Ew. Can companies please stop with this

bluesky post: having a bad day reply from a random account with a strange name and a bizarrely written, politically-focused bio with an emoji parade in it: “every day is bad day IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!”

Kind of want to put this bit on a billboard somewhere (or, idk, replace every web ad everywhere with this text) bsky.app/profile/edzi...

“Not only is the ratio of AI’s resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, AI-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind.” Whew, this was good.

Did like half an hour of yard work and now I’m covered in dirt & scratches and sneezing bc of something in my shed. Good times.

Maybe this is generational bc I don’t *think* I’m a sociopath, but I don’t understand the appeal of watching strangers get ready in the morning or clean their fridge or whatever. I have no investment! Lady I don’t know you!

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

What he's describing doesn't sound like any real memory, it sounds like an advert for cocoa, these folks are nostalgic for something that never existed, and working themselves up into frenzy over it. It's absurd. Like seeing the sleepytime tea bear and screaming "Remember what they took from us!"

America IS great

Update: her name is Broggin and she is a manipulative little sucker who is trying to live multiple places apparently 😂. I am going to return her to her block and I guess run away fast so she doesn’t follow me again 🤣

I am in touch with the caretaker of the cat colony now. Trying to figure out if this small monkey belongs somewhere. She hung around yesterday. Of course I let her in bc I’m a sucker.

Doing my fall fashion deep dive, and if I die it's the word "elevated" that killed me.

I keep seeing this and I'm like, "wait, whose cats give you your space in the heat?"

Ok this is objectively hilarious

as a christian, one thing i love about trump is that he explicitly rejects the teachings of jesus

I have said this before but I need people to really understand that when Musk calls people NPCs he BELIEVES IT. He thinks he's smart because he has thoughts, because he does not believe others do These people honest to god do not view the rest of us as real people. And that should scare us

finally have concluded this too after all the batshit interviews these dudes keep giving lately.

From Hollywood to TV networks to Netflix to YouTube to Uber: they want to cut out humans from the entire money making process. They want to kill the whole world and rule over a graveyard fueled by a digital noise. They are all becoming anti-human. The fight is becoming human vs anti-human.

So now we're back to *not* ascribing one person's actions to a whole political movement. It's dizzying I tell you!

"out of the three mass shootings today,"

Even setting aside ethics (but, yknow, THAT) - I just don’t want AI bullshit. I don’t want an AI pop star, movie, book, video game. Art is a conversation. Why would I stare at a dictionary run through the washing machine when I could read a poem lovingly constructed by someone’s hands?

It's like those videos where a human throws a ball for their golden retriever then hides under a blanket when they run to catch it, except no one involved is as cute as a golden retriever and the ball is democracy I think

Is this literally the closest he’s ever come to getting it 😂

I took my husband to the airport to go to a conference at 7:30, so now I've been convinced all day it's Monday.

Update: she is climbing on me purring. Now I’m worried I’ve stolen someone’s kitten (SHE FOLLOWED ME ITS NOT MY FAULT). She is ridiculously friendly.

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

So I reported in this story that the reformers of the Louisiana Democratic Party were planning to form a Progressive Caucus, which had dozens of sign ups. The moderates and conservatives in the party voted to kill it yesterday. This is a party dedicated to losing.

Guys a feral kitten is following me home. My husband says no. I am being tested.

I hated the bubble skirts in 2004 and I hate them now. Fashion can try all it wants, but it will not sell me this.

Sitting bed with a candle and book trying to trick myself into believing it's time to sleep, bc I have to take my husband to the airport at 7:30 and I do not live that life

"talent"

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

This was the inevitable endpoint of GamerGate.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

War ravaged Portland

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists" Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists" Funny how the time window on that worked

Ai stuff must hit so hard if you're stupid.

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

@sarahmoon.bsky.social i hope you are doing ok in war torn Portland. Thoughts and prayers

WHEW this

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false: www.wired.com/story/herita...

If they’re just going to waste a couple hundred billion dollars, whatever, no big deal, could have eliminated world hunger, then we either need to be abolishing billionaires or abolishing dollars, bc this is so fucked up

i love how we can tell what he's been watching on tv on his gold toilet from these posts

can't wait!
