This isn't a list of jobs that A.I. can easily replace. It's a list of jobs that techno fascists don't think are worthwhile or meaningful and that they want to eliminate. They don't want humans to try to make sense of the world, they want us to believe whatever we're told.

Just started Doctor Odyssey - 23 minutes in and my impression is WTF is this show? *bewildered but not un-entertained?*

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I started a queer movie brunch club this year and chose Saving Face as one of the first features. I don't even remember the first time I saw it, but I sure fell in love when I did. Don't miss Wu's more recent directorial outing (The Half Of It) either! I hope to see much more from her.

It's been some time since I watched this, but imo it is one of the very best explanations of why you should not allow yourself to be interviewed by the police. youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE?...

I've only managed to read one book in the last while but it was WOODWORKING by @emilystjams.bsky.social - absolute banger of a story, my favorite read of 2025 so far. Bonus: finished during #transrightsreadathon. 🏳️‍⚧️

I need people to not humor very obvious bad faith content trying to normalize bigotry in book spaces. “Clean” is a conservative Christian term. It’s explicitly sex negative and anti-lgbtqia. It not only means no on page sex but present no a very specific type of love and world view. White supremacy

I LOVE REGULATION. I LOVE THE PEACE OF MIND KNOWING THAT A RESTAURANT IS SAFE TO EAT AND A PRODUCT WONT KILL ME. I WANT MORE REGULATION. I DONT WANT CORPORATIONS TO BREATHE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT PERMISSION.

“People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, and your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.“ - 1984, Orwell

I spoke with Shohreh Aghdashloo about how her devoted Expanse fans manifested her casting in #TheWheelOfTime Season 3, facing off with Sophie Okonedo, and why she loves Elaida, flaws and all:

Kino Loy lives and I don't want to hear another word about it.

I reread the trilogy a few years ago and a) it really holds up and b) the anti-war commentary is BLISTERING.

2. This lawyer by the way was involved in the arrest of Pinochet, and has written extensively about Nazi Germany.

Boston cream or, if unavailable, regular glazed. If it's a fancy place, occasionally a maple bacon.

The one downside of these excellent noise canceling headphones is that they automatically sense when I start singing along to a song and pause the music so I can finish the conversation it thinks I'm having.

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like. That is the headline.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

“I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” Hossam Shabat’s final message to the world, shared by his team after Israel assassinated him this morning in northern Gaza.

Just a reminder that anyone can nominate books for the Ursula K. Le Guin prize! Only a week left to do so -- nominations close at midnight Pacific on March 31.

It is a tiny step from where we are—which is disappearing innocent people who are legally here but not citizens—to the next step, which is disappearing citizens who disagree with him.

You know he isn’t looking for people who are hostile to the US; he’s looking for people who don’t like him.

Gift link for the non-Atlantic subscribers about how... I mean, the headline pretty much says it all, Trump's national security team included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic in a Signal chat about its plans for bombing Yemen.

Shop, IDGAF that you're holding $$ in rewards that I can only spend from the app. I simply refuse to download one more single purpose app to mimic a purchase process that already exists outside of it.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

The ACA was cool because it made it illegal to deny you access to health care for needing access to health care the things it banned were so horrifying that people straight up don't believe they were real

These dragons are EXCELLENT buddies, highly recommend for a good cause. 💜

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

American people don't like to admit that someone was going to get hired for the job no matter how much they hated the candidates, but the outcome was going to be a hire, and one resume sucked but at least was somewhat human and maybe movable to the left and the other was a Nazi. Like.

Finally found it. The average book thief makes between 60k and 99K USD. The average author makes around 10k. Most pirates are stealing from people worse off than themselves. But they cosplay as poor or use poor people as a shield to justify their class warfare. torrentfreak.com/wealthy-olde...

“worker solidarity except if you make media i don’t want to pay for” is and interesting way to prove your leftist bona fides “some of us can’t afford books” is a legitimate problem! but that shouldn’t meant that you make *everyone* not be able to afford *anything*!

NY, call: Hochul + your state assembly member, your state senator & rep, all of your local officials. If you live outside NY but work here or come for medical care, call Hochul AND your local officials. If you live outside NY, call the NY Tourism Board. There are 3 measles cases in NYC, ffs.

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...
