A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans. (Reply to this post with your own art/website etc. But only if you’re an organic life-form). www.worldofmoose.com

that’s just a job. nobody gets to speak freely at a job. you’re selling your time and freedom. it’s called decorum.

Idk man, maybe the bigots and sex pests are, but that sounds like a YP www.foxnews.com/media/white-...

If you’re thinking, what can we do? Well, I’ll tell you one thing you can do: look at the patterns of the past and then REJECT the next big disruptive technology that comes along and seems like an “emperor has no clothes situation.”

Absolutely not. Every time someone tries this, I point out how it biases against Black speech. Every. Time. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Also from the launch of the Perspective API and its "toxicity" score. Police don't kill too many Black kids." Score: Not toxic.🤦🏿‍♂️ "Police kill too many Black kids. Score: 80.28% toxic.😮

With the stories of how more than 5,000 streets were named, we are (we think) London's biggest repository of the capital's topographical knowledge. (That's a lot of big words...) Find out how your London street got its name. londonstreetguide.com/a-to-z/

This is the very first thing that has made me consider going back to the hell site.

"Moreso even than cryptocurrency, AI is entirely nihilistic, with zero redeeming qualities. It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop it has generated in the past two or three years." #NihilismAndTechnology

Veerle Verhagen linking battlefield tactics with improving Agile software delivery. She’s such a good speaker #PeersCon25

The news is there's no news at #peerscon25 with @witchofthetest.bsky.social

Pipeline workshop with Szilard Széll, we're talking about what quality is and not a single person mentioned Weinberg. Good job team 💙 #PeersCon25

Aaaawww yeeeaaah it's #PeersCon25 time, babyyyy!

The #agileTD beer club has finished writing their abstract (kudos to Emna & @the-qa-guy.bsky.social for reviewing). Next step: Recording the of the video. Plan is ready, now it needs to be put into action! @witchofthetest.bsky.social @agentaj.bsky.social @tamarajosten.bsky.social @tg2g.bsky.social

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

Is there anything about them that's not fascinating?

CORMORANT BABIES, BABYYYYYYY

Let me save everyone some time and confusion: "White feminism," is not the same as "Feminists who are white." I learn from feminists who are white every day.👍🏿 But I reject white feminism entirely. It's a danger to Black people, and I address it like the threat that it is. I make no space for it.

Let’s make sure they’re wrong, shall we?

Booking accommodation for a conference trip, then being sent a form by said accommodation where you need to scan your passport, that of the person you're travelling with, and to answer a questionnaire about the purpose of your stay including a personal statement OR HAVE THE BOOKING CANCELLED Wtaf

Can we just say this out loud? The muted and almost light tone of coverage of this guy breaking into an airport and managing to board a plane with a LOADED SHOTGUN would be wildly different if he wasn't white.

This is why I'm on the internet

any bird enthusiasts or ornithologists out there, can shed some light on my computer-game sound-effect magpie? #biologist #birders #ornithologist @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social

"two different penises, one of which was hairy and ejaculating"

The near insurmountable disappointment, being in the UK and realising that places called Something Something Gardens rarely if ever contain an actual garden

Audiobook listeners - how do you do it? I can't seem to stand anyone's reading style. Why does even non-fiction have to be so goddamn grandiose?

My favourite genre of post on any micro blogging platform is fake but comedic Rob Zombie lyrics and I need new ones

The tactics Trump used with Zelensky don’t shock Black USians because the gov has always used the same with us: 1) Be respectful/“professional” even if they aren’t. 2) To get help, expect to give up resources. 3) Be thankful/grovel for crumbs or be punished. 4) Say/do what they want or expect rage.

One of the things that bring me immense comfort in these very much precedented times are Dead Pioneers. If, like me, you enjoy punk and equal rights for everyone, I can highly recommend popping on their self titled album from a couple of years ago. Very soothing youtu.be/n1zws-Pa4PA?...

These things are great but you know what's even better? Not letting the fascists take over in the first place so you don't even have to do this 🖤 let's keep that in mind, crew, I believe in us

Would you cut this? 🌿 A future alive with buzzing hedgerows, singing Skylarks, and rich, healthy soil or one of silent fields, struggling farms, and nature in freefall? The UK Government has a choice. Tell them - Nature can’t afford a pay cut: action.rspb.org.uk/page/156168/... 📢

Language, like life, is not just a matter of words, it is something that must be experienced to be understood. A piece of software can never know what it is like to be hungry or cold, happy or sad. It may be able to identify a word or a picture of a cup, but it has never held one to its lips. 7/

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

"The Black mentor class is being fired, not just on television but throughout America." And that's why it will never be enough to "express sympathies" and send "thoughts and prayers". If you want to make a difference, hire, platform, support, and put on Black folks. Anything less is cheap talk.

@volkskrant.nl 'gebaar dat verdacht veel lijkt op een Hitlergroet' Hou nou op de Hitlergroet te normaliseren door te doen alsof dit alleen 'lijkt op' een Hitlergroet. Rechterarm schuin omhoog is niet ambigu, het is niet vaag. Dit is een kraakheldere boodschap. Noem het gewoon een Hitlergroet.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
