Tech has a very big fascism problem

The #IndieWeb has begun to document experiences with LLM-traffic spikes on our wiki. If you have written about or have read stories of similar experiences I’d appreciate you sharing them in the wiki, or as a reply, or send me links directly . indieweb.org/large_langua...

Every other nation is headed to 2050, and we're hustling backwards to 1950. Embarrassing. We're talking about getting to the moon or mars first. That's a massive public/private infra project. But we can't even build trains. We can't build bridges. We can't build housing. They are the same skill.

The arbiter of good taste

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

HUGE NEWS: Governor Newsom just signed into law our bill to ban ICE & other law enforcement from wearing ski masks & other extreme masks. The No Secret Police Act (SB 627) will help stop the masked secret police who are kidnapping people in our communities. Show your damn faces.

Every time a city prioritizes non-car travel, pedestrianizes thoroughfares, expands transit, improves bike networks, implements congestion pricing or creates new public spaces, that city becomes better. It’s not a war on cars. It’s an effort to make cities better & more livable.

Los Angeles was affordable when it had zoning capacity for about 4-5x its population. The city slashed zoning capacity in the 70s. We’ve had persistent homelessness since the early 80s. This is not that complicated.

Disappointed to hear that my torrent tracker cancelled the seed of Penda’s.Fen.1974.1080p.BluRay.x264-SPiRiT.mkv because the original seeder made a joke about Charlie Kirk

BBC News captures Doctor Who himself Sylvester McCoy at the Trump protest seemingly unaware of who they're interviewing.

as you cancel disney subscriptions, please remember to support your favorite independent media. there are amazing people doing critical work with very little support, and things are only getting harder. here are some of my favorites: www.citationneeded.news/friends/. feel free to post yours below!

With the weight of her objection and that of the many NIMBYs calling his office, I urge urbanists to not rest on their laurels and join @cayimby.bsky.social's campaign to call @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to tell him to sign #SB79 cayimby.org/call-sb-79/

Independent journalists are stepping up where traditional outlets are pulling back. They’re covering communities, beats, and stories that would otherwise go untold. That’s why Project C launched their #BackIndieMediaDrive with 34 indie journalists to support this month: projectc.biz/backindiemedia

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

Was in Federal Court today to talk about the financial transparency we're bringing to homelessness spending! 💰🔎 (We are short-staffed but we're doing our best to give you all the information you deserve!) Visit our homelessness dashboard at homelessdashboard.lacontroller.app

Groups like Media Matters are more important than ever, but they're probably going to be driven out of business (either by Musk's lawsuits or the coming crackdown on liberal groups by the government).

What's happening to Media Matters is such obvious bullshit. Musk's lawsuits against them are entirely frivolous, but he knows he can use his wealth to drown them in legal fees. It's disgusting.

Almost twice as many residents WALK to the airport than take public transport. We need an airport transit concept NOW.

I doubt I'm the first to talk about this, but wtf is up with the UI of the iOS Preview app? It prominently shows these cards that you can't interact with and the rest of the UI language in this app doesn't even utilize this card metaphor. It's absolutely useless visual flair.

Hate to admit it, but for the 80% of cases where it works, #liquidass is pretty fucking cool.

When the Chamber spends big on ads against raising wages, but the comment section turns into a pro-worker rally. 👀👏 I had to read some of my favorites. Thank you to everyone for speaking truth to power. Your voices matter and tomorrow we are bringing those voices to City Hall.

Realized I wasn’t a regular contributor. Fixed that 🫡

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk. But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk. Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

In the era of web forums, you'd go to a sub forum called "news" or "politics" or "off topic" to argue with people over current events outside your community. And then you'd go to the rest of the forum to discuss other things you were interested in. Have been missing that distinction a lot lately.

"Cancel culture" wasn't something the rightoids feared. It was something they wanted to gain.

Can you believe it’s been three years since this wild community board hearing on Just Home? On September 18, the NYC Council will finally hold a hearing on this project, which will provide permanent, supportive housing for the formerly incarcerated with complex medical needs.

Nothing screams authoritarianism like the state using its power and apparatus to force politicians, the media, and individuals to put on a forced show of grievance for a figure head the regime supported. Must fucking suck Glad we live in a free country, eh gang?

I know that i post Gaza fundraisers everyday, but this one is important. Nema needs $1300 to evacuate herself and her family but she's only raised $70 so far. PlEASE help her out. Also, Nema has whatsapp and would be more than willing to jump on a call to verify herself. PLEASE share this!

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,
