We all have a choice. The Internet is ours.

That whole “saying untrue things to make themselves feel better, then responding to empirical critique as if it were a personal attack” thing…

This is so fucking ghoulish.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Little reminder that Inclusive Design 24 is currently happening, and the talks and discussions have been fantastic so far!! It's free and you can join live, but also, you can catch the replays on YouTube later. Here you go: inclusivedesign24.org/2025/ #Accesssibility #InclusiveDesign #id24

Considering how quickly video doorbells normalized the practice of publicly complaining that a suspicious black man walked past your home, I can just imagine where smart glasses will take us.

this exists it is called thinking

Really thorough rundown of what’s going on with Indiana Medicaid, by @wdownard.bsky.social indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/09/18/m...

Why does The Horst Wessel Song keep running through my head this past week?

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Seeing fellow Americans tossing aside the greatest single life-saving invention in the history of the human race is depressing AF.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

So the Washington Post fired Karen Attiah—a Black woman—for doing nothing more than quoting Charlie Kirk's words about Black women? Is that what I'm understanding here?

@safety.bsky.app This post has been up for over 1/2 hour. Do you all not have any kind of emergency response team? Are you *sure* this is 230 protected content? Even if so, it violates your TOS, which I am familiar with from practical experience.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

say it all plainly. it shouldn't be hard or controversial. this is this man's legacy www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Sorry am I losing my fucking mind?? @bbc5live.bsky.social currently reporting Charlie Kirk as a “free speech advocate who helped a generation of students with their debating skills”??? He was a racist conspiracy theorist who advocated violence against women and transgender people. He was a bum.

his father was unavailable for comment

its 2026. the only legal jobs are ICE agent, AI server farm maintenance, and beef tallow renderer

I took some photos at my daughter's softball games this weekend. I really like the composition on this one.

Sometimes I think back to the internet circa 2000-2015ish or so and get legitimately upset. I get sad for what we've lost, and angry that it was taken from us.

“How Google’s shift to AI has obliterated the utility of Google search and how (consumer generative) AI more generally is ruining everything it touches” might be a better story. I dunno. Just me?

This, on the day Trump declared he can assassinate any of us for any reason, is for the documentary about how our tech elites either eagerly or complacently gave us fascism.

IMO the reason why people yearn for tools that generate code is that programming is broken—everything now is giant layer cakes of huge, complex and intransparent frameworks designed by and for large teams in giant tech companies.

More like scientific meth.

This one is only for Blueskyers of a certain age.

an interesting thing about artists is they often have to cultivate technical expertise because whatever they're trying to do can't be delegated because if you could satisfactorily explain it to somebody it wouldn't be art

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

oh

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

What an image (J. Scott Applewhite, AP)

“Trump’s pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isn’t some quirk to be ignored or waited out — “there goes our Donald!” — but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.”

This WaPo piece about the Airbnb/DOGE guy who is now the head of design in government ignores that: *DOGE fired the actual talented design people in government, including Social Security! *IRS had a beautifully designed tax filing system that DOGE killed *USDS already did online passport renewals

we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say "i wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large I can't even tell you how much it was" & it doesn't cause immediate national outrage

The @unbreaking.org team just launched a new timeline of the administration’s attacks on our immigration system, and I don’t have the words to describe just how much work went into creating it. It was a hell of a thing to witness. Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you 💜🏆

I understand why Mark Zuckerberg thinks he needs to look for more intelligence.

The Trump administration's Department of Labor launched a new website today for the country's 250th birthday "Celebrating the American Worker." The banner image of the website is an AI-generated stock photo. www.dol.gov/general/Amer... stock.adobe.com/images/Ameri...

Immediately after his "segregation forever!" line in his inaugural address, George Wallace asserted that the federal troops at Ole Miss -- sent there after a racist riot killed two and injured hundreds -- were needed more in Washington, DC. This is a very old, very obvious play from racists.

Asbestos as a metaphor for where I suspect we might be going with LLM tools: rapid push to shove it into everything as a "modern solution," then an eventual "oh shit" walkback.
