, but at this point it's been at least a few years since it's been accurate? Lotta brands are to afraid to even pander to us anymore.

Grim. Dismal. But unsurprising.

I was listening to a leftist podcast where they were talking about Platner as a sign of the Left's weakness because we haven't been able to dislodge him, and said liberals seem to love him. Libs on here are always talking about how The Left are obviously getting played by him.

me when someone mentions AI

in this video in like 4 different ways and I hate that

The Lord God Almighty, creator of the universe who separated the light from the dark and the land from the sea, who created all the animals and plants, and has a plan for every being, is a dude with XY chromosomes and a penis. A big old holy hog. Sorry liberals, that's in the bible.

Attorneys are a type of evil bard, I think.

Throwing every landlord in jail wouldn't solve all of our problems, but it sure wouldn't hurt.

I've always thought of the (surprisingly common!) trend of giving software engineers performance ratings in part by how many LLM tokens they use, to be akin to giving performance reviews to taxi drivers based on how much gas they burn. It's not a useful metric!

I'm not an AI sceptic, I'm a hater. "Does it use too much water, or is that overstated?" "Is it profitable, or only subsidized?" "Can it do the task of humans?" "Is jt sentient in some sense?" I have thoughts on all of these but they're all beside the point, which is that I want it dead. Fuck AI.

When people on bluesky try to ratio me or disagree with my takes, I simply remind myself of the most important fact of my life: I am right and the only reason to disagree is because you're a sadly deluded fool whose opinion can be disregarded.

It's honestly so funny that his last words were "counting or not counting gang violence." Just an all time piece of shit, truly a "he died as he lived" situation.

It looked awesome as hell is what happened

It's unfair to call the Marvel movies "kid's movies", they also have serious political messages, such as: - America is good - the military is good - military contractors are good - billionaires are good - heroes protect the existing power structure, villains try to change society

too soon

I feel like as a cis person so exposed to the trans community there's a real disconnect between how under assault trans and gender nonconforming people in general are, and people who aren't. You got Nuremberg laws being passed right now on the one hand, designed to ostracize and criminalize [...]

I don't really have an opinion on doordash other than it kinda sucks and when I had one I ate much worse and spent more. But if people want to get doordash I don't think it's a moral failing. That's my contribution to the discourse.

got a big ol dumper? social cues sometimes a stumper? I’ve got news for you

"But you can't deny that it's useful" is what I hear often when I criticize "AI". But that's not the argument because everything is useful to someone for some purpose usually at someone's cost. "Child labor" is _useful_. Question is: Do the uses bring more social value than the cost?

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

and queer people long before Auschwitz ever opened. Dred Scott was a decision that Black people weren't entitled to due process. Every single atrocity in human history revolves around dehumanization, and every dehumanization is codified by a deprivation of due process.

People forget that the Israeli government spent decades stripping due process protections from Palestinians before their apartheid escalated to full blown mass murder and genocide. The Nazis started with the Nuremberg laws stripping due process from Jews, Romani,

Adopt the People

My "agentic" AI son has generated revenge porn of me and inserted it without my knowledge into the church newsletter. But I believe he has learned from his mistake, and even if not, I can barely be mad - we're almost finished formulating our groundbreaking "new geometry" based on "number quimbles".

I believe that you and everyone who loves or respects you are all subhuman, not as good as people like me, and you deserve no rights. You on the other hand, refuse to engage with my ideas in good faith -- further proof that you're temperamentally unreasonable. Bluesky needs to clear out the trolls.

What do you call camps where people keep disappearing and dying

Surely they've suffered enough?

the key to winning at basketball is to get the ball through the good hoop while preventing it from getting through the bad hoop. that's my take on the matter, anyway, not an expert.

We actually don't need any more movies or books. There's already been millions of booms written and millions of hours of movies. As a society we can just start going through the back catalog.

With the rear wheels off, a Cybertruck can serve, briefly, as a wheelbarrow

“Giddy up jingle horse” sounds like something a homophobic cowboy would say

People refuse to believe it and most who do believe it usually shrug it off but US prisons and jails are in fact torture chambers. Conditions are HORRIFIC across the board. People are OK with this on the whole.

I feel like will stancil is just a guy who gets mad online all the time. Occasionally he gets mad at good targets, like ICE, but more often than not it's just random people who are rude to him because they don't like his politics and he points his crusade at them.

When the malice becomes louder, we need to become louder as well. Speak up. This is genuinely a "now or never" situation. Support our Trans siblings. Support our Immigrant siblings. Support those who are being targeted.

Fewer people have traditional careers these days, as the job market continues to be volatile. This will be reflected in the new Jason Statham film, The Guy That Changes Jobs Every Couple Of Years
