Why is this the world we're making for ourselves lol

so cool 2 be consumed with shame of my country all day and also every day

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

wouldve walked out of marty supreme if i hadntbeen invited by my in laws 🤝🏽 in laws wouldve walked out of marty supreme if they hadn't invited me

The winning argument for Dem leaders could be "they want to fear monger about trans people and trans healthcare because they don't want to talk about why your life isn't as good as it could be and have no plan to make it better" — except that most Dem politicians also have no plan to make it better.

We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

Hey it's another one of those scams where you say you're using AI to do something you're not going to do so you get free media coverage and people give you money

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime is underway and it's not AI:

wicked: for good (2025)

SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE A group of New Yorkers has made an ICE hotline to protect their neighbors from being kidnapped by secret police.

And it's like wow how are Black people existing on bluesky if there's so much antiblackness here. So lesson one of being Black is that everywhere is antiblack. So you just pick your flavor of antiblack & the heat level of the antiblackness.

every company in 2025

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide. And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft. What does OpenAI offer the world?

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

EEEEEEEEEWWW

The lesson here is have good principles and stand on them. Stand for something that isn't power!

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

MAMDANDATE

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

oh how i love to be a paying subscriber to local independent worker owned journalism (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ @hellgatenyc.com ♥

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

CC Ezra Klein

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

Did you wake up irrationally angry at how much energy is being used - and CO2 is being emitted - to foist upon us AI technology that most of don't even want?

All the thinkpieces about Bluesky don't account for the fact that it's occasionally 100% wall-to-wall baseball on here

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

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.

Set up a recurring donation, if you can—even small amounts help. Ask your employers if they are willing to do a matching donation

lotta people are saying eric adams’ career is over, but you never know. new york is a place where you can experience anything from a plane crashing into our trade center to a person celebrating a new business that’s open

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

it is far better to be in a country with a mass visible protest movement than one without it

See you boys next year #brewers

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

RIP D'angelo. Black Messiah is a top 5 of all time record.

there is lots to be scared about, no doubt, but "you should be scared" is not a call to action.

May I just say: Hell yeah Brewers

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

don't vote for Andrew Cuomo, Mayor of Slop

the two things keeping my brain okay right now (volunteering at repair cafes, going to dance class) do not at all involve computer. i am going to learn nothing from this.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

my gender? miss piggy
