She's a flirt! She's a socialite! She's lavender-dating an aristocrat for his money! She's cursed to transform into a leopard every night and only true love's kiss will break the spell but she doesn't believe in love because she hasn't yet realized she likes women!

I forgot I scheduled this sale to run through the end of the month! You can get these 1920s lesbians dealing with curses and magic and being turned into cats and attraction they don't know what to do with for a few more days 💖🤍🧡 US: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSC1JHLV UK: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CSC1JHLV

I HATE editing promo etc for corporations but it was the bread and butter of the freelance editor market. This has died a death now, leaving wankers like me fucking penniless while they hire interns on minimum wage to come up with their video marketing material AND THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T DO THAT.

Mood swings but it's just me oscillating between yelling about the mayor and yelling about the premier.

One of my unfounded conspiracy theories about generative AI is that to fake the "intelligence" they simply packed in a very high unpredictability factor. Rogue actions feel like a choice, a decision of intellect, while predictability does not; predictability is already served by non-AI software.

I SUGGEST YOU GIVE THE OTTAWA FOOD BANK A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY OR ELSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL TELL THE FANGÈD BEASTS

I talked with @ziibiing.com about Stand With Minnesota, keeping neighbors housed during ICE escalation, and directing generosity where it’s actually needed.

Re last RT

Since everyone is (sigh) debating if writers benefit from reading books, I dissected a passage shared as “evidence” that non-readers can write great prose: countercraft.substack.com/p/what-not-r...

If you’re writing something yourself, you are finding sources and reading them and developing a mental map of how they all relate to each other and to the thing you’re writing. If you get an LLM to do it for you, you don’t have any of that.

this is why i find it clarifying to substitute "improv comedy group" for "ai"

If you need to have something important explained correctly, you cannot get that from a machine that does not understand things

As always, Doug, please go fuck yourself.

Sheri’s Ranch responded to the petition for union recognition by firing workers Jupiter Jetson, Molly Wylder, Paloma Karr, Adalind Gray, Genevieve Dahl, and Gwen Bunny. The union will be fighting their unlawful terminations, but for now, they need our support: www.gofundme.com/f/support-sh...

POWER OF ATTORNEY? Good for these workers for fighting this crap.

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

Emergency protest happening now outside Columbia University after ICE agents used a “bogus missing persons flyer for a 5-year old girl” to gain access to a school-owned residence to detain a student. That student posted to her instagram this morning: “DHS illegally arrested me. Please help.”

Outstanding work from @gbrumfiel.bsky.social & great use of Freedom of Information Act. Many thanks to @funranium.bsky.social for reminding & clarifying that the rules apply to Department of Energy facilities, like the pilot reactor program, not to reactors licensed by NRC. Still bad.

I was living in TO during Rob Ford (no relation). I remember Mammoliti as his thug enforcer on council, a deeply creepy homophobe who went to the Dyke March solo, cam in hand, silently recording women. He also tried to de-fund Pride and opposed same-sex marriage. He will not be missed.

Will instantly pledge my vote to whichever Toronto mayoral candidate pledges to open the Giorgio Mammoliti Memorial Brothel on Ward’s Island.

There's so many insane stories about Giorgio Mammoliti it's actually hard to remember them. Going down memory lane today. Wether it's trapping cats, insulting half the city, never showing up to work, visiting strip clubs while on the job or hating on gay people.

Went to the archives in light of Giorgio Mammoliti's death. His 2010 run for mayor, he was by far the most entertaining of the major candidates. He and Rob Ford hated each other, nobody got under Ford's skin like Mammoliti during the campaign. Then he went and turned Thumb. wp.me/pHJxs-sC

2017: I deputed @ Infrastructure Cmtee on making Bloor bike lane pilot permanent. That morning a father was killed cycling in Parkdale. I listened to Mammoliti go on about cyclists changing hats for the video count & other inanities. Outraged, I used my time for a minute’s silence, glaring at him.

I just read this and got nothin…. Each story is wilder and wilder

With his death, the off-record status of this segment of the 2011 City Hall Press Gallery Christmas Party has presumably lapsed:

He was such a weirdo, but he made Council interesting. RIP.

I think a lot about something on the model of the Abortion Access Hub, which is city-run, provides help with lodging and financial aid as well as booking services, and has advertised out-of-state www.nyc.gov/site/doh/hea...

At first I thought Erin was saying the fash think trans folks are interdimensional cosmic beings and the xenofeminist in me was so excited because that makes the trans/NB community even more fucking badass, but the fash drawing the line at literal space aliens tracks too.

In honour of the Sunday Telegraph's editor and offical maddest columnist, we have created the Allister Heath headline generator... stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app

Another insidious aspect of putting an AI agent in workers' headsets is that it's meant to answer questions like "how to clean the shake machine." Those are normally things you ask other employees. And that's how you develop relationships with other workers...which is the basis for organization.

Look guys, Allister Heath won't see all your vicious mean spirited generated headlines that you've made but he will if you email them to him at [email protected]

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status... all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy

All I can say is to trust the Bobcat when it comes to March Mammal Madness tips and tricks. The thread is only slightly longer than the tail #2026MMM

Thats why technofascists worked to get Trump elected--thats why they slashed USAID, thats why they're trying to destroy global public health, from vaccination to reproductive health programs. They want to kill off millions of people, most likely, poor, brown and Black. Its eugenics all the way down.

Just going to keep pestering you with ads for River until I find her the home she deserves (and that deserves her, and I know someone out there desperately needs a soul dog), so if you don't want this to be a dog account, get to sharing and help me find that home, please! 😉🙏❤️📌

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $
