Bluesky has just welcomed & verified ICE. Yes, you can (and should) block @icegov.bsky.social … …but also think about the violent dangerous hatred the ICE account will spread to those who don't block it, and the consequent radicalisation. Time to consider Fediverse/Mastodon! #Trump #ICE #Fascism

ceding AI to the right is a generational poltical mistake and bullying LLM researchers off bluesky to cook their brains in twitter racism is a self defeating and foolish act from well meaning people deluding themselves into thinking intentional ignorance is a valid form of critique and resistance

John is tongue in cheek, but there's a statistic in Laura Bates new book that 90% of deep fakes made are of women, and if you don't process the implications of that and come out demanding regulation I'm not sure you're reachable.

Merry christmas everyone! 🕊️

we have to build thousands of small websites we love and enjoy in order to beat back the ~10 websites that have transformed this miracle of a communications layer into a compromised nightmare btw release your projects !!!

@nyankokimi.bsky.social happy birthday Kim!

Morgen!

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I don’t mind the idea of AI doing my dishes because that’s the stuff I want to be disrupted. But it doesn’t have to look human to do this! Look at our little roombas. They do a good little job, and should they turn evil, and it would be hard for them to punch us in the face.

@kamalaharris.com not sure if this will get read but this is perhaps interesting as an idea skyview.social?url=https://...

We've already had a great response to this. Thank you everyone who took the time to make a ranking - I know there's a lot of proposals. If you haven't, there's still time! bsky.app/profile/fire...

At #fronteers #DarkMode, @utilitybend.com proposed the <rangegroup> HTML Element. It unlocks the multi-handle range slider, a pattern you might have already seen when picking a price-range. Feedback Form (with links to the explainer and demos): docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/...

Dit zit in onze regering. De waanbeelden en demonisering na een politieke moord. Wilders heeft nul verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel, nul democratisch ethos, nul belang bij feiten, waarheidsvinding en onderbouwing in het publieke debat. Zulke gewelddadige metaforen en ontmenselijking. De man is unhinged.

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

And here I am worrying about my own piddly power consumption. I'm not the one leaving behind treacley black carbon footprints the size of medium-large countries.

💡 CSS Tip! Do you know that you can use offset() to place images around a circle? And if you combine it with the new sibling-*() functions, you can have a perfect placement that works for any number of elements! css-tip.com/images-circle/

@claudiazelf.bsky.social hey Claudia fijne show vandaag! Het was alsof je het helemaal tegen mij had en ik de enige in de zaal was. Had ik net even nodig :) Overigens super lief op het damestoilet voorafgaand wensten volslagen vreemden elkaar veel plezier. Zulke saamhorigheid. Dat is jouw publiek ❤️

The thing I want most for tech is for engineers to stop gushing about *what* they used, and to start asking "but is it *good*?"

So much of the US coverage of the German elections is cast in a "sky is falling" AfD rising apocalypse frame. I get it. The AfD is going to 2x its vote and get around 20%. But another way to look at this is that the AfD blew it. The conditions couldn't be better for the AfD to surge and yet. 1/ 🧵

I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)
