Renee Good and Alex Pretti's deaths are tragic, of course... That their deaths are drawing attention to the situation in #Minneapolis is needed in the city and nation. One thing that has been bothering me is that so many black and brown people have died or will die as a result of ICE's crackdown.

Some science to back up keeping your hope, and staying in the fight. #ICEout #Minneapolis

Opps, said the quiet part out loud! #StarTrek

#ControversialOpinion Being on dating apps has given me this opinion... Loving dogs is not a personality trait. #CatPerson

Oh

Before a Hundreds of Beavers theater screening last night, there was a short intro where they cut between one character wishing happy holidays, and cutting to another telling the crowd that they don't own most of the media they consume, and to buy physical media.

The term "Climate Change" was first coined in a 1975 paper on Anthropogenic Global Warming. Later when Global Warming was more broadly known, Republican strategist, Frank Luntz recommended using " #ClimateChange " in counter arguments about #GlobalWarming. In an attempt to shift the narrative.

Training tonight on Zoom. For security reasons, this won’t be recorded, but we will have some resources to share, and local organizers are working on other training opportunities.

I might be most excited about this Star Trek minifig. #LEGO #StarTrek

I will assume #VPAT quality and reliability is bad if it still includes the first 9 pages of instructions... The instructions say "Remove the first 9 pages of the document." To me, it says that the preparer doesn't take it seriously. They didn't even read the instructions... #accessibility

This might blow the mind of anyone born after 2000: To watch a video online you had to download a separate video player so that your browser could open the video file. That's why we all went apeshit about YouTube. Suddenly we didn't need to keep QuickTime, Real Player and Flash Player up to date.

Fun fact: Placing an orange traffic cone on the hood of Waymo vehicles makes them stop where they are and they will not move until the cone is removed... Only saying this so that people know what not to do when they see a robo car driving by... Yeah...

🚨 Upcoming #booktalk! 🚨 #CoryDoctorow talks about his new book ENSHITTIFICATION & how the internet broke & how we can fix it. He explores why everything online feels worse & what we can do next. 📆 Fri Nov 21st 🕙 10 AM PT 📍 Online 🎟️ www.eventbrite.com/e/book-talk-... @AuthorsAlliance.bsky.social

I just finished reading #Enshittification the new book by #CoryDoctorow which I feel is required reading for anyone who wants to understand why the Internet sucks butt these days, and what can be done to fix it. As my next read, Parable of the Sower by #OctaviaButler. It is basically prophesy...

Once again we must conclude that our ruling class is dumb, gross and smelly.

It's gonna be another amazing year at the Art Shanties! @artshantyprojects.bsky.social www.artshantyprojects.org

Hey Minnesota: ICE is now on the ground in NE Minneapolis. See thread. Stay alert everyone!

AI Slop and the Sora 2 release reinforces a fact that has been forgotten since the advent of YouTube... "Newness" does not equal "Goodness." We could watch a classic film, or scroll Tik Tok and something "new." One was made to capture your imagination, the other was made to capture your attention.

Android users who used Google Assistant and are annoyed they auto-switched everyone to #Gemini I found out that you can choose to use Assistant as a default! 1) open Google app settings 2) Tap Digital Assistants from Google 3) Tap "Google Assistant" #Android #Google #AIsucks

Big kudos to MIA for putting GOOD #alt #alttext on their bot account. Love to see it! #accessibility

People of Ireland don't have the illusions (delusions?) that Americans have about wealth.

I have a piece in an #art show at Modist Brewing. "This is Spinal Snap" is a skateboard deck with 3D printed worm-esque pieces and lots of paint.

This is huge news in the #accessibility world. I used to recommend Otter AI to students all the time. #AI companies are again proving that they willingly break the law for revenue (not profit, because no AI company is profitable. www.npr.org/2025/08/15/g...

ICE Is About To Go on a Social Media and TV Ad Recruiting Blitz 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-is-about...

@caseyjohnston.bsky.social I finished reading A Physical Education in my second week of StrongLifts workouts. Your book has been revelatory for me! I've always had my own self-image issues, and decided to commit. Thanks for cutting through the shitshow that is the fitness and health industry.

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

Ravenscrodt Musicke Guild did a lovely rendition of Dragons Roost from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker But I think that Link on stage is a Woodwindwaker. #CVG2025

If a drummer came out of retirement, do you think there would be repercussions? #dadjoke

Your #printer is a snitch... No really. Some brands add hidden #tracking dots to all print jobs that can be used to read the serial number on every page. Sooo, don't print anything you don't want getting back to you at home... #privacy #protest #leftist www.eff.org/pages/list-p...

This is poetic... Atari wins!

While AI is being hyped as something that could replace workers, I think it has more potential to replace management. But will it? Probably not, because they are the ones who decide who keeps a job. Will it be them, or the dozen coders who just pushed a new product? Don't trust the AI boosters.

@404media.co I'm a disability access professional who is dyslexic with ADHD, @josephcox.bsky.social is correct in claiming the use of AI as a "learning style" is not a valid reason for academic accommodations. It could make it harder for people with documented disabilities to obtain accommodations.

Remember when the Internet was good? Me too. It isn't anymore, because of Enshittification. When a site changes their algorithm to maximize engagement so they can ensure people stay on the site longer. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon have ALL enshittified.

Time for another musical digital security PSA. This one is for the 90s kids who need to make their passwords stronger

Question for everyone: You are on an island with only a movie theater on it, and you brought a show or movie to watch while waiting for rescue. What is that movie/show? #films #movies #tv #watch #fyp #film #movie #netflix

May the Fourth be with my Star Wars loving friends. Nerds must unite in the appreciation of fandoms. Sci-fi and Fantasy lovers are all cut from the same cloth. I love that people love stories. #MayTheFourth #StarWars #StarTrek #ScienceFiction #Fantasy

I never did 23andMe, but I did Ancestry DNA. I deleted my data from that platform. Even with HIPPA regulations, these companies have already shown they can't be trusted with this data. Ancestry cooperated with the FBI and allowed them to use private health information to identify a suspect...

I had a " #Copilot Basics" learning session at work. I attended as an #AI skeptic/pessimist and oooh boy... 1. No mention of AI Hallucinations 2. Every image was AI generated (C'mon, it's easy to find a real photo in PowerPoint) 3. Head of SEO cautioned everyone (rightly) about fact checking AI

I love 3D printing, man. You can just sculpt a Twin Peaks James, conjure him into the real world and nobody can stop you.
