Azine's informal free housing arrangement is about to end abruptly. We don't know when; it could be at any time. We need to raise money to get her into an Airbnb as quickly as we can manage. We don't have the resources for long-term solutions, so I'm just keeping her alive as long as I can.

“We should have banned government use of face recognition when we had the chance because it is dangerous, invasive, and an inherent threat to civil liberties,” EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @404Media.co. www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp...

sounds like a way to deport trans people

man this country is quickly heading to having bread and soup kitchen lines isnt it. And even that is probably not going to happen since this country has eroded any means of ensuring those can even happen.

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/th...

They are trying to normalize cruelty and violence. We cannot allow it.

Decent chance if you come across a candidate saying this in a GOP primary, really leaning into it and similar language playing up hard how Christian they are, it's because they have a Jewish opponent. They know it's the safe way to dogwhistle even though it's about as subtle as a brick to the face.

After many months of punching us in the face and body, our leaders realized they should stop punching us in the face. Will focus just on the body now.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I DO NOT WANT INTERNET OF THINGS I WANT INTERNET WITH THINGS AND THOSE THINGS ARE MY FRIENDS WHO MAKE INCREDIBLE ART AND JOKES AND SHARE WHAT MAKES THEM FIND BEAUTY IN THIS GODFORSAKEN WORLD. DEATH TO CONTENT LIFE TO ART DEATH TO ALGORITHMS LIFE TO SHOWING ME YOUR COOL THING.

It's actually good to point out Bari Weiss's shitty inaccuracies, her lack of any real journalistic experience or original ideas, and the fact that she's failing upward, promoted by antidemocratic oligarchs who have no interest in reporting the truth.

"Oh wow, Sage wrote a very thoughtful feedback post about the current bluuesky situation, thats very kind of her-" *record scratch* *Looks at date of skeet* Oh. Yeah. Maybe I should just bookmark/screenshot this thread to repost every six months when Jay and crew has another conniption

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

My electric bill shot up by over TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS this month with absolutely NO CHANGE in usage. AI HAS to go. NOW.

Good ol Paradox of tolerance. Punch Nazis forever.

There's a lot of problems with the state of ads on the internet but one that I don't feel like ever Even gets mentioned is how that excessive flood of ads we see everywhere eats up data. For people on metered connections it literally costs money to be spammed with ads

small rant but I always thought it was so weird that people who want to be influential get their balls twisted when they see their artistic influence around them in other people’s styles. u can’t have ur cake and eat it too

At 6% of my goal for this month. I need it up to at least 50% by the end of the month. If you can share, please do! ko-fi.com/laikalgagari...

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

if you’ve ever even quietly thought “i would just move,” now’s your chance to pony up and make that possible for not just someone but three someones.

Look here if you can't find your reps! Call them, *especially* your red ones, and tell them trans healthcare will NOT be used as a bargaining chip to end the shutdown. Intimidation with numbers guys

For those curious, this is the context:

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

Give wuff a snout! :D #foxpopvli #art

- there's ~38000 ICE officers - at $80,000 a year, that's $3,040,000,000 for ICE salaries - divide the 59,792 in ICE detention by that salary - $50,842 dollars PER ARREST - detaining costs $160 per person per day ($58,400 per year) WE COULD JUST GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP. racism is expensive.

Trans women unfortunately end up extremely ignored canaries in the coal mine far far too often.

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

Gods y'all, I am in the VORNIEST mood.

tired: defensive walking wired: offensive walking

Don't think this isn't an excuse to continue what they started. Democrats cannot, must not blink.

Hey white people! All that smoke you had for Disney and ABC and shit? Send that same smoke to the Black folks who lost their jobs for the same damn reason.

These images are 100 times funnier than AI.

Since we're all talking consent, I thought I'd revive this post I made back on Cohost last year.

I know I am only a humble speech pathologist, but for the professional record I reject everything that RFK says or will say about autism, and it’s important to recognize what he’s really saying is that to be neurodiverse is worse than to be dead

#SaveSpeech US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230. Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

The Daily Tism is embarking in the monumental task of out-satirizing both The Onion AND modern US society.

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches
